Sorry for the OT post but the posters of RAS seem much more helpfull then
most of usenet.

OK.

1) Tried to install Tiger Wood s 2005 from my cd drive = cyc. redun. check
error. Install aborted and I thought it could be a bad disc.

2) Tried to install from my dvd drive same error on the same file. So I
became more convinced it was a bad disc.

Just before repacking the game and trudging back to exchange it I tried one
more desperate ploy.

3) Dragged the install cd to a dir called "disc 1" and then launched the
install from there. It went flawlessly and then asked for the remaining
cd's to be put in the cd drive from whence the install continued to
completion.

Game runs fine.

Anyone have a clue as to what might cause this type of behaviour ? I'm
stumped.

PS. The error was on a video file being unpacked from a .cab file; if that
info is of any help.
