I've been trying to install Halo PC on my PC, but every time I try to install it, it gives me an error which reads:

Halo Setup encountered a disk error while writing to the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\maps\bitmaps.map. Make sure your hard disk is not full, and that the file is not in use

I'm sure my Hard disk isn't full, with 50gb spare, and I doubt any other program could know about the file being there in the first place when it's being installed, yet alone find a use for it. I'm also using Vista Home Premium, but I have had it installed before, but have reinstalled Vista about 3 times since then.

It would be much appreciated if I could install the game. again. Much fun.

Any help?

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Is your copy of Halo a hard copy, or a virtual image?

It's a hard copy. I've had the disc since Halo PC came out those many years ago.

Also, I tried installing it on an XP PC, but it gave me the exact same error. I doubt it'd be a disc error, since it doesn't look scratched at all.
