I have a quad-core 64 bit with Windows 7 Ultimate and am trying to install Q3A and it won't install. Running as admin and compatibility mode doesn't work either. Does anyone here know how to install this or can I not do it? I'd really like to play it again. Thank you...

EDIT: I didn't get it to install but I just created a folder on my C: drive and copied the files from the cd and it worked.

Same setup here, never had a problem installing Q3 on Win7 x64. Error msg would maybe help us more help you. If I remember correctly, the autorun of the CD crashed, but you could start the setup.exe manually from it and it installed fine.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I didn't notice it sooner but I got the game to work from just copying the files over from the cd. I never got it to install.

The error message said 'The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your system blah blah blah.
