Silent Hunter 1 and XP

[killerzone22]

hello, I am now faced with a new problem with an old game. Silent hunter 1

In the past, I have been able to follow this guide http://www.subsowespac.org/sh_xp/silent_hunterxp.shtml

correctly and without much issues. I been able to play SH1 without the need for dosbox and all in all, been able to have fun with it. But now, my dad accidentally deleted the game and i had to reinstall the whole game on my dad's old XP. Now, the issue I am facing with now is everytime i go to try and install it by getting past the system check stuff, the installation just closes on itself. I don't touch anything and the installation just closes. If i do it in fullscreen, the installation doesn't start up.

I do D:
then install and it closes.

If I do it in windowed mode D: then install d: , it comes to the how big you want to install it, I choose maximum install but after that, it just closes on itself by the time it reaches the hard drive part. I tried the other choices and the same issue. I don't understand why it doesn't want to work now. Like i said, in the past, the installation work just fine and all and i could run the game without any problems. I don't understand why it decides to just not work now. I have followed the guide to step 2 and then i can't proceed from there unless the installation can just stop closing itself.

I rather not resort to dosbox since I can't install it properly on my windows 7 because it refuses to find my HDD for some reason. If anyone knows why the installation closes on itself or if anyone can provide a bypass for this or solution, I would be greatly appreciated.
