I installed Windows 7 on my computer. At first, every time I tried to install BDtS, it said that the game can't verify ownership. Now, every time I try, the setup is cancelled after I enter the CD key. Can anyone offer advice?
Can't install BDtS

There's page up and page down about this on the interwebs. I have the same problem. The "validating license file" makes my installer crash. Annoying as **** because it means I can't get to my save games.

Are you running the installer as Admin? I had no issues w/ the BDtS DLC installation on W 7 x64.

My weird story
Last Time i had to do the kill-task trick (kill the task for the key-window) from the Steam-forums. This time it didn't work.
After trying several things i removed the pre-set compatibility mode and... it suddenly worked.
It was set to Windows XP SP3 without my doing, removed that and it finally worked without even starting the installes as admin.

Doesn't cancel now (admin mod with no compatibility set), but it can't verify the ownership, says it needs internet connection.

did you add the firewall-exceptions via game launcher/settings?
your computer is connected to the internet, right?
