In addition, you will protect yourself from possible interruptions of the procedure, which are associated with interruptions in the Internet channel.

Now install the game by running Autorun.exe or Setup.exe. Before starting the game, make sure that the disk image is mounted to a virtual drive that is automatically created by Daemon Tools Lite.
