hi, thanks for replying.
I copied all the files off the cd onto a file on the hard drive.
When i click system set up it still gives me the same message that it will not run on msdos and windows system.
Any ideas?
thanks

If you copied everything, then you already installed it. Just launch Unreal.exe.

It should be on the CD AND on your drive as you should have copied it.

It's only about 5 KB (pathetic). When you get it, download 227e and install it.
