I borrowed this game from a friend of mine, and for some reason I can't install it in my Windows 2000 SP4 computer.

I insert the disk and the autorun starts fine. When I click install it starts the installshield wiward that crawls up to 99% in no time, then stay at that point for about 3 minutes. Suddenly the installshield wizard disappear and nothing else happen.
The same happen if I open the setup program directly from the disc instead of through the autorun menu.

The game is intended for Win95/98, so I suppose that's some of the problem.
The game is published by EIDOS Interactive, and developed by Quantic Dream in 1999. There is a rather informative review of it at this page on The Underdogs. (http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=2750).
I've not found any hints on either publishers or developers sites.

Oh, almost forgto mention...
The friend I borrowed it from has a Win98 PC where it works just fine, so he can't help me.

Hi!

Playing the game on XP myself, and think it is a cool game.

I often check with NTCompatible (http://www.ntcompatible.com/) for problems with NT, 2000 and xp gaming...

Found this page (http://www.ntcompatible.com/cdetail8662.html) stating it should be playable under windows 2000, but with mixed experiences it seems, by the two threads on the page, but this thread (http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread21390-1.html) seems to have some tips...

Hope this helps...
