using Windows 7

I tried cleaning it really well and the disk is in great shape. Still won’t install though. Oh well.

When I try to install the game it says:

Freelancer setup needs to modify the file : c:\programfiles(x86)Microsoft Games\freelancer\exe\freelancer.exe which is currently in use by another application

So, I tried run the install file as admin and set the file in the exe folder to admin and both to XP SP3 compatibility, no go. Tried copying all the files to the HD then installing, can’t copy the freela_1.exe file. Tried installing to a different location with no luck. Went through my registry and cleaned out freelancer files, still won’t install.

Any ideas?
