Game will not install

I am unable to install the game. I can unzip the file, but when I click to install the exe file, it just hangs forever and never makes any progress. (The install screen never starts)
I tried redownloading the file in case there was an error there, and I still had the same problem the 2nd time.
I am running Vista if that somehow matters.
Please advise.
Thanks,
James

Never mind. I was it finally installed after I let it think about it over night. If anyone else is having this problem, you might want to just try waiting.

Did you have any kind of security software running in the background? Like virus scanners or a personal firewall? Sounds like this rather common issues with big installer files and security software checking every bit of it. We recommend to turn of virus scanners or personal firewalls before starting the installation process.

Yeah let it wait, I had to for about 20 mins before it "Started". It'll go, just takes a while, grab a beer and watch Tv for about a half hour and come back.

Same issue here with Vista [:@] except it only took about 45 minutes. Just click on the installer and go have lunch. By the time you get back it will be ready. As Vista [:@] problems go, this one is minor [:(]
