    I have my IWD CD, right beside me. I put it in the drive, and it doesn't autorun. That's okay. I go to Run, and it opens the E: Drive. It's got all the files there, and I double click on AUTORUN.EXE. The opening thingy comes up, with Install, Readme, etc. I click on Install. The computer thinks for a moment, then does nothing!

    I scroll down, maybe some other file will do it. I find and click on IDMain.exe. It says;
    It makes the "error" sound. Then I find and click on Setup.exe. Absolutley nothing happens. It thinks for a moment, but other than that, nothing.

    What am I to do?

    I said in that post that I did. It didn't do anything.

    No idea whay the setup.exe don't run, try the game on another computer just to see if it works there.

    idmain.exe should not start from cd to my knowledge, so that i guess would be "normal".

    That's weird. I tried it again today. It automatically ran when I put it in, and it installed perfectly.. weird. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Ah, nice to see that the old 'restart Windows if it doesn't work'-fix still works.
