Alright, I just got PTW...and it does not install properly. At around 7 percent complete it stops and gives me a Component Transfer Error. Anyone else experienced this and know how to fix it? I already got a new copy and get the same message...

This is what it tells me:
Component transfer error
Component: Program_Files
File Group: Game Root Files [ENGLISH]
File: F:\data2.cab
Error: Incorrect Function
Now I ain't no computer whiz and this just confuses the hell out of me. Please help. I run Windows XP on a HP pavilion 503x if that helps any. -
What version of the Civ3 game do you have (ie, English, French, etc.)? Is it the same language as your PTW version? Also, this might sound like a stupid question, but - You do have Civ3 already loaded on your system, right?

I do have Civ 3 installed and both are the US versions...Comment

Well, you might not like this answer...
But I suggest that you totally uninstall Civ3 from your system, do a restart, then re-install Civ3, and install PTW.
I know that it is a pain, but it is the best way to make sure there are no corrupted game files on your system.

Alright, I uninstalled CIV 3 completely, rebooted and installed again. Still get the same problem...Comment

I hate to mention this, but IMO, it looks like you might have an illegal version of PTW that you are trying to install. Did you buy your PTW from a store or did you download it?____________________________

It sounds to me like you might have a bad disc. I'd say that CAB file has been corrupted somehow. You should take it back to where you bought it from and try another one.Originally posted by Narulas

I already did that, second copy still gives the same error message.Comment

Wait a minute. Narulas, you have already taken back the PTW disc to the store and the same thing happends with the new replacement?!
Why am I having difficulty swallowing this?
My suggestion is for you to delete your downloaded version of PTW and go out and buy a copy of the game.

Well, in case you are on the up-and-up, maybe someone else has some insight to help you out Narulas....but I've tapped my knowledgebase out.

There was the other guy on another board saying the same thing; except he confesed it indeed was a boot-leg copy! By the way he wasn't able to get it installed, he finally gave up and purchased it!
