Whenever I try to install Escape From Monkey Island I get the following Setup Initialization error:

Setup requires _SETUP.DLL and _ISRES.DLL (located in _SETUP.LIB) in order to operate properly. Please ensure that these files are located with SETUP.EXE

The file IS there, and I was able to install the game fine on Windows ME, so any help would be appreciated.

Install two boot ver of XP and Lin on SATA & IDE

Try running setup.exe in Compatibility Mode to install the game.

Something else that may be of notice.. When I run "SET" in the command prompt, the folder it directs me to is one with "Read-Only" Attributes, and when I try to change the attributes they just get reverted, and if I try to do SET TEMP=somethingelse, it just gets reverted as well.

Control Panel->System->Advanced.
Click Environment Variables button.
Change the PATH variable in System variables box.
There should be no need to reboot.

Hmm... I did mean TEMP in that my post..

Create new folder named 'temp' to any of your drives root, for instance: c:\temp

Then change the TEMP (not PATH) variable to it, so it reads:
c:\temp

You can also change the TMP variable.
