This is bizarre and extremely aggravating:
Every Microsoft game I try to install runs the setup for *Crimson Skies*
instead of the game I'm trying to install. I first encountered this when I
tried to install the Dungeon Siege II demo, but so far I've tried
Freelancer, Age of Mythology, Halo, and Mechwarrior Vengeance, and it's
always the same: run setup off the CD, and no matter what CD it is, the
Crimson Skies installer will run. And (of course) clicking install anyway
to see what happens won't work if the game's not Crimson Skies.
I've reinstalled and uninstalled and reinstalled Crimson Skies, thinking
that it might clean up some dangling files. I've tried running the Windows
Installer Cleanup Utility. I've tried booting into safe mode and nuking my
temp directory. I've tried logging in with other user accounts on my
machine. Nothing works.
I'm running XP Service Pack 2 with all of the latest updates.
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks...
