BF4 is Not Installing when i place in Disc 2
I just Got the Physical Copy of BF4..... When i placed in Disc 1 the Autorun.exe appeared so then origin poped up and start downloading the Game so after that it asked to place in Disc 2 ok so when i placed disc 2... I pressed the "okay" in the popup i placed in Disc 2 but i cant find any Autorun.exe... But in Origin it says it is Installing but its not moving -_-... Please Help me.... Maybe i just missed something. I followed the Instructions found in the CD case the manual says that "if the autorun menu doesnt appear go t "run" and type D:\AutoRun.exe ... so i tried that but the only thing that appears is the D:\AutoRun.inf and D:\AutoRun.ico
Hey guys! I was just having the same problem. I temporarily shut down my anti-virus real-time scanning and the firewall. It worked after that. I hope it works for you as well. BTW, I use McAfee.

posted this in another thread moments ago for people having the same problem, then I saw this thread. If disabling your anti virus doesn't work, try this:
hey guys! I also had this problem, and found a fix for it!
what you need to do is create a new, empty folder on your desktop, then copy ALL of the files from all three discs into that one folder (don't need to create any sub folders, ie. disc1 disc2, etc).
When copying the files, do NOT copy and replace any duplicate files when asked to do so. simply select the option "copy the file and keep both files"
When you are done (it takes a long time, especially the first disc, but is still a LOT faster than downloading the game through origin (which, if this doesn't work for you, IS still an option)), look in the folder for the file with the origin logo labeled "autorun" and run it. if you already have origin installed, origin will open and begin the installation process.
Amazingly, despite Origin being a crappy shadow of steam, it will realize you are installing the game from that folder, and the installation process will finish.
Now, if they could just fix the constant crashing issues many of us are having, this game will be fantastic. Untill then, its effectively unplayable for me....
