I have seen numerous people with this problem from the past couple years but i haven't been able to find an actual real working solution so if anyone here has had this problem (Click to install game but nothing happens...no screens,icons or anything) and have fixed it for Windows Vista please help me. Before its asked no i do not have a pirated version i have a legit copy i bought back when it came out.

Hello surge2120,
Create a folder on your desktop and copy all the contents of the DVD/CD to that folder, then try and install from the folder using the setup exe.
Hope this helps, good luck and post your results.

I tried this but as i don't have Windows 7 and they work differently it was unsuccessful.
