I have Medival II: Total War Gold, I haven't used it ever since two years ago or something like that. I decided to install it in my laptop which is Microsoft Vista Service Pack 2.

The InstallShield appears to "prepare" for the installation when it stops halfway and it was not functioning or running, then the error message called "Unhandled Exception" appear with the message:

"Error number: 0x80040708

Description: Unable to create required engine components, check whether you have appropriate privileges to create COM components. (0x80004005) unspecified error

Setup will now terminate."

How can I find the solution to this problem? I already ordered Shogun: Total War and wait for it to arrive but now this error, I was skeptical for the game to work in a similar way.

Please help me
