ok I have it installed now I just have to change the settings and stuff. Hopefully I can do this without a problem. If anyone needs these files I can use Skype and send them if needed.

Naly, are you using a virtual cd drive to copy the discs? I had a lot of trouble getting mine to mount each new disc, so you need to be sure that disc 2 is actually being mounted, otherwise, it thinks you have disc 1 in the drive, even though you think you have told it to load disc 2.

However many CDs are in your copy, make that amount of virtual drives and load them all simultaneously... then run disc 1.

Titanium had five discs, each has to be loaded then disc 1 must be remounted to finish the installation.

Re-download it. That's likely a corrupted file.

Make sure you're not installing it in c:\program files\ or c:\program files(x86) if you're running Vista or later. Unless you have UAC turned off (and sometimes even if you do) this can cause problems. Also, you may want to try running the install itself in compatibility mode, though it shouldn't be necessary. 95% sure that your problem is related to a corrupted download, which can happen sometimes and is easily fixed by downloading it again.
How come you say not to install it into those folders? I have windows 7 and have it in the x86 folder and haven't had any problems with it yet. But if it really is a problem i would like to know why and fix it.

Installing it to the Program Files folders creates the extra headache of having to set Admin permissions or turn UAC off.

^ yep. And it's much easier to just tell people to install it somewhere else than explain what UAC is.
