I have recently had towipe my hards drive due to the lovely sasser worm. So had to reinstall FS 2004 but have only recently discoved No-CD .exe files, so due to that my disk 4 has some considerable wear and tear on it. Think that is what has corrupted my world.cab file and also a few of the other city .cab files.

Can anyone help me out with some advise? Dont really wanna spend anouther £50 on a new game.

Same exact problem here. I had to reinstall flight sim and it would stop at 96% and ask me to abort, ingnore, or retry. I would retry numerous times and at my luck, nothing happened. Called MS and they want a few dollars for a replacement. Still haven't found a solution. Oh well, Good luck with yours. -Dylan

Hi Rafi, you said you could email the world.cab file out? Seems a number of us have the problem so would be really great!

hey,
I have had the same problem too. There is something wrong on the cd then. Just contact MS support, you'll get an other cd for free!! Or if you can get an other cd from anyone else it's ok too.
