Zombiehobo Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I can get almost all of the game installed. It goes to the third disk then pauses while installing yav1.lvl and sits on it for a while. After a moment it pops up with an error message that reads. Component Transer Error Component: Game File Group: Game Files File: E:\GameData\data5.cab Error: Incorrect function I have made sure the cd is fully spinned down before I hit next from disk to disk and this is about the fourth time trying ot install. I have also made sure only this is running nothing else. My computer also is well within all the requirements. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishlore Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I have the exact same problem you have explained. Well within required specs. Every other game I've ever installed has worked including Doom 3. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombiehobo Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Tried to install again and this time I got a slightly different error. Component Transfer Error Component: Game File Group: Game Files File: E:\GameData\data5.cab Error: Data Error(cyclic redundancy check) So the type of error is different but not the fact that it just makes me exit out. Every other game has worked fine for me as well, this is really the first oen ot give me trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool2024 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 You might have a bad disk, try installing on another computer and see if it works. If so call Lucas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishlore Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Here is my exact error, and what it says in the trouble.rtf file. Component transfer error Component: Game FileGroup: GameFiles File: D:\GameData\data5.cab Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check). In the troubleshooting section. trouble.rtf this is what it says. "Component Transfer Error You may see a Component Transfer Error message when installing the game. If this occurs, you may be attempting to install to a location such as your CD-ROM drive." LOL, installing to my cd-rom drive is the last thing i'm doing. Wonderful help there. Apparently nobody bothers coming here. Figures. I'm running Win2000. I have the latest DirectX installed, and re-installed from the SWB install disc 1. I have equal to or greater than all the recommended specs. What OS's are you guys running? This might be a Win 2000 issue. Also I'm logged in as Adminstrator. Due to the archaic statement in the trouble file, I'm copying all three discs to my hard drive and I'm going to install from my hard drive. In hopes of taking my cd-rom drive out of the equation. It probably won't work, but I'll let you know if it does. I'm up for anything at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFoxRunner Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yeah, I had the same problem. The first time I tried to install it, I was given that error! The only reason I think I had it come up is b/c I was closing down programs, etc when it was finishing up. I tried re-installing it again, & there was no problem. Best of luck to ya.

Manchild1318 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I have been looking around and alot more peolpe are having this probem too. It seens what i can get out of it is that the sent out a ton of bad #3 cds out and we need to get new ones. IT sucks but its better then finding out that we are no way of getting the thing fixed but just hope you don't pick up another one that is bad too.
