Ok sorry for the noob question but i'm new to all this. The Install.exe is always being quarantined as a trojan. Is there any way of installing it without my computer getting a virus?

Just disable or turn off your antivirus. Can you tell me what antivirus you're using because my antivirus (Bitdefender Total Security 2013) didn't detect any virus on the "install.exe"

Thanks for the reply. I'm using COMODO. Is it just detecting it as a virus or will it actually do harm to my computer if I run it?

I didn't have any problem if I run it. The install.exe is important because it helps to install the game easily. You also can install it manually but its hard.

If you didn't have a problem then I guess it should be alright for me haha. Are you able to link me to the torrent file you downloaded yours from? just in case its only the file that I have which is bad, considering I got it from a friend.

I don't download the game from torrents. I used their direct download link that they posted because it is faster for me to download.

Disable your AV software and try using Install.exe then.
Else if it doesnt work, then you can try extracting the first archive to the location u want the game to install and run Unpack.bat file and wait for it to finish.
Dont worry. All files detected as viruses are false positives

comodo is the only antivirus what kills install.exe, you dont need to worry its safe to use.
if you have winrar installed it shouldnt matter wich you try to extract it will do them all anyway.

Yeah I gave up trying to use the exe and am doing it manually. Just to make sure I'm doing this correctly; I extract the first archive to the location I want to install it and then run the unpack batch file as administrator?
