Thief2 + Silent Hunter 1 in Win2kPro
Can anyone tell me, what's going on when I try to install Thief 2 for my Win2Pro. At first, when inserting the CD I receive a message saying something like 'Application or DLL:D\MSVBVM50. DLL is not applicable NT-' blah blah blah.

blah blah blah. After opening the CD and trying to run two setup exes, the InstallShield goes on 100% and after that nothing. The CD spins for a few seconds and then stops. I've read in another forum that it might take up to five minutes until the installation really kicks in, but I waited 15(!)and nothing happens. Weird. 8)
Also, is there a way to run the Silent Hunter 1 in Win2Pro? I'd really like to play it, but in this forums compatibility solutions they simply say 'No dice'.

Yes, I have Now I get the installer up, with Sold-Out splash screen with Shockwave stuff and all, then the Install Shield kicks-in, reports quickly 99% ready (IS, that is), then back to splash screen, disk spins fow awhile, I wait 15 minutes and then zilch. QFixApp didn't work either . It can't be because of the CD-drive or drivers, since they work with all the other apps.
Really odd. ;(

Of all crappiest thing(game related,anyway ) just happened! I tried once again to install, and the same thing otherwise BUT, when I take the disc out the underside of it has like 'melted' spots on it, as it the CD had come to a complete halt while being lasered all the time ! Those spot cannot have been there previously since I got as far as InstallShield starting to run. I don't have a clue what this means, since it has never happeend before- is it really the cd-drive or was it the result of a faulty disk? Help on this would be duly appreciated, since I don't dare to run the cd-drive before this is solved, OK?
