Becuse you copied the install folder onto your system and installed it from there then the path will lead back to that folder instead of to the disc drive. I remember there was an issue with it and as far as I know the unofficial patch solved it… at least on my old windows xp game rig but it’s been some time since I have fired that sucker up.
