Ok lain, that's a bad start.   You can run deice in a dos box.  That 
will get things unpacked.  I run XP Pro SP2 and the vanilla installer of 
Quake will NOT run for me either.  I found it very convenient to keep my 
complete Quake folders as installed backed up to a CD (from a Win98SE 
install of the game) and just copy the folders to my C:\Games\  folder. 
It's a DOS game and not registered.  I do run WinQuake 1.0 as it does 
run Quake perfectly in XP Pro SP2 and the plain old quake and Quakeworld 
just crash.  You do have to run the WinQuake installer after getting all 
the Quake files where they go though, as it registers itself.
