You didn't have any other computers that you could have networked to? You could have installed it from their pc to yours through their drive ....assuming that theirs read it of course.
You get a no-cd crack. There is one in my sig, or you can use the AwesomeMod which will also remove the cd necessity.
I only have one PC at home. I tested the disc in my sister's computer and it was ok, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to play in my computer afterwards, if I had just installed manually. No big deal, it was not that expensive and I was so frustrated at the time that I just wanted to put an end to it. :).
And tks for the info on the no-cd thing! :D

The installer screwed my file system, the same folder shows up twice (TS3 installed in folder on the right, with references to everything else that's there but everything else can only be accessed by the "Electronic Arts" on the left). I've tried the stupid microsoft check disk thing and it doesn't correct it. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem a while back (on Vista) and doing a system restore fixed it. I'm not sure why it fixed it, but it did. Registry thing, maybe.

Try renaming them both, then merge the contents.

System Restore only covers system files or extra folders you define, so that wouldn't help in this case.

I get a file could not be found error when trying to rename the duplicate. I did manage to move the TS3 files out of there so I can at least get the game to load now, but now I'm left with a folder that says it's zero bytes but can't be deleted because it's "not empty".
