877750 2010-04-18 07:57:00 i have got dawn of war 2 from a friend but for some reason when i go to install it it starts trying to install the 3rd party software to run the game and then an error message pops up saying install failed, i have made sure the disk is spotless and i installed steam which the game needed to run. i have no idea why its not working. My PC is a core i7 860 2.8GHZ 4gb ram 500gb hdd DVD ROM drive and a 8600gt GPU with win 7 so it should easily be able to play this game, any help is greatly appreciated smithinator (15240)
877751 2010-04-18 08:04:00 Whats the error say?? Does it show an error code? Or anything? You may have to do this (www.sevenforums.com). The 4th reply Speedy Gonzales (78)
877752 2010-04-18 08:14:00 no error code just: "the installation of this game failed to complete. please try again"
and it doesn't give me the option to run as admin but i am logged in as the admin

877755 2010-04-18 09:04:00 Send an email to whoever made it / or post a ? in their forum. Or kill UAC reboot then try again. Did you open the cd/dvd then run the setup file? Speedy Gonzales (78)
877756 2010-04-18 09:18:00 where in win 7 can i disable UAC? i did run the setup fil as admin but still didnt work smithinator (15240)

877758 2010-04-18 20:53:00 i have got dawn of war 2
it starts trying to install the 3rd party software
i installed steam which the game needed to run.

Uninstall Steam.
If the game needs it it will install it itself.
Try the install again after removing Steam.
