Gold Edition Won't Install - Need "setup.W13" "setup.W28" Files

Just got the "Gold" game it's fresh out of the box, but the "setup.W13" file is corrupted - locks up at 47% - also on the second disk the "setup.W28" won't copy to my harddrive. The files are only 40meg is there any way to get a clean copy of these? Then I could just run the install off the hard drive.

It's possible you've just got a bad disc, in which the simplest thing to do is just register and download the entire game.

1) Get Stardock Central (our download manager, used to get patches or even the entire game should you not have your discs handy to install from).

2) Install it and log in with the same account you made for the forum.

3) Go to the Tools menu in SDC, and choose Register Products.

4) Pick Games on the left in the Register Products window, then find GalCiv2 in the Product pull-down menu. Enter your email address (same as forum account, again) and serial number, then click Register. If you have GC2 Gold, repeat for Dark Avatar (use the same serial).

5) Back at the main screen of SDC, pick Games on the left. You should see GalCiv2 under a Purchased Products heading on the right side. Select it and click the Install button that appears.

6) Click the + next to GalCiv2 and install Dark Avatar and the various modules as well.

That should do the trick. If you encounter an error message while trying to register the serial in (4), please contact [email protected].

This looks workable, kinda a big download for just the missing 80 meg, but I'll trust you that it's the easy way.

Big thanks!
