0X800 installation error

[Cretan]

I tried to install to my computer M2TW and M2TW Kingdoms but everytime I try this message pops up:

error nymber 0x80040708
Description:unable to create required engine componennts,check whether you have appropriate privileges to create COM components.( 0x8004005)
Unpecified error
Setup will now terminate.

I installed the suggested CCcleaner but it stil happens,I faced similar problems installing Stronghold 2 a week ago.I 've been playing TW for many years and I have faced many bugs and errors but this is pretty annoying!!!

Please help and thanks in advance.

PS.I have windows 7 service pack 1(I formated 2 months ago)

Just wondering since this format is relatively new,
1. Did you activate your copy of Win 7, again? Logged in as Administrator required.
2. Have you run Windows Update installing all software options but Bing and Malicious Software Removal Tool? autoupdate is a piece of junk and does not count.
3. Did you reinstall ALL your motherboard drivers? Microsoft generic ones are bad news and will not install your specific ones.
4. Are you logged in as Administrator? Not much good is going to happen if not.
5. Have you disabled the UAC? This game is too old for it.
6. Have you taken ownership/control of C: drive? It solves a lot of ills besides Total War.
7. Have you chosen folder outside Program Files or Program Files (x86)? Nothing good happens when installed in there.

Take care of the updates correctly odds are this message will take care of itself. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/843499

I did all the installation at another pc and I just copied the isntallation folders!M2tw and other mods run just fine!!

[irishron]

On which pc or both does it run fine?

[Cretan]

On both,m2+ kingdoms and TATW.

Glad to hear it's running on both. Enjoy playing.
