Game wont install
Just picked up the pc version of the game (disc version) but for some reason i cant get it to install. The install menu pops up when the disc is put in but when i hit install it disappears and nothing happens. Is there something wrong with the disc or is it a problem with windows? Im running windows 7

so i managed to get the installation started by going into the disc files and launching the installer manually but when the install is about 95% done it stops, i let it sit for an hour and there was still no progress it just sits there 95% done. Anyone know how to fix this?

Your CD might be scratched or broken. I remember the same thing happened to me when my Tomb Raider Anniversary CD got scratched. It was a pain to launch the menu and the installation always stopped at some point.
Check if there's anything wrong with your CD or if the disk reader is filthy. Edit: I found this solution. It might work for you. Quote:

The disc is mint, there was a fingerprint on it but i cleaned it and it still gets stuck at around 95%. Searched the internet for a solution but all i could find was people with the same problem but no solution. That one you quoted i dont think itll help me, from the looks of it thats for after its been installed.

The install system tries to "update" your DirectX (no matter which version you have), that's why it's probably stuck at 95%. You can copy all the folders and files from the disc, apart from the folder with the DirectX content, in a temporary folder in your hard disc, and try to install the game from there.
