As the thread title says, I'm having trouble installing Splinter Cell Double Agent on my PC. The game disc is a DVD, and when I first put it in my DVD drive the game splash screen comes up and a menu with several options such as install, manual, etc. appears. If I choose any of these options from the menu, an error window with the title "Splinter Cell Double Agent: SCDAAutorun.exe- Bad Image" pops up. The message contained in the window says:
"The application or DLL C:WINDOWS\system32\xinput1_1.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."
So after that error message appears I clicked "OK" and then everything seems fine and the game appears to begin installing. However, after a some more time passes I get a second error window with the title "Feature Transfer Error". The message contained in this error window reads as follows:
Feature: Basic Installation- Low resolution textures only
Component: Files2
File: H:\Disk5\data6.cab
Error: When accessing a new tape of a multivolume partition, the current block size is incorrect.
After this message displays I click OK and then the Installation process completely ends and returns to my desktop. I have no idea what either of the error messages means or if they are related in any way. After searching through the official ubisoft splinter cell forums and the few other splinter cell forums I could find, I still haven't found a solution to this problem. I thought I would try my luck and see if anyone here at Anandtech can make some sense of these error messages. I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
