from Stardock Forums
Hi im new to the forums so this probably isnt the place for this post but here goes : I place the sins dvd in the tray i select install game and i get a fatal error message pop up preventing me installing the game. Ive scoured many forums about this issuse and i see that people are saying you need to un-install the demo version and by doing so it will install the full game ok thats all ok except i havent ever installed the demo version i jus went straight out n brought teh game. So how do i get the dam game to install its driving me nutz i jus wanna play the game it looks sweet but at the mo im very dissapointed because it seems 6 outts 10 people are experiencing sum sort of prob with it. Please please help im sure sum1 must of had same problem as me if you've solved it share the love

:Never had demo version
:tried advanced install method
:updated directx9

You can install Impulse, register your Sins serial # in it, and then download the game (registering your serial allows you to download it as many times as you like). This will bypass the windows installer and should work just fine.

Get all current windows updates, because the windows installer has been updated several times in the past. So yeah, i believe your windows installer is outdated.

If not then copy the DVD content to the harddrive and try to install it from there.
