Contact the publishers for a replacement disc, it is against forum rules to even ask for original game files let alone sending you them!
And dont double post (bump) as that is against forum rules as well!

How numb can you be. Just three posts above, sombody asks for the same (protected) files and got banned. Think one small second what will happen to you . . .

Bye, bye ChappyCap.

sorry GLH for asking for those files, I didn't know that would ban me? However, I did not double post. For the definition of double means to of the same. And if you check my posts they are not the same. I simply forgot to add my contact information.
Man, you guys are very touchy on the banning. It is almost like you are just waiting for someone to mess up. Since this is the case, how about banning the member 007 for calling me numb! It is in the posting rules not to call names or badger other members. (7.No flaming or insulting other board members. The majority of people here are trying to help, if that help is not sufficient then do not attack because of it. Trolls are not).
So I expect my new account to be banned. But I also expect 007's account to be banned also, otherwise this isn't a consistent posting board run by practical moderators, but instead it is a banning party to boost an ego or two!
Thanks for your time.

This forum has been quiet for a while, but I wanted to post what I did to resolve this problem...but first, a short rant.

This only happens because EA sells crapware. I have yet to play an EA title that didn't have some MAJOR, "What the Hell were they thinking" kind of problem. This isn't the first EA game with this kind of problem.

Okay, whoever posted above that the common misconception is that there is a problem with the CDs is correct. I have had problems like this before and have only seen a bad CD once...and it was very obvious the CD was defective.

The PC I was trying to install this on had no Daemon tools, Clone CD, Alcohol 120%, or any drive emulators...brand new out of the box PC with XP Home SP2. Every time I switched CDs, the install would hang on lotrsec2.big, lotrsec3.big, and lotrsec4.big. What I ended up doing is copying those files that the install was hanging on to the installation directory...in my case C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battle for Middle Earth. After I did that, the install ran like a champ (albeit a slow champ).

Hope this helps someone fix this stupid problem.
