Looks like your InstallShield installation is corrupted. Maybe the microsoft article 810608 can help:
Error in Ikernel.exe When You Install Programs By Using InstallShield

Which error message you get? Just the filename?
Well, that's too little information to debug your problem. But the name of the file implies it is a log file. So you should open and read it about any errors occured. Next you can try to delete all files in C:\Docume~1\ODIN\LOCALS~1\Temp (maybe one of the files is write protected) and try to install again.
Well, and give it a try with ZoneAlarm turned off. Those desktop firewalls much to often hamper the installation and usage of software.

Well, one of the files on the cd (D:\Never Winter Nights\data\textures_01.bif) seems to be corrupted.
If you have a backup copy or a second cdrom drive, you should give them a try.
Otherwise this error may be caused by some dirt on the cd, so cleaning the cd may help. (If you never did this before: Take care! Just a little bit of water, no (!) soap, and a dish towel for glasses to rub down. Don't rub clockwise or reverse clockwise but from the center to the border)

I got a back CD and it worked
thanks Raedwulf
SO here is the latest on the game install if I may,
It goes past installation disk two then on to the play disk?
About 90-97% through the play disk, then I get a bad error mission.
Install was halted while copying the Play disk after setup closed down, please go to
D:\NeverWinter Nights clean out any reamining files that were not deleted.
That is it then when I look at the file folder for the game there is almost 2 gigs of stuff then I click 'OK', and the file shrinks to like 900 megs or something and shrinks to like only four or so sub-folders.
The installation is not finished. what is with this game?

Ok thanks for the reply
D:\Neverwinter Nights is the game drive directory.
I went to the folder in that directory and deleted it, I have done this like five times. What could I be doing wrong then? Is the program file for the folder in Bioware or Neverwinter for a main heading directory?

It should not be an issue to install on other drives then C: no, I myself have it on "D:\" in some elaborate folder structure.Patrick wrote:I have three hard drives. The simple fact is I choose the D:\ Drive as the directory drive for this folder? I don't think this should be an issue?
Can you install the game without issues from your disc on another computer?
Insert signature here.
Is it possible to install the game on it? Because I wonder if it might be the discs which are damaged, or perhaps your drive could be the issue).Patrick wrote:Actually i have on my former computer but that one lacks the specks to evenn run the game.
Have you tried to install onto another of your 3 drives just to test?

OK UPDATE to Maximum Queery.
