Hey Bluesman2, from the My Computer window, right click on the Call of Duty 2 disc, and choose Open. Then find the Setup program and click it to install. The auto start program is the problem.

I tried this as well as "Run as Administrator" and still get an "Unregistered Library" error.

When you in-port the Call of Duty CD-ROM, you get the option to either:
A) Open Installer
B) Brows Files

you usually need to open the installer as most of us do, in my case a message appeared saying "This Program has known compatibility issues".
So i searched the internet and i arrived here, & here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ6OkkwUP2o

The man/woman in this YouTube video explains that you need to browse the files (or go to my computer, and "Open" the CD-ROM after a Right-Click), which shows you loads of .ini .inf .mst files and more. You need to double click the "setup.exe" program in this list located on the disk.

You should see the CoD2 loading image in the center of your screen followed by the usual install procedures. The problem is something to do with the AutoRun.exe program Windows 7 uses, being non-compatible with older programs. I suppose its like running a Microsoft dedicated movie file on an apple dedicated movie player.
BY THE WAY i received a few error messages on completion of the installation similar to those coming up with AutoRun, however the game seems to work fine so i just forgot about it. Silly Microsoft.
Watch the video and you will see how easy this is to do.

I hope this helps and works other programs you may have problems installing in the future.

UPDATE:
He says towards the end of the video that single player might not work as it didn't for him.. this might be because his disk was corrupted. However i can play both single player and multi player. If it doesn't work for you, you can always un-install the program in the control panel so don't worry if you find a better solution.
