Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Check your processes in Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-Delete) and see if there are any modding tools still running in the background.

If that doesn't work try restarting the computer and installing.
If that doesnt work Try installing with windows running in safe mode.

As others have said: Reboot the machine then try to re-install If you get the error again write it down in detail and post it here. You could have a couple of issues: 1) The file that is being overwritten may belong to the another user and you don't have rights to it, 2) it may be marked as Read-Only or 3) the error may be because the CDROM is scratched and the install program can not read and copy the file from The CD. Without the exact error message we can only guess.
