Anybody tried installing The Daedalus Encounter in xp?

The autorun gives this error
this application requires windows NT v3.5 or later

if you run the install with the compatibility mode you get this half way through:

Not enough disk space on target drive while attempting to copy files

even if there is plenty of space. I tried a fat32 partition but that didn't help. Any ideas?

http://bochs.sourceforge.net/

its a free (cost wise) IA32 emu. Its learning curve is considerable, but it can emulate a NT4 machine which may solve your problem.

If the daedalus encounter uses InstallShield cabs, there may be another way...

Hm, that's strange. I played it with XP a few days ago on a 3 Ghz with about 40GB free...
