Loading Setup From CD

If you have difficulty loading setup.exe from the CD - Copy all the icons onto your C: drive in a temporary directory. This may take several minutes.

Run setup.exe and follow the prompts.

I had difficulty loading setup from CD-R and DVD-ROM drives. I hope this workaround helps you.

Thanks to Sysop for the advice!

Thanks for the tip

It's a kind of bad omen when the installer refuses to work, but at least this workaround helped. Now, finally, to play.

Loading Setup from CD

Submitted by OldCDR94 on Wed, 2006-11-01 21:16.

This is a great fix. It looks impossible because the bug makes the CD drive run and locks everything else up-but if you
1. put the cd in
2. double click on windows explorer
3. eject the disk-makes windows explorer open along with two error messages
4. put the disk back in
5. transfer the icons
6. select "setup"

IT WORKS!!

NOW ON TO THE GAME

Not working

Submitted by Galvorte on Sat, 2007-01-20 18:38.

I just got the game today, and was very much looking forward to playing it -- then I ran into this problem. I was quite glad to find this advice after a good bit of searching, and tried it, but it freezes when I try to copy setup. Help?
