Install problem - main\movies\demo_mtw2_campaign.bik

[firecrasher]

Hi everyone, I'm attempting to install and I get a box asking for the second CD and main\movies\demo_mtw2_campaign.bik (which of course is not on the second CD).

Could you please help? I'm not finding much on the internet about this problem (except a thread on a Turkish site).

My desktop is under a year old and has never had install probs before

When it asks for the second DVD, eject the current one and place the second one in the drive

Once it's inserted, hit 'ok' to continue.

The file on the DVD is irrelevant - it's automatic text generated by the installer.

I already tried... and I tried starting the installer again... same problem.

[sapi]

Using a legit copy?

Discs scratched at all?

Just picked it up at Best Buy yesterday. Mint condition.

I'm wondering if once I put in the second cd (even though it doesn't have the mystery file) I should go to My Computer and try running it from there. The worst that can happen is nothing.

This is so frustrating!!!!

I doubt you'll be able to run the installer from DVD2, unfortunately - most multiple disc installations rely on keeping the installation program running and so don't include it on subsequent discs...

Do you have another drive/computer you could test this on to remove drive errors from the equation?

I got it working, thanks. Now I just have to figure out how to stop losing all my damn sieges...

hi
I just bought medieval total war and I'm having the same issue that when I insert disk 2 I can't find the mtw2_demo_campaign file, please help already spent 2 hours trying to find a way

Hi all i have the same situation but I have somewhat of a different problem......I purchased this game about a year ago and have had no problems until my computer was infected by a virus and I had to do a system recovery. Now I cannot install this game because i get please insert disk (2) which has the main\movies\demo_mtw2_campaign.bik underneath. I then put the second disk in and the disk does not run like it should, in fact it won't even start spining fast at all. Could it be the drivers or somthing else that is affecting my installation?

Some things System Restore is not good at and one fighting viruses. If it was in your Restore Point you just reinfected yourself.

Run your virus scan, again, to make sure it's gone, then totally uninstall and reinstall the game. Only way after an infection.

You have entries in the registry that are being read as Medieval2 already installed. If you have a different install of Medieval2, you must uninstall it first. You also must clean the registry to get the entries its reding removed.

I am absolutly positive that the virius is not on my system. I have one question. Could the old backups be affecting my install

[irishron]

No, but the copy protection this games uses can. What other programs do you have installed?

[crazycaveman]

What "other programs" Like other games or system programs?

[irishron]

Just make all. There are others besides games that conflict.

[irishron]

Uh-huh. Do you have Daemon Tools, ISOs, EA Games, torrents, cracks, Limewire ilk on your computer?
