Need help, can't install Fallout 3
I bought Fallout 3 GOTY a couple days ago, but when I installed it, I got a (-5006) : 0x8000ffff error as soon as the installation started. I tried it in numerous computability modes and running as an administrator, but to no avail. I got desperate and tried installing it on my other computer, which runs Windows 7 home Premium 32-bit, and it worked fine.
Unfortunately, that computer is crap, so I moved the InstallShield folder from that one over to this one, and lo and behold, I get a different error message. Yay, I guess. Anyway, the new one says this:
Error Code: -5004 : 0x80070002
Error Information:

PAPP:Fallout 3

I have no idea what it's on about, and while I have contacted Bethesda tech support, they're currently making me jump through the same hoops every tech support seems to make you jump through , so I was wondering if you fine people might be able to help me out here.
