Have you tried run setup.exe in compatibility mode?

 

I have do ask, why you are trying install it to server OS?

Bored server admin?

[DosFreak 2]

Install.ini doesn't really do anything. You'll probably have to download Orca (MSI editor) and edit the games .MSI to remove the requirement.

 

I too play games in 2003 so I have to do this every once in a while.

compatibility mode didn't help, was my first try to get it working

 

just started Orca...

 

found an entry named LaunchCondition

(Not Version9x=400) And (Not VersionNT=400) And (Not VersionNT=502)

 

do you think, its the one i have to change?

what now, how do i make it 2k3 compatible?

 

Help me plz, i' am bored

Done...

just removed the entry, created an iso with the files from CD1 and the modified .msi ...
