Can't install the game, error 1322.A pls help!

[General_Jah]

I just bought the game and when I try to run setup on win XP it gives me this error.

"Error 1322.A path exceeds the length allowed by the system."

What the hell does this mean? Anyone else recieved this error before? If so what did you to get around it?

Thanks

The problem arises on Windows XP. It also can appear on other Windows versions where MS Windows Installer (MSI) has been updated to version 1.5.
A portion of the folder path is invalid.

You will find info about it if you look in the Windows Installer Help file. It's basically saying that you are either trying to install a file to location larger than the maximum allowed length (which is 256 characters I think).

If the error message gives you a clue as to what the file is, try installing it to a location that has about 100 characters and see if the setup works properly.
