Hi all, after completing BS 1 and 2, I finally got my hands on the third one. I was ready to install but it keep freezing, is there a possible fix for this?
I'm using a non GOG version in case you're wondering.

OS: Windows XP

When exactly does it freeze ? When you try to install it ?

The version uses a THQ menu to install, as soon as I click install it freezers.

I've attached a photo of install menu.

There should be the actual Setup executable that you can launch and completely bypass using that menu.. Try to look for "SETUP.EXE" or "INSTALL.EXE" and run that.

I did find a setup without using the menu when but still not luck.

=/ I could help if I had access to your PC, but I don't know enough information to figure out the solution as it is, sorry. Though, I'm sure someone should come along to help you figure this out =)

I didn't buy the game, I'm borrowing it off a friend but they seemed to get it working fine on their pc.

It could be a possibility your windows installer needs updating.. What OS do you use? Windows 7, 8, or XP.. Maybe Vista?

Weird. BSIII should install fine under XP

Have you tried the compatibility mode :

Win2000 ( or 95 or NT4) / run in 256 colours / 640x480 / disable visual themes

Game disc damaged? Have you tried to make image of cds/dvd on hdd and run installer from it? Alcohol52% is software you need.
