• Can't install Baldurs Gate 1

Hello, I'm trying to install BG1, but when I click install it just sits there, never starts the installation. I'm running W7 64-bit, and I know a friend of mine is running the same OS as me and he could install it just fine. Any tips on how to get it running?
Anybody? Please?
Bauldur's Gate is a 16 bit Windows application, which won't work on any 64 bit version of Windows due to the removal of the 16 bit compatibility layer, you won't be able to get the game to run. The only way to get the application to run would be to either install a 32 bit version of Windows XP, or install a virtual machine and run it from within that.
That's a bitch... If I run it through a VM, would it get internet access so I can play co-op? [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] Hm... With a bit of googling I saw that there's lots of people that has it running on w7 64 bit.
Got it to work! Installed after booting in safe mode and it went just fine :dance:
