Installing Starcraft

raoul_1101 · 11-20-2007, 09:31 PM

I'm having some trouble installing starcraft. Yes I still play that game, its amazing.... After I put in the cd key it starts installing, and near the end of the install, i get an error:

Setup was unable to copy the following file:
Files\EditLocal.dll
Error 0x00000005: Access is denied.
(C:\Files\Installer\setup\DiskUndo.cpp:240)

Installation Aborted.

How can I get around this?

I agree with cyber, thats gotta be from a disc scratch

raoul_1101 · 11-20-2007, 09:43 PM

no.. i even have a backup that does the same.
If i try to install it on another partition, though, it gets even farther, and then i get an error:

Aborted

And it quits out.
Ill go wash my disk jic

do you have any other computers you could try installing the game on? Also, have you uninstalled previous installations of the game completely?
