Can't install Dune 2000 on WINXP Pro SP2

[Vemarkis]

I'm trying to install Dune 2000 on a computer with Windows XP Professional SP2, using a virtual drive generated by alcohol 120% as my physical drives do not work(DVD drive doesn't read, and CD-RW reads but locks up the computer trying to do so). This is a genuine copy of Dune 2000, i've had a backup file in case i'd loose the cd or my cd drives malfunctioned.

The installer always ends up spitting out an error message with the following to say:"Unable to locate necessary files. Please run SETUP.EXE from the CD-ROM disc".

Compatibility mode is set to WIN95.

I do not have access to a networked computer with a working CD Drive. And i have tried installing by copying the contents of the cd to the hard drive and installing from there, doesn't work either.

I do not have a way to buy a new copy, no store here sells it, and i can't buy it online.

Why not download a free copy dune2k on Nahoo? Go to Dune 2000. Apparently that's what I did and it was worth the 45 minute wait on my 64 or above kbps connection.

Only thing is that there's no videos, FMVs or there's no ingame music in Multiplayer mode.
