Well I don't think this is the point of the problem but give a try and uninstall this program.
As for the firewall. Check you computer’s programs and he'll find out if you have one.

Hold it I'm a bit of confused.

You say that you can't install the add-on right.Have you instaled the German gothic2 first or are you trying to install it on the English gothic2 game.

Ok, as far as i understood from you now, you have installed the german Gothic 2 game, and already patched it to v 1.30 then (NOTE: if you installed a german Gothic 2, you DON'T need to install any patch, just install the adon over it directly), DURING the addon's install (and absolutely sure not BEFORE/AFTER the file copy process starts/ends) you got that error message.

if THIS is the case, then there are only 2 possibilities:

1) you have a pirated CD, and the installer checks whether if the CD is original or not before/during/after trying to install it... the obvious solution: go buy the addon!

2) you have the original CD, but the installer check doesn't recognize it. most probably is because of a CD-ROM incompatibility (there are some original games which have probs with some specific CD-ROMS types), so the only way would be to try to install it from another CD-ROM (or you can make an image with the Daemon Tools, and try to install it from it). or it can be because you somehow got a damaged CD/damaged it, so go try to change it, or again buy another

CP problems can have a lot of reasons. I also got this message once -on a German G2 + add-on- because I had ZoneAlarm running in the background.

Try to install the add-on on another PC. If it works there itīs something with your PC.

If you have a pirate add-on please tell us that.You see the add-on is copy protected and you can't play it if it's pirate.

As cothyso said check it if it has any scraches or use it on another computer.There you can find out where's the mistake.If the CD has a problem then buy another one if your computer has a problem and the game isn't pirate we'll try to help you.

well, you must do it like this:

1) get WinISO from the net, install it, make a CD image with it (for example an ISO one)

2) install DaemonTools, mount the image made at the point 1) in DT's new created virtual CD drive

3) install it from there

4) patch it (2.6)

4) this time you'll definatelly need the nocd patch for the version 2.6 in order to make it work, the game won't recognize an image even of an original CD as original, therefore that's why you'll need that nocd

Thx for replying, Cothyso.

I installed Daemon tools, then monted the ISO image on the drive, opened it from there, the installation begun. When i clicked the "next" button in german, the virutal cd check thingy upperared, after a while it stopped and the same error appeared.

Itīs not sure your DVD drive is incompatible. Itīs also possible you have soe software installed which the installer doesnīt like. Hard to find out, though. I guess you donīt want to reinstall your windows.

Updating your chipset drivers is worth a try. Most chipset manufacturers release new drivers frequently.

Or change your DVD drive with a friend's one.If this isn't the problem then you post here again...

If the things that Gorath adn i said don't work I'll be running out of ideas.
