Any thoughts? I followed the instructions to the T, in both.

Now I do have Windows 7, could that be the issue?

I have the same issue with Windows Vista x64.

If you're not afraid of doing some work:
Get Windows Virtual PC 7 and install Win98(SE) in it, works also.

It seems I'll have to upgrade to Windows 7 to get advantage of that Windows XP mode. I have also Microsoft Virtual PC 6.0.192 with Windows XP installed. Any point in trying to install the game in that environment?

Why don't you simply try it?
You can't do much harm in VPC isn't it?
I usually advise VPC-W98SE as it has more chance that the game will smoothly with that combination, VPC-XP is much more demanding from your host, how it will run on your PC depends of the hardware .....
Maybe a needless remark; don't forget to install the VMadditions on the guest OS.

Well, it seems I'll have to. I'm just lazy. I thought that maybe someone tried it already. The VMadditions are installed, of course. I just don't understand how to use the virtual machine without them. I have multiple virtual machines installed. All are with Windows XP. My motherboard doesn't support older OSs than XP, so I never even tried '98. I didn't use them for more than a year now. I installed them last year to pose as multiple players in one browser mass multi-player online strategy game. No one even guessed that they all were the same person. I had even multiple Skype accounts for that purpose. Even sneaked one of them into the enemy alliance. That was a lot of fun. But I was bored in the end and no longer play that game now.

The VMadditions are installed, of course.

If something doesn't work after installing them, reinstall the OS on the VM. They messed up a Win98 installation for me once.

OK, thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind. I really doubt that I'll try it until the next weekend.

FYI, just tried to run the game in VPC-XPsp3, no problems.

Also tried in VPC-W98SE, won't work, lots of missing files, error messages, whatever and whatnots. Seems a lot of files from the installer are missing to run the AB version in W98, the game should work in W98 as it's a W95 game.
Maybe I'll try again with the CD one day, if *IF* I can find the CD in that collection of mine ....

There is an ISO of the game in the ISO Cellar available for download...

Hmmmm, Ah well, maybe I should download it, probably won't find my CD in my archives, my archives kinda look as the Augean stables ....

Downloaded ISO:

Indeed, works flawless in VPC-W98SE.

[Edit]
BTW, if you like that game you really should download the full game from the ISO cellar, much better then the rip.

I can't get into the iso cellar for this game. I get the "You aren't logged in, or you don't have permission" box when I follow the link posted in this thread. I can get into the threads for the others and I am logged in, so maybe I don't have permission?

I've tried the normal version and it works - but sometime in the past I had the CD and it just doesn't feel the same without the movies and speech during battles - that Rat guy's war cry was brilliant when I was a lad "Die, Die"
