Hi there!
Recently tried to install HL2 from an image I have stored on my computer and ran into this error "hl2.cab file is corrupt" I figured my image of the game was damaged considering winrar popped an error up whilst decompressing it so I thought that I would pop the original back in and try that.
Well the same happened again, same error, same place.
So I figured that maybe the installer didnt like the place I was trying to install it too so I changed it back to the main C:\ drive, normal place program files etc. It still didnt work...
So I sat twiddling my thumbs for a couple of minutes and remembered something I had to do to make Quake 4 work (problem with Office 2007 compatibility) so I went back and changed what I had previously changed there back to what it was and it still didnt work for me which then led me on to actually uninstalling Office 12 and putting the previous version back on. One cold boot later and my game fires up and install first time (image, not dvd!).
So to cut a long story short, HL2 doesnt seem to be compatible with Office 2007.
Or was it just me. Anyone else came across this before?
