aye I have seen that before, but as the instructions say,

1. Uninstall any current installation of the game using Add/Remove Programs
2. Reboot
3. Delete any remaining game-related directories and files (save games, log files, etc.)
4. Install Theme Park World <- This is where the problem is
5. Apply the Theme Park World V2.0 patch (link available from the Downloads section) - Please read the FAQ <- This is where the 'fix' is
6. Reboot - you MUST reboot here!
7. Download the required fix file from the Downloads section
8. Continue by following the steps for the installation method chosen.

that's the problem I cant install the game to fix it.

I think a little clarafication of terms is required. are you saying the games themselves won't install OR won't load and play. 2 different animals

If the game itself is MS-DOS, you're out of Luck, with XP
