thief 2 XP install problems

[christiankim]

Hello everybody!
(Yes I've read the stickies)

When I try to install thief 2 I get the panel (like I should). I then click on install, get the hourglass mouse-cursor and then the window disappears (Like it should since I'm running XP service pack 2). So I try the whole start-->Run-->d:\setup.exe -lgntforce thing.
And instead I get the same result.

I read somewhere that I should wait, because it sometimes takes a long time to start installing.

Thats fine I guess. The only problem is that I've left my computer on for about 7 hours having setup.exe lying around in my processes.

I've tried changing setup.exe's compatibility on the cd, I've tried doing the same for the panel too.

Please post your possible solutions. I don't know which specs on my computer would effect the install so tell me if you need them.
