Triforce179 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hi everyone, I just recieved my copy of GTA: The Trilogy in the mail (bought used from eBay). GTA III and GTA: San Andreas have installed and ran fine, but I'm having problems when installing Vice City. The bar gets to about halfway when I recieve this error: Component transfer errorComponent: GTA Vice City File Group: App Excecutables File: D\:data2.cab Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check). I have checked the Bug list in this forum, and I have cleaned the disc (even though there are no scratches whatsoever on any part of the disc), have a working disc drive (because it installed GTAIII, San Andreas, and plenty of other games and programs just fine), obviously do not have a burnt or pirated copy of this game, have no non-essential processes running, have cleared my Temp folder, have no emulation/cd burn software running, am not running Windows 98 or SE, and have no alternate disc drive to run from (but as I said before the disc drive doesn't appear to even be the problem). This is getting very frustrating and if anyone could offer help or advice it would be much appreciated. Worst comes to worst I'll contact the seller and ask for a replacement install disc.

Miro Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hmm, sounds harsh. So, nothing worked from that list? I've got a suggestion though, never say never but it might do something: Try copying the contents of the discs to your hard drive, then run the setup.exe on your hard drive. It shouldn't ask for the disc at all. Dead (Retired) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it seemed to work at the beginning, and I got to about the last 1/5th of the transfer, and then I recieved a "can't read from disc" error, for, what else, data2.cab. It seems to be just that single file that is causing all of my problems right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Do you have some other PC where you can try installing the game to see if it works? If it doesn't, then we can be sure that the data on the disc is corrupt. I'd suggest you go in for a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triforce179 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Just tried it on another computer and I got the same error message. Pretty much confirms that it's the disc. I'll contact the seller and ask for a replacement. Thanks for all your help anyway guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
