- Install the game as you normally would do with any piece of software

Known Errors
Error: Missing Data files
Solution: If you are having problems with missing data, only use one drive with daemon tools, replacing disk 1 midway through the installation, having both disks mounted may cause problems. Please stop the installation, mount disk 1 and restart. than mount disk 2 when asked to do this! (unmount disk 1, mount disk 2)
