Not sure if this will work or not, but try going to Start> Run> type in COMMAND and hit OKAY. That'll get you to a shell that's compatible with the old Dos command.com and you should be able to install that game.

For WinME there is a workaround to get the access to DOS mode back.

In Win XP there is no DOS at all. If a DOS game does not work correctly under Windows XP (some games play fine, some don't), then you need an emulator, like DOSBox.
