Hey I have this error too! It follows with "FDI servor error"

i got it to work the ol fashion way lol, i tried installing it on another computer and it was successful, so i then just copied the entire folder and pasted it into the program folder on my comp which wouldnt install.   Then i went in the reg and extracted the game binary and then uploaded it onto the other comp.  Then all u do is play the game lol works great!!

Ive also had issues like this and so far every time i do this it works perfect

Ahh, sounds like you need to update your Windows Installer

Vista uses Windows Installer 4.0.   There isn't any redistributable available for that version.  Basically, it just installs with Vista.  v4.5 is in production, but that is besides the point...

I think you guys are having DVD reading issues with your drives.  Can you guys begin listing them please?  You guys might need a firmware update to read the DVD.  You can check your firmware version with Nero CD-DVD Speed.  Update your firmware as needed.

Fix
One or more of the following suggestions might help with this issue:

Reboot the machine and try the installation again.
Clean the CD-ROM. Use a soft cloth to gently clean the disc.
Run the install locally by copying the installation files to your local hard drive.
Using Windows Explorer browse to the location of the installation files. For example, if the installation is on a CD, browse to the CD-ROM drive:


Copy all the contents of the installation location.
Temporarily paste them to a location on your local hard drive. For example, the Desktop.
Run the install file, for example, setup.exe or install.exe.
Install the Windows Installer Engine.

desperate and £28 out of pocket - for the game

£700 on a new pc 3 weeks ago  , spec's with crysis in mind - had a load of trouble with the demo  , but got that playing in the end!

hhheeeeeeeeeeeellllllllppppppppp! :-(

Oki here is where you went wrong when launching the installer from HD dont run the crysis exe that will give you a cd key loader problem. Make sure to copy all the files and directories then run the autorun.exe that will show the installer menu and there you go you should be able to install just fine

I tried almost every suggestion from this thread and one from EA, and finally found a helpful suggestion in the EA forum (from Gurgle93):
http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/crys … 335-a.html

I can't believe it, but the USB idea worked.

This is what I did:
1. copy the DVD to the hard drive
2. put DVD in a different computer and copy offending file (levels3.cab in my case) to a USB drive
3. delete offending file from original computer
4. paste the file from the USB drive to where you deleted it from the original computer
5. launch the autoruncd.exe from the hard drive, put in the CD key, etc.

Thank you very much to Gurgle93!

p.s. I think the root cause had something to do with other software on my computer (like 7-zip), or other running processes interfering with the install, as suggested by ElDude here:

Well, this solution solved my problem, hopefully someone will benefit.
Nothing was working on xp, sp2, fully patched loaded with 4 gig of ram on a Gigabyte S-series motherboard with an 8800gts, with a SATA drive and SATA and IDE DVDs.  I tried all the fixes, all the tricks that I could find, all the patches to installer, etc.  I was at it for weeks, and about to send the game back.  I decided to try one more thing: I loaded vista on a 250 gig IDE and lo and behold, with nothing running but Vista 32bit, Crysis comes up and runs well.  Go figure.

Hope someone can use this to fix their install.
cheers

The EA forum suggests that if you have WinRAR installed, uninstall it because it associates itself with essential .CAB files which Crysis needs to install. If you reinstall WinRAR I suggest that you do not associate it with .CAB files (this can be done when installing or in the preferences menu).

Hey Guys/Girls,

It is not a Crysis issue and I have this problem (ERROR 1335) with several games from Crysis to FSX, including Company of Heroes etc. IT ALL HAPPENED AFTER I HAVE INSTALLED WINDOWS VISTA 32, basically because I upgrade my video card and wanted to use DirectX 10.

I have disabled firewall, antivirus and internet connection, as several people recommended. It have worked out only with FSX, ALL OTHER GAMES continue to show same FU###ng ERROR 1335. I tried copying all  to the hard drive, etc, etc, etc. NOTHING SEEMS to work.

IT NEVER HAPPENED WHEN I WAS USING WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL EDITION.

MY CLUE??? I will install XP once again and lets see....

I am pretty sure windows XP will solve the problem.

If you are using XP already.....try a holy mary, our father or something like that...angels and saints may help to..I AM SO FRUSTRATED...I hope XP solves it!
