I have been having problems lately when trying to install older games onto my PC. It is only with 32 bit applications. A few games that will not install are:

  • Drakan: Order Of The Flame
  • TA Kingdoms (Total Annihilation installed fine)
  • Baldur's Gate.

In Baldur's Gate, when I use autorun.exe and choose install, the autorun closes and the computer loads for a second (as it should) then nothing pops up. Ten minutes later still nothing, so I try again, still nothing. So next I use Setup.exe. Still nothing. I run it in every compatibility mode, and as Administrator in every mode, still nothing. Then I open Task Manager, and there are about 80 setup.exe processes running, all of them doing nothing and taking up next to no resources.
