SW: Empire At War Install Error [Solved]

Post by Nova Hawk »

I've recently wanted to play my old SW: Empire at War game again but whenever it gets to a certain point, it gives me this error:

Feature: Game
Component: Game_Files
File: E\GameData\data2.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

And it immediately closes. If anyone knows what this error means and how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated.

This topic can also be locked. I was trying to install it in an extra drive other than the main drive and now I'm installing it in the hard drive and it appears to be working.
