    [​IMG] When I try to install the Throne of Bhaal the game reclaims a data6.cab file that doesn't exist in any CD of the 4 SoA or the 1 of ToB, at least in the original ones.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks in advantage

    There are few possible reasons for that:
    - your SoA installation is corrupted, or
    - your ToB CD is scratched, or
    - you're running the installation on a machine that is not "friendly" with installer, or
    - there are some gremlins living inside your PC ;) :p

    Anyway, try to copy ToB CD on your hard-drive and run the installation from there if it copies successfully. Post what happened!
    If it wasn't successful, please post your PC specs (OS, gr. card, snd. card).

    Geez, you forgot to put OS specs...

    Anyway, try again, but this time disable DMA (find CD-drive properties, it's there).
    If even that doesn't help, you'll have to replace ToB CD.
