Another game that hates to be installed on WindowsXP. If it defeats you,
install it on another PC then copy the game folder across. You'll also need
to export the following Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Codemasters\Touring Car
NOTE: before installing this key on your new PC, edit it in Notepad to
insert the correct CD_Drive (CD-ROM letter), GameDirectory (where the toca
folder in on the hard drive) and Install_Drive (CD-ROM letter again). Then
you can double-click it to install the values!
The game needs compatibility setting too (to Win95/98 to work correctly.)

Been there, done that. You'll have to dual-boot. I tried to get it
running... eventually I did but video performance was terrible because the
game expects direct video access and it won't get it in a NT environment.
