Problem: During install, getting error that the game is not compatible with the version of Windows

After you have copied the cd to hard drive, click the install.exe (or setup.exe) with your mouse right button, then select preferences.

Then, just select the option "Use file in compatibility mode" (or something similiar" and select version of Windows, usually Win 95 or 98 is good option.
