Tomb Raider AOD 'Release.cab' install error

Tried to install Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness earlier, no probs with the first disc, put the second one in error comes up saying 'Release.cab file error' it says to check see if the file is there which it is! Can ayone help? thanks.

may be an error in the actual file, not that the file is missing.

I believe windows or some archive software can open cabs. Else it may be a scratched CD.

Hi i tried a cab opening program, no luck. Thing is i tried to install the game on my Moms much older pc, installed fine even if the specs are that low cant run it! She has windows ME i have XP you think that might have something to do with it?

Hi, I got the same problem with tomb raider the angel of darkness, that it doesn't find the release.cab. file. I checked it, and there wasn't that kind of a file at all... . Can someone please help me, if someone has it would you be so kind to send it to me!

Hi Cyberguy, I've your same problem!
Have you found the "release.cab" file?
If you have it, can you send it to me, please?
thanks

I know this isn't very helpful, but AOD is a terrible game - you're better off not installing it.

Release.cab is in the root of CD2 along with Common.cab. It's around 85M in size.

Have a look at
TBH though, I wouldn't bother with AOD. It is an absolutely awful game. Badly designed and a pig to control. Loads of glitches too. Also once you've sorted your CAB problem you will encounter more. But it's up to you.

Hey i think that i solved the problem

a) I download the game (torrent file -two cd images-) 07/07/06:zap:
b) i burn each cd with nero, and install from cd but the release error appear
c) i dowload the isobuster program, and extract the release.cab file from the image file
d) i copy the cds in the hard disk and use that setup
e) delete the old release.cab and remplace it with the newone from isobuster, complete the instalation

after that i play the game,
the lever 4 don`t work!! only i see in the screen " insert disc 1" i put the cd in the cd rom unit and.... nothing happens so i extract the folder "maps" from the image of the cd 1 and remplacet it in the eidos interactive forder and that all! i ´m playing the level 4.

Sorry for bad english, i live in Costa Rica

For experimental purposes it would be much easier to use a "virtual CD drive" and mount the images on that.
As far as I know, there is no copyright protection except for the old style CD check which is easily circumvented via a virtual drive or a widely available "no CD" crack.

this worked for me. copy & past all files in to foder 1 (disk 1 foder)
