Help! Can't make TTD(Win) work on XP

Greetings knowledgable people!
I got hold of a RAR compressed TTD, unrarred it (is that the term?
) and can't get the game to work. When I try to run one of the game files (English.exe or whatever) it says that the game isn't installed properly. And when I run either setup executable I get an error saying that the file is in use (duh!) Any advice would be much appreciated...
Thanks!
Chris

yes, it can be difficult at times
i think i had the same problem, a zip file with a rar file in it !!!
so , you un-rar-zip what is in it and then you get a directory with a setup.exe
you run this one next
he asks for the version: english-frech-american,...
this is all you have to do !
If you want another version, just mail me, then we can go over it step by step

How big is your SETUP.EXE file? The version I have is 42,496 bytes, and works fine.

Heh....
I opened regedit and double clicked on each item in TTDX area. Now I get a CD read error! D'oh!

If you get a message saying "Unable to access Transport Tycoon Deluxe CD! $", you forgot to tell TTDPatch to apply the Windows 2000 patches (either run "ttdpatchw -2" or put "win2k on" in the configuration file

Error Reading Registry
Go to Start, Run and Type regedt32 (Not regedit). Find
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FISH Technology Group\Transport Tycoon Deluxe\HDPath and double click it. Then simply click OK. Don't make any changes. Try again

Yes, go and get TTDPatch 1.9 from
http://www.ttdpatch.com/beta/ and run ttdpatchw -2 (or put
win2k on in the ttdpatch.cfg file).
:D
