Ok- managed to track down an old Windows 98 PC of a friend. Copied the 2 Sub Command installation disks to the hard drive (850MB or so) and then copies those files in two seperate folders (disk1, disk2) onto a 1GB flash drive and copied them onto my XP hard disk.

I tried to run the setup.exe file under compatibility 98 and Windows 2000 mode- it started and stopped after some file directory on the C drive was not there or something.

Can anyone advise me how to install it?

Or do I burn the two disk folders onto 2 CDs and try to install through CD/DVD drive?

Other option is to buy the download version of Dangerous Waters. But i loved playing SC.

Please help someone.

Thanks

Sam

I checked the two disks- disk 2 is accessable in Windows XP- but Disk 1 just turns and then does not show up. I have had this problem with a few disks on my laptop. Dont know if this means my CDRW is messed up or just the disk. Gonna try to get disk 1 copies with another burner and see.

Sigh.

Ok. Disk 1 only doesn't seem to work on my laptop- (where I want to install it!!).

When i try to install from hard disk or USB- either it asks me to put in correct CD rom or I get an error saying path is wrong.

Can anyone advise what I can do? I figure last resort is to try to copy disk 1 if it is readable.

Anyone?

aatyas/Sam:

1: Why ask for help in 2 places at once? And let's put every info in the same post. (the other XP thread)

2: Much simpler! If you have the SC cds, why not put those 2 cds into your laptop and install regularly?
