I've tried everything on line and the guide in the XI Bible and at the end of the installation still get this message "Installshield" 1628: Failed to complete installation. Can anyone help?

This may sound stupid, but did you try installing it with your headset and mic plugged in? Believe it or not that works for some people.

This is not a stupid suggestion LOM, its the only way it works for me. BTW, you don't even need to have a real mike, plug anything in to  the mike  jack and it will work

my problem is it will act like it is installing then at the end when it says finished and I push finished it pops up with error Installshield 1628: Failed to complete installation and it deletes the icon on desk top.

I give up I may need to get a newer copy since mine is the first edition of the game and is 6 disk I'm not sure that matters but I see now they have the game on 1 DVD now may better.
