Assuming your CD isn't scratched, installing the game manually is very simple:

1) Create a folder where you want to install the game. I install mine at D:/myth2

2) Copy the "tags" folder from the CD into your new folder.

3) Download and install our update. When it asks for a directory, use the folder you created in step 1.

4) (Optional). Do a data integrity check as described here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6618

Now launch the game by running "Myth II.exe". Since it's a manual install there will be no start menu folder. You can create a shortcut to it on your desktop, pin it to your start menu, or manually create a start menu folder for it.
This works on windows 10 - I had the same installation failure with no message. I made an account to say thank you :mrgreen:
