Whenever I try and install Halo 2 onto my Windows 7 computer, and after a while the following message appears:

One of the installation steps failed. Do you want to retry?
redists\vcredist.msi

I've tried google searches, everything mentioned there and to no avail. I really, really need your help guys. Thanks.

Sounds to me like you have a faulty disk, *cough* download it *cough*, and use your (paid-for) DVD key, it will work.

Oh, and DONT use the version of GFWL on the disk. get it here

Why not?

+ if I "download" it, will I still be able to use the exclusive content I got with the disk? It allows me to download those but not the actual game, so will it work?

what "exclusive content"?

The version of GFWL on the halo 2 disk is extremly outated and buggy and fails to update its self.

Get the latest 3.0 GFWL client at the link ive shown you, it minimizes errors.
