Hi all,
I have been playing D3 for a long while now on a 98 machine, got this grand new XP machine and when i double click setup to install nothing happens what so ever as if its rejecting the install file.
Can someone help?

Welcome to the DBB!
Have you tried setting the compatibility on the setup .exe to an earlier version of Windows? If you don't know how, right-click, hit Properties, and look under the Compatibility tab. D3 should normally install fine under XP, but I have heard of your problem in the past.

Dierwolf, turn Autorun on or start Descent3AutoRun.exe on the CD.. Welcome to the DBB.

I was just making what I thought was a valid suggestion; it's worked for me with other programs in the past. Please, get off my back

Descent3 is a 32-bit application so it will run fine on XP. No compatability mode is necessary.
Try cleaning the lens in the drive and then run setup from the run prompt (start -> Run).

Ok its something with the demo setup file, i unpacked the setup file into a directory and ran it from there and it installed fine..
Hopefully the other guy reads this
