I don't have XP on hand here, but the procedure should work. Try
creating a shortcut to install.exe to somewhere on your hard drive, then
right-click it {the shortcut} and click "prevent MS-DOS programs from
detecting Windows" or any equivelant thereof. Ditto for the actual game
executable.
That option does not exist in XP
