Installation issues with SinCity Societies and the Fix

[edgie_sa]

Howzit folks

I recently purchased the SimCity Box, and proceeded to install SimCity Societies. However I encountered a rather strange installation error which goes "Cannot find E:***/AutoRun.bat. Please ensure file exists and is not being used by another process", and the installation wizard closes.
I encountered the same error when I tried installing the Destinations expansion pack. Suffice to say I was rather ticked off that had bought a legal copy of a game, yet would not load. :mad:
I have a Dell laptop with Vista installed.

I managed to get around this by copying the Entire SimCity Societies CD/DVD with installation folders to my Hard Drive, and installed it from there. I did the same for the Destinations expansion pack.

I think it might be a scratch on the disc. I had a similar error message coming up when I tried installing it. Apparently I've just wasted my money.
