I just repaired my computer, and when I want to reïnstall Halo again it
always fails on one of the cabinet-files. Most of the time he fails on
Cab2.CAB but sometimes he passes it without problems, then failing on
Cab3.CAB or Cab4.CAB or....

Setup message says:

Setup failed to extract files from
D:\FilesCab\Cab2.CAB. This is most likely caused
by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or
a corrupted cabinet file. Please restart your machine
and run setup again.

Now I've already tested all of them and the cabinet files themselves are
fine, so nothin corrupted. Now I have 2GB of fixed RAM and while trying to
get setup working I've also created a 2GB page file on my second hard drive.

Until now, everything I tried had no result whatsoever. Anyone have ideas
left?

Hi Syfes,

Are you able to install any other large games on your system now?

Hi Syfes,

To eliminate the CD media; Are you able to install that game on another PC?
