Hello,


When installing an expansion, make a new folder first. Then open the .RAR download of the expansion with WinRAR only ! Inside WinRAR, press Ctrl + A to mark ALL contents inside the .RAR, then re-extract ALL the marked contents, into the empty folder you just created. Exit WinRAR and go to that folder - and re-start the installation there.


If you still get that error, try right-clicking on the autorun.exe file and choose "run as Administrator". 


Good luck for now !

Hey, I'm having this exact same problem with any expansion packs I try to install. What is the .RAR download of the expansion?
Thanks

This is a VERY old topic. Can you please open a NEW thread for your issue(s) ? Thank you. Smile  

P.S. it just becomes too confusing to read and follow threads if too many people post in one and the same thread.
