Error 1305 when installing Call of Duty 4 with Windows Vista

Merry Christmas :-) Trying to install Call of Duty 4 on my Dell PC with
Windows Vista. Getting an ERROR 1305 message. Have tried cleaning/fixing
registry errors, but same message. My son is anxiously waiting for me to fix
it...any ideas? Thanks!

IIRC,I had to install DirectX 9 to run programs like it since my video
card didn't support X10

I'm having the same problem when installing it on Windows XP on my
Dell PC. Error 1305: Unable to locate file scoutsniper_fade.bik and a
few other .bik files. Is this a bug?

I have a DVDROM drive and a DVDRW drive. Could that be the problem or
is it just a faulty disc?

I could exchange it with a new copy but DavidinCT also stated that the
problem persists after getting a new copy. What seems to be the
problem?

Hey guys, im not sure if this be much help but i had that same problem..


when it came up with the error 1305 asking bout bik files and if you
can access them etc, i just explored my cod4 cd and attempted to run the
named biks even though i didnt have the correct program to open them,
after attempting that i clicked retry on the installation and all seemed
to install properly after that... seems like a pointless suggestion it
worked for me.. so thougt hey why not share it with you.

hope it works
liam
