Gears of War installation problem

[draickin]

Every time I try to install the game I choose more options so that I can install it on a different partition than the default C but whatever I choose it starts installing on C and towards the end of the installation it stops and gives me the following message: Failed to load DLL: Firewall Install Helper Setup will now terminate. Why can't I install it on a different partition?

Search for "FirewallInstallerHelper.dll" on the gow dvd you should only get one hit. Click and drag that file to your System 32 folder in Windows


open regedit and goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows/current version

you'll see a registry key called ProgramFilesDir change it to the drive letter you want.

After that i could install gow on partition f:
