    Windows install sheild wizard runs and asks me what i would like to install.
    Presumably on that list should be an option to install the game itself but all that appears is the option to install vice city radio station not the game, i install and such, but I dont have a run picture like when you install other games... any ideas on how to fix this problem?
    If it helps my os is vista home premium.

    Its really frustrating so any help whatsoever will be appreciated.

    The game installs by default, you can either not install radio stations (so they'll stream in off disc-not reccomended) or you can install the stations so the only time your pc will read the disc is while checking its legal. You should just allow radio stations install, then click next...

    Make sure you run the installer as admin, also look in C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\ see if the GTA exe is in there, the game installs and plays fine for me, Windows Vista HP 32 Bit...

    BTW, Vice City installs icons into the start menu in the "Rockstar Games" folder, it also now appears in the vista game explorer for me :)
