Anyone gotten this to work under virtual pc?

The same thing happens to me when I try to install Red Alert 2 on XP, I get as far as Agreeing with the terms then when I click on Next it freezes. Anyone know a way to dodge the freeze up?

RA2 has never frozen for me but it's possible that it uses a 16bit installer and NTVDM is acting up. If so then when it "freezes", hit ctrl+alt+del to get into task manager, find the NTVDM process and end it. This should allow setup to continue. This has worked for me with other installshield games/programs in the past.
