Mass effect 1 Installing problem

[Gravemind]

so i have ME1 for the com, but evry time i try to install it the installer tells me: the installation of mass effect has been cancelled, please run setup. So i ran it trough setup and ended up with the same prob, this even got me to buy a second copy of the game trying to fix it, but when that 2nd copy came in, I ran it on my laptop to install it, but yet again i get that same senctence,:\

anyone knows how to fix this? pls reply.

Did you try all of these?

After you install it the first time, try patching the game before attempting to run it. It solved my problems.

I hope you get it installed, ME1 was the only really good ME in my humble opinion. 2 was so pathetic I didn't even bother getting 3. If you love shooters 2 & 3 will be great for you though, but they removed a lot from 1 and made those into shooters/rpg-lite if any.
