Get error reading blank.vp6 during installation

This drove me crazy.

There were several references to German-speaking websites but, even with
Google's translate feature, I couldn't figure out what the bl**dy problem
was.

Now I know!

The issue was that the install for NFSU2 would get to around 52% and then
complain that it could not find "blank.vp6". This is because I love
NFSUxxxx.xxx and I have two CD drives.
I was installing from CD-drive #2, but meanwhile I had the runtime disk for
NFSU1 in CD-Drive#1. Seems that the setup for NFSU2 checks for a volume
label in ***any*** CD Drive which begins "NFSU...". So, when it got to the
stage that it was looking for Disk#2 of the NFSU#2 set it mistakenly found
the disk from NFSU1.

So, moral of the tale while installing NFSU2 is to make sure the rest of
your CD Drives are empty.

Oh, apart from that, NFSU2 is a fantastic game!

Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed-on!
