Cannot install - No language configured error message

[digitalhelix]

UK PC DVD Game arrived this morning, popped it into my 6 month old alienware laptop and I get the error message 'No Language configured'.

No idea what this means or is causing it. Never seen anything like this before and I am a long time steam user.

 

Windows 7 64bit ultimate.

 

Help appreciated.

Does it give you a code you could possibly use on your steam account itself? That way you circumvent the need for the cd, cause you can just do the dowload option from steam. Does not fix the cd, but it would get you going.

Also I just did some reading on this and noticed that a lot of other games have this problem(not just stick of truth) a solution a lot of people found was using an external drive, or if using an external drive using usb instead of esata.

if that doesnt work, I have one more question, do you know what language your os is set to, it would be under control panel, region and language. Then will say format, also under location were is it listed?

You can copy contents of the disk onto a hdd/sdd and then If you have another steam game on a disk insert it and look at the content and copy a folder called resources into the folder with the game you want to install but cant then click on setup.exe and it might come up with some weird launcher screen but click install and it should install the game you want, i had to do that to get two different games to work and it did the job
