2 diff PC's-same install error: Feature Transfer: C++ Runtime Libraries 7.1

[LongKnife56]

I have tried installing this on two different computers that meet or exceed the system requirements. One is running Windows 2000 and the other Windows XP professional both with all the lastest SP's. One is a Dell Lappie (8200 with the 64 MB Radeon 9000, 2ghz and 640 RAM), the other has an nVidia with 128MB

On both I get the same error message at the very end of the installation process (dics 2 at 98+%) while installing the file civilization4.msi:

Feature Transfer Error
Feature: C++ Runtime Libraries 7.1
Component:
File:
Error: Incorrect Function.

So the game does not install

The only option is "OK"

Anyone got any ideas? Do you think my CDRom is defective? Could my anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-boot-logger, firewall software be causing the problem?

TIA!

Faulty Cd, known problem, return for exchange.

Quite a few defective disks got out, just exchanged mine today. The impression I got from EB is the problem is quite extensive on this release but not talked about, so there are no questions asked on return for exchange.

I would like 2K to release some data on the defective % and issue an Apology.

Thanks. I suspected as much.
