Well I've checked both those issues, I've gone into the region settings and changed it to English and I've turned off my virus scanner while installing. I've had the language changed for a while now and turning off the virus scan gives no change to the problem, so clearly that's not the problem...Is there anything else it could be? This is really getting frustrating.
Well I got brand new discs and I get the same problem with the wacky symbols in the install and it not really installing everything. So it definitely isn't a scratched disc problem. I'll attach my debug again, maybe it has something useful this time.
I just noticed that a few of the area folders are empty...Is there some other way I could get the files since my install seems to not want to work correctly?
