No Install Option

from Sins Forums

I just got a copy of Sins of a Solar Empire, and following the directions in the game manual, I popped the DVD into my computer and waited.  When information did appear on the screen, it allowed me to read the manual, go to the web, or play the game.  There was no "install" option.

I clicked "play" and nothing happened.  Same with "manual." 

When I tried to access the DVD by double clicking on the DVD drive option under my computer, nothing happened.

Did I get a blank CD?

What kind of DVD drive do you have? We have had reports of issues reading them with HDDVD/BRD hybrid drives.

I don't have my Sins CD handy at the moment, but nearly every game has a setup.exe file on it's CD. Just browse to your CD drive and double click the setup.exe program to install. This should work. Alternatively, I think you can type D:\setup.exe into a command prompt or start menu > run. If your CD drive is different than D, then you'll need to put the right letter in there (mine is normally D but it can also be S).

Go to your DVD drive manufacturer's website and download a firmware update for your drive, this has almost always been the reason I've seen for a disk not reading.
