Hey guys, I just bought Worms Armageddon + Worms 2 ( http://www.coolshop.dk/catalog/product/51216-worms-2-and-worms-armageddon--for-pc ) It uses the SoldOut software to install.. Everytime I get into the SoldOut software and click install, and then click install again in the lower right-hand corner nothing happens, then I wait for about 3-5 minutes, then suddenly a installer appears on 99%.. then when it goes to 100% it just disappears and then I have no idea what happens. I'm using Windows 7 64bit and I have tried running the installers in compitable mode ( Windows 98 ) but that doesn't work either.. Can anyone please help me :(
Thanks.

I'm in a bit of a hurry now, so I'll just leave you with two useful links:
http://worms2d.info/Installing_WA_on_Windows#Sold-Out_Software
http://worms2d.info/Troubleshooting_FAQ#Installing_WA
I believe the trick on some systems was to bypass the SoldOut Software installer and instead run either Install.exe or Setup.exe directly on the CD. Try both if they're there and make sure to then update the game before playing. The first of the above two guides has a link to the latest version.

If you have access to another computer you can install it on there, update it, and copy the entire game folder to the computer you want it on. It will work.

Madewokherd's unofficial WA installer (http://worms2d.info/Automatic_Installer) will install the game from the CD for you, bypassing Team17's installer which comes on the CD and has shown some compatibility issues. Simply insert your CD and run madewokherd's installer.
After doing so, get and install the latest update (as of this post's date) from here: http://worms2d.info/files/WA_update-3.6.31.0_Beta_Installer.exe

I downloaded somekind of installer on this page, It opened up CMD and started installing there. I think its like the program you meant Lex.
Thnx for the answers guys (:
