DVD installation problem

from Sins Forums
I just tried to install Sins from the DVD.  My computer locked up about 3/4's of the way through.  After rebooting, my DVD rom drive won't read the disk.  Its as if the disk isn't there.  Other disks work fine.

I have a similar problem. I put the DVD into the drive and nothing ever comes up. If I click on the DVD drive it freezes and gives me a "not responding" msg. If i close it I have to reboot. Please someone offer a solution

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if you have the reg code that came with the DVD, you can just download the game.
Start11 - Customize the Start Menu and Taskbar in Windows 10/11.

Do you guys have HDDVD/BRD hybrid drives? We have had reports of issues with the DVD in those.

As Brillig notes though, the simple solution to any disc issue is to just register your serial and download the entire game via Stardock Central, if you've got fast enough internet (it's about 900mb to download).

You can also try booting your PC into Safe Mode to see if that does the trick, or copying all the DVD files to your hard drive and installing from there.
