I had my old Quake 1.06 cd and really wanted to played it, but when I tried installing it, I would get up to the license agreement, and then the installer would quit saying that I couldn't play it on NT. I new I couldn't run it NT, but I wanted to unpack it and download version 1.09 (WinQuake) so I could play it. All I needed was to install it so I would have the .pak file and whatever else I needed. However, there was no way to upgrade without installing, but i couldn't install because I needed to upgrade. I put it aside a couple months, but later came back. Then I finally realized, what to do! I right-clicked the installer and chose properties, clicked the compatibility tab, ticked "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and selected Windows 95 in the dropdown. Success! I tricked the installer into thinking I was running Windows 95, and I was allowed to install it. The only thing I noticed was that the license agreement was formatted funny, but other than that it went fine. However, I still couldn't run Quake in XP. No problem, I just downloaded WinQuake, and installed it in my Quake directory. It worked! I also downloaded GLQuake and Tenebrae. Now I can play Quake on XP!
