Arcanum XP(cannot install)

Post by Alexander004 »

I was wondering if someone here could help me with a problem.
When I mount install disk in deamon tools and try to start installation the next message pops up:

"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."

I have XP service pack 2:tried compability mods.tried it with administrator rights and still it does not work.Any suggestion would be appreciated.Please help.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried your original gamedisc? Maybe there's a fault in the iso-file?

Just try the original disc. Never had any problems with it. ISO-files tend to be weird, at times.
