Installation Issue -feature transfer error

Pseudofool said:
I returned my game got a new one SAME problem; called the tech people and they walked me through installing the game through SAFE mode...this worked (though I still can't play, but maybe you'll be able to).

So restart computer hit F8 while it reloads enter safe mode, and install from there, and I had no problems installing. So anybody with the File transferring errors try Safe Mode.

Evidently there are conflicts between XP and the installer.

Pseudo,

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work for me. :( I got a similar error in safe mode.

Ok,

I did get the load to work! I tried copying the files from the CD to the hard drive -- and I got an error at the same point as when I tried to load from the CD.

I figured if there was a problem with copying, it had to be a bad CD.

I checked the back of the CD, and ther was a large line like thing on the disk. I touched it, and something flaked away. After that, I loaded the game fine.

I suspect the error message is a pretty generic one, for just about every kind of file read error from that directory.

I tried the whole safe mode installation method and it still didnt work for me either, iv also tried copying the data from the cd onto the hard drive, and i kept getting the same error at the same point as before. Should i got get a replacement disk, or should i call tech support and see what they say? Also disabling all the options with the all users and the firewall didnt want to work for me either. If anyone knows what i should do please respond
 
So, has there been any other resolution to this besides "Load in safe mode"? I tried that and no go.

My install freezez up on the same mp3 file, even in safe mode.

same as most, but error message is "Incorrect Function".

I freeze on the same file every time, it's the hymungslews.mp3
 
Took my original copy back to BestBuy, exchanged for a new one - and installed with no problem! :crazyeye:
 
Hi folks....trying to reinstall the game and this problem is now coming up for me....Just wondering if there was ever a solution for it...i'll try the safe mode method and check back.

thanks

Similar problem here too. During installation the 1st disc goes fine, I put in the 2nd disc when promted and it appears to work fine until the very end when I get the error:

D:/is not accessible
Acess is denied

Also data cab 3 seems to be the only file on the 2nd disc. Same with everyone else?

I have tried copying Data 3 to hard drive but it will not read Data 3 file when I browse to that folder.

Both disks install correctly on my old computer but on my new laptop the disks will not install. This is very frustrating because I bought the new labptop to replace my old but now can not play CIV IV.

I am also unable to install in safe mode same problem when inserting disk 2. NOTE: Disc 2 still installs on old computer so it is not a disk problem.

By loading both disks onto the hard drive first I was able to install the game.

Thanks!

I'm trying to install civ4 and having a reaccuring feature transfer error:
Feature: DefaultFeature
Component: Civ4Component
File: D\data2.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

I removed all civ4 files, and retried. I got the same error. Then I removed all civ4 files, civ3 files, and alpha centauri files. Still the same.

Anyone else getting this issue, or anyone else know what's up?

Yeah I am so pissed with this game at this point... I had a different error to begin with, and managed to fix it for the meantime, with a patch, among other things. But I uninstalled the game so I could install it on my ext. hard-drive to save space on my computer, and now I am getting the exact error quoted here. I tried the suggested safemode approach, but I can't seem to get into safe mode at all. I have windows vista on my dell inspiron 1521, and repeatedly pressing F8 doesn't do anything.

HELLPPpppp!!!!! I love this game, but the whole system behind it is BOGUSSSS....

Somebody help me, I'm addicted to this game. Feel free to email me at clairebear89@gmail.com, or just reply to this ASAP!!
 
ugg.... can somebody like walk me through how to install and use this game for someone who's not computer illiterate, but is pretty close? I paid 40 someodd dollars for this civ 4 gold edition (with warlords) and i cant USE ITTT. and thats annoying. I have dell inspiron 1521 with windows vista and a WD ext. hardrive, model: WD5000P032. I used fat32 on my harddrive so i could use it back and forth from macs to pcs....

please?:sad:

ps- i have "for windows" version of civ 4 gold.

I got the same error. I had civ4 installed on the same pc previously and was shocked when i could not reinstall the game again. My solution came when i wiped the layer of dust the disc accumulated over the past 3 years. It completed its installation after that. Hope this helps.
