Hey everyone, i have the actual CD disk for Zeus master of Olympus but it will not install. Once i click install it think for a short moment then does nothing, i've made sure its compatible , run as admin etc will i just have to cough up the few $$ and get the game off the site?

If you want a version that is guaranteed to work, then you should definitely buy it on GOG.

I'd assume it doesn't install because Microsoft intentionally blocks SafeDisc and Securom DRM which was used on most games that were distributed via CDs\DVDs, if I remember correctly.

Don't know if there is any DRM blocking this game on Windows 10 (as MadalinStroe) mentioned, but I would give a try with dgvoodoo, in my case it helped a lot for many older games installed from original disc:

(just copy the content of MS folder from dgvoodoo to the game's folder)

I've also found on GOG this advice for Zeus, so maybe it can be helpful for your version as well? Not sure, but maybe it could be worth to give it a try:

But generally speaking, I would also recommend to purchase GOG version at some point.
