It may just be a faulty disc, but it looks like Anno 1503 uses a particularly nasty version of SecuROM copy protection on the second disc.

SecuROM is notorious, but this particular version of SecuROM apparently caused numerous issues from day one.

There is a chance your problem has to do with running 64bit Windows.

Several DRM companies earlier products don't recognise 64bit Windows, and while some of these games may still install, others won't.

- When a game does install, using a noCD fix\hack will allow the game to run on 64bit Windows though. It's only the DRM that

has an issue with 64bit, and the noCD fix circumvents the disc check.

( I believe Anno 1503 AD changed to Safedisk copy protection, which you still need to use a noCD fix with on Win10 thanks to MS,

but it would have a better chance of installing completely from the disc.)

- Some old games that fail to install directly from the disc will install if the files are all copied to a folder on the Desktop and the game

is installed from there, but I doubt this will work with this game due to some of the special 'tricks' SecuROM implemented in this version.

Or.... Buy Anno 1503 AD from Good Old Games. Wait for it to go on sale and you should be able to pick up a copy for under $5- USD

GOG remove pesky DRM and make other tweaks that may be necessary to keep their games running on modern Windows versions.

Yes... Well, maybe, if your game has the sub-title 'Setting Out For a New World", but it will only work if you manage to finish installing the game.

- Use the fix version that corresponds with the version you have patched the game to....

- Trawl some Anno forums. You may find a way to get the game installed and running, or a link to another noCD fix

if the one above does not work.
