I've seen the threads about 64-bit patches for Civ2: ToT, but they all seem to assume I'm able to install the game in the first place, which I'm not. If I launch setup.exe, the program runs, but nothing happens. No window pops up, nothing at all. The only signs that anything happened at all are that my cursor shows a "wait" icon for one or two seconds, and setup.exe appears in Task Manager, just sitting there until I kill it.
Things I've tried so far, to no avail:
* Changing my CD-ROM drive letter to D:
* Ripping the CD and using Daemon Tools Lite instead of the physical CD
* Closing down all programs using the CPU
The CD doesn't look scratched or smudged, so it seems unlikely that physical damage could be the cause.
I haven't yet tried installing an older version of Windows in a VM and installing it on that. I bet it'll probably work, but I'm trying to avoid doing that. Any ideas?
