While cleaning up my attic yesterday I found a game which brought back some memories; the soccer game "UEFA Euro 2000". I bought this game in Sweden in 2000 and I'd like to play it again on my PC.

Some of my specs:

4 processors running - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz
2.67 GHz Performance Rated at 7.80 GHz
4.0 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
1.7 GB Video RAM
Vertex Shader 4.0
Pixel Shader 4.0
DirectX driver version 8.15.11.8585
EFGHS 6RKLMZK SCSI CdRom Device
Vista Home premium SP1
1 TB harddisk

After putting the disk into the PC, I tried running Autorun. A windowe popped up, and I chose "Install". Nothing happened. Did it again with "Compatibility Mode" for Windows 98 (the Windows version which was modern back then). The Install program didn't begin.

This game brings back fond memories of my childhood, so I'd like some help to install this old game.
