Well, I downloaded it again and now it installs. I originally tried
installing it from a PC Gamer DVD. I then downloaded it from online (can't
recall where), but same result. I downloaded it from the DS II site and now
it works. The strange thing is, I get the same message, but this time the
"next" button is not grayed out. Not sure why the other 2 failed, but it
works now.
Thanks for checking....
