Borderlands Retail Hard Copy Installation Error..

[Tragedy]

Yah so cleaver got borderlands from bestbuy and everytime he tries to install he gets this: Error 1722 There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of teh setup did not finish as expected.

I've tried helping him out best i could by suggesting Open cmd.exe (Start -> enter cmd.exe into teh search field) and enter teh following line:

msiexec /i f:\setup.msi /qb which was suggested on gearbox forums.. but then it just gets another error popup of C:/Program files\2k games\gearbox software\borderlands\binaries\borderlands.exe teh application has failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect

has anyone had this error or problem installing this game i guess it was common i got mine via steam so i never had this problem to help him any further we exhausted our brains on this lol any suggestions or help please reply asap thanks a bunch!

i have no idea, the only thing i can recommend is torrenting the game. You can play online without any cracks.
