you will have to start the installation manually. this is done by double clicking the my computer icon. then double clicking the
cd-rom icon in the window that opens. double click on the settup.
exe file to begin the installation.

Answer 1

Help if we knew what version of Windows (?) you are using.

Either way, open 'my computer' or run explorer to browse your CD and double click on 'setup.exe

Using WindowsXP as an example, you can also do this:

Click 'Start' Click 'Run' type in D:\Setup.exe and click OK.

(assumes D: is the CD-Rom with the game in)


Doesn't always work, but if you have compatibility issues with XP you can tell it to run in Windows 95 / 98 mode.

Right click on the setup / run file
Click Properties
Click the Compatibility tab
Tick the 'compatibilty mode' box and set your options.

Answer 2

If you're installing the game, the installation wizard will do it for you, as itself recommends. Just click to load from a cd-rom, and click to approve the file setting and destination folder.

However, to do so manually, go to start, my computer, find disc drive the cd is in, click on icon to open folders, find set up folder, click on that and installation will start from there.

But download? What, from the internet?

You're not silly enough to not even have the cd rom in the first place are you??

Answer 3

sounds right that's how most software is installed
if you can't find it put the CD in the drive the one with the drawer in it.
click the start button look on the right hand side
