Did you run the .exe as an administrator?
I managed to install BF1942 without any major problems.

explore the cd drive /disk then right click and select "trouble shoot compatibility '. if this doesn't work then do the same but choose 'admin privileges ' The problem comes from older games saving data to the 'my programs ' folder and windows 7 locking it out. Now games save to my documents or a virtual / sandboxed folder .

In the end, it's all just binary.

Let's Google that shall we?AFAIK The silent hunter series has Ubisofts worse DRM. Making it unplayable on any system. It got more protection than a german u-boat. Why they think it needs it is beyond me. |

Is UAC disabled?
I know you're installing as Admin, but if UAC is still on it might have an effect.
Control Panel>User Accounts>Change User Account Control Settings.

I suspect that DRM would be causing the Silent Hunter problem. DRM solutions tend to have a habit of breaking when a new OS is released.
