I've tried every which way to resolve this particular error when I attempt to install gears of war PC. I'm pretty much out of ideas. I am running windows 7.

I've seen other people have this error too with other games such as rome total wars: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?t=195447 So I don't think it's just gears PC itself...

But see that's fixed in the latest title update and that's only AFTER you've installed the game that you can't sign into live.

And I've tried many other solutions here:

:/ Are your drivers up to date?

Also, good luck with Gears of War. That game sucks.

I'm pretty sure it's not driver related... it's something much deeper, like conflicting registry errors.

Windows 7.... Hmmm... How is Windows 7 by the way? It isn't "Vista Reloaded" is it?

To me, it's vista the way it shoulda been. And also I followed a link here: http://forums.epicgames.com/showpost.php?p=25282740&postcount=13 It's weird cause the setup.exe is file version 12....

Why would he be honest if he did pirate it? Baiting someone for infractions is pretty soft. I'd just set the date back to 08 whenever you play the game and see if that works. When I had issues with that game that fixed it.

Not a pirated copy (I can take a pic if you want lol), I've only tried installing it once since I got windows 7. I installed it maybe 3 or 4 times when I had windows XP. I think I recall having this install error before in windows XP. I don't recall how I solved it. I bought the disc when it first was released.
