Perseverence Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I understand this is a rather common problem, and one web page I visited stated that there was a bad batch of CD's sent out for GotYE. When I try and install the DLC the standard way, I get the error: Feature: Default Feature Componet: Plugin File: D:\EN_Fallout_3_DLC.EXE Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. I have done EVERYTHING that I have read on the web for it. 1). Tried to copy and paste (then just dragged) the DLC content off the CD onto the desktop. 2). Went into Safe Mode to try and install. 3). Followed the steps in http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?showtopic=120735. 4). Screwed around in Program Manager. I think (and I'm hardly computer savvy) that it's simply a bad disk. I have been able to install in the past, but this is the first time on Windows 7. I also tried entering the game codes into Steam (no luck) and I can't find a way to install a game through Windows Live that I didn't buy from WIndows Live. Any suggestions?

M48A5 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Install Fallout3 directly onto your hard drive by using the custom installation option. Shut down your computer and restart in safe mod with networking. Install the DLC disk into your disk drive. If it does not auto start, go into the disk program and start the install manually. This should work unless you have a bad disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perseverence Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 I tried, with no luck. I recieved a different error message, something along the lines of "Unable to synch." I'll keep trying Steam and see if they'll let me use my GotYE edition codes to get new DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
