installing GPL on win XP

[saleen05]

tried installing GPL for the first time since ive gone over to winxP.....but the installer stops saying "cant install MS-Dos applications" or words to that effect

the GPL (with all patches inc) demo off Blackhole Motorsports installs and works fine tho

anyideas?

oh and anyone got a Track-IR headset and tried it for GPL and GTR? where did you get from in the UK?

You will need to install a dos emulator to give XP some form of Dos functionality.

I installed GPL to an XP Home equipped PC. No problems at all. Maybe you have something running blocking it (Antivirus type programs maybe)?
