Hello all,
First off, it was for me a tricky install - 2 CDs and after the first CD installed I couldn't eject that CD and insert Disk2. Solved that by copying disk contents to Desktop and installing from there. After the game installed, I tried to run it but kept getting the error message "No disc inserted." so I don't know if it'll run or not.
Here's all the requested info.

I couldn't help but notice that it's looking for a scsi drive in devicemap. I don't use scsi drives and I wanted to wait for feedback before I did a regedit to fake one.
also, fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} might have to do with my failure to install dotnet. Any opinions?
 
 
Yes, the title is available from GOG, but I really can't see paying another $10 (or euros) for a game I already paid for , plus the expansion pack.
 
 
At this point I am only interested in fixing the Disc not inserted problem.
 
Any assistance or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
 
Best regards,
Paul
