I've been trying to install Pharaoh but when the setup window appears after
I click on Install it suddenly dissapears and nothing happens.
I had this game installed before with SP1 but now with SP2 it doesn't work.

Try this:
Goto Start | Settings | Control Panel, then firewall, then turn off firewall
alternatively, if you cannot find Settings in the start menu, then look for
control panel.

right click on my computer, click on properties, look for advanced tab.
Under preformance, click settings, then find the Data Execution Prevention
tab,
If the second option is selected (DEP for all, except.....), then see if the
game installer or executable is in the DEP block list. Default is the first
option is selected (essential windows stuff only).

check ur comp for viruses

if the above dosent work,
First thing would be to try and remove SP2. If the SP2 uninstaller dosent or
does not want to work, then try a sys restore to a point before SP2 (this is
dependent on how long and how much ur system has changed since SP2 install).

Last resort - not recommended (this is what I had to do)
backup ur PC, format, install windows and then SP2, and then all your
programs.

Hi Kunal,

Please ensure that you're using an administrators account when you
install software, as user accounts do not have sufficient permissions.
