    korg; Sorry, I never tried installing Crysis Warhead from within Win2K, I installed it in WinXP x64 and then just lanuched it in Win2K...

    I will probably get some time next week to figure out what causes the installer to fail for you...

    korg; I just ran the install from DVD in Win2K now...
    No problems at all as far as I could see, game installed fine and after I put in my Win2K fixed files from my first post in this thread the game launched just fine...

    I don't have enough posts yet to PM.

    It is the DVD version, I bought it last week (well my wife bought it for a present).

    Are you dual booting? The installer is looking for a windows signature higher than Win 2000 and it may be seeing your other win versions and letting you proceed.

    Yea I'm dual booting but I don't think that's the issue here

    Can you please post the exact error message (preferably a screenshot of it?)

    Would you believe that I have been using Windows since DOS5 and don't know how to take a screenshot!!! lol

    Ok here's how it goes:

    1. Installer starts (tried autorun and from the setup.exe file, no difference)

    2. Asks language. I pick English

    3. Error message comes up " This product cannot be installed on versions of Windows older than Windows XP. Please upgrade your operating system and try again".

    4. When I hit OK (or the x button for that matter) it just stops and goes back to desktop.

    My version of 2000 is fully up to date.

    One way to take a screen is to hit "Print Screen" and then paste it inside of PAINT (CTRL+V).

    Just had to tell you that, IDK about your problem.

    Yeah I googled that after your message but the print screen didn't seem to do anything (or at least give me any indication that something had happened).

    It does not give any indication, after you press Print Screen just go into mspaint and select paste or press Ctrl + V

    What version of Crysis do you have? Are your choices for language only English and Chinese
    Or is it; Czech, English (UK,US), French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish
    Mine is the latter and as I said it works just fine for me... OS is in my case Windows 2000 Advanced Server but I don't think that makes a difference

    My version is the one that has all the different language choices not just English and Chinese. I even tried to load it in French but same result.

    I'm also getting the same inability to install issue on my computer. Right now, I had my brother install it on his XP computer, and I'm copying the installed game to my hard drive right now. If this works, or I need help with getting it to work, I'll post.

    Well, my workaround worked. Install the game on another computer, and copy the folders over. My only problem was that I got an EA window hassling me about my CD key. After putting in my key, it brought back the same window. I hit don't continue, reopened the game, and it game me the same window. Rather than hit "Don't Continue" this time, I control-alt-deleted the thing. I tried to open the game again, and what do you know it started right up.

    Until another workaround is found this will work.

    Hi,

    you can remove version checks with a OS-remove-Script Code v1.1 which is posted at our Win2kgaming forum.Follow the instructions how to install the games behaving like this.

    best regards
