K. So I just bought DoW: Gold Edition (has DoW and WA) and I can't even get the installer work.

Here is what happens...

1)I enter the CD-Key for DoW and then WA.
2)Accept the license
3)Decide upon the destination folder I want to install in
4)The next screen says: "Click the Back button to reenter the installation information or click Cancel to exit the wizard"

Well nothing seems wrong about the info I entered so I click Next and well the installer disappears right away. I hear the CD spin, but there is no progress bar or anything like that.

So far I have just shelled out $30 to punch my nuts at these frustations.

Please help!

Update windows, defrag harddrive, shut down any software running in the background and try again.

K. I did all that and its still not working.

What does defragging the HD do by the way to help solve this problem?

a highly fragmented harddrive can cause problems and slow down your computer.

Anyway, if that didnt help post a dxdiag and a log from hijackthis (google it) please.
