Installation problem with Descent 3 and XP: Tablet Edition

Post by ChrisHale »

Hi everyone,
I looked through the other posts and I don't think I've seen anyone with the same problem as me. I just pulled out my North America release Descent3 install disks and wanted to play it on my new computer. The problem I'm having is that the Setup.exe program just hangs and then quits without doing anything. This is really frustrating since I can't even get the program on my machine to patch it. I'm running Windows XP Tablet Edition on a Toshiba M200 Portege. If anyone has any suggestions =) they'd be much appreciated.

Specs for future reference.

Anyways, have you tried burning an image of the D3 CD1 onto your hard drive and mounting it with something like daemon tools and installing that way?

No haven't tried it, but I do have GameDrive and I'll give that a shot. Thanks =)
