copy the cd to your HDD

(there's a way to edit the installer and make it install)

Hmmmm I assume this is down to the Windows XP 64 Bit OS you have then?
Hang on I'll try to google it to see if someone else has had problems.

Have you updated the original COD with the latest patch before trying to install UO?

Well an easy work around is to install windows xp pro and have a dual boot system, this way those games or apps that won't install on the 64 bit side will install under the 32 bit side, then just boot back into the 64 bit side then create a short cut to your desk top and thats it, I haven't found a game yet that won't work with Windows XP Pro 64 bit addtion. A few companie's install programs won't install there product because of unreconized os.

Bummer on those install programs, mostly games starting from 11/2004 thru 3/2005.

Games that won't install because of 64 bit OS, but will work with a Dual Boot OS (32Bit & 64Bit)

Doom 3, Lego Star Wars, Call of Duty United Offnesive, a few more too.

Sounds like this might be the only workaround, or try the hack that Berk mentioned.
