Warhammer: shadow of the horned rat on vista

I can't get "Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat" to install on my laptop.

The game is for windows 95 and I have tried changing the compatability around but it still doesn't work. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Hi, and welcome to TSF.

Getting 95/98 games to run on anything other than 95/98 is almost impossible. There are pretty much only two steps available - try compatibility mode (rarely works), or download a DOS emulator, such as DOSBox (Google it). I've gotten DOSBox to work for a couple of games, but that's about it. For that very reason, I got myself a very old system with Windows 98, and I play all my old games on that.
