    From the FAQ:

    Q: I can't install SMAC on a PC running Windows XP. Setup.exe hangs when I try to do so. Can I fix this problem?

    A: Try running the XP Program Compatibility Wizard on Setup.exe or run setup.exe in Windows 98/Me Compatability mode. See the following link for instructions on how to do so:



    If that doesn't help, look for other threads in this forum related to installation problems, or post here again. Good luck!

      Ok,
      I have tried all those things, compatability wizard, have the patch, but it does me no good because I can NOT
      install the game. My CD is good.

        i use this, http://www.vmware.com/ to sim win98 and run the game in that,or port it over as only the install needs win98(mine anyway). it might be a tad bit pricy but im sure you can find a good deal somewhere

        personally, smac wouldnt install becasue the install code wasnt compatiable with my winxp and it just didnt run(the installer)
