Heroes of Might and Magic Complete Edition - can't install

[pooiyx]

I've tried to install Heroes 1 to 4 from the DVDs in the Complete Edition set, but nothing happens when I click on the game that I want to install. The DVDs do autorun, but nothing happens when you try to install the games. Heroes 5 installs normally though.

Did anyone else have the same problem? Thanks.

How about not using the autorun and running the setup on its own?

[pooiyx]

Ya I tried that too, and it results in the same thing (nothing happens).

Did you try opening the task manager and seeing whether the setup process is still running after you click it or of it disappears?

[pooiyx]

There is always a Setup.exe running after I click the game I want to install or if I manually run the individual setups. But it never grows to more than 2k in memory, and it does nothing. It just remains there and I have to close it manually (end process) using the task manager.

What about to copy the content from DVD to HDD, into some folder, apply compatibility mode and try it again?

[pooiyx]

Just tried that, but no change in what happens.

Then you're gonna trying to switch off any 'incompatible' program. Namely antivirus, firewall are all possible culprits.

[GreatEmerald]

Yes, turn off anything like that and make sure you wait long enough. If you need to, just leave the PC on for like 10 minutes.

Don't autorun. Open DVD with right click, find Setup.exe, right click, properties, compability, Run with compability mode XP3 and it should work properly. I have Windows 7 and autorun didn't work either.
