I have the same Problem, cant start the Game with crack and can´t even try to install it. There is always that mentioned error, and on install it mentions the setupinf.dat. Maybe with an ISO and not the pre-unpacked game it can be solved?
Could someone who still got all those Birthday-DLCs reseed them for a while?So Volume 1 to4? Seems i missed those at all for the whole series and it would be a shame to live without them :D
