Issues fixed

Disc Installer does not work on x64 Operating Systems

When installing the game on a 64-bit OS, the installer is automatically interrupted as soon as it begins to install the game. The only workarounds are to either install the game on a 32-bit OS and copying the installed files to your preferred OS, or by using a fixed installer listed below.
Use a fixed 64-bit compatible installer
  1. Extract the files from the game's DVD to a new folder in your hard drive.
  2. Download this fixed installer.
  3. Copy the fixed installer into the same folder as the extracted DVD files and replace the original installer.
  4. Run the installer and install the game as you normally would.
