I want to try that patch that this installer is supposedly packed with but evidently isn't.

I found a no-cd crack for it and I can play the game with the messiah3dfx.exe but only in safe mode which mean no sound. D3D version gives a black screen as usual.

edit:I found the patch at patches scrolls. The setup is broken so how do I extract the files?

I think the game is actually patched, but does not contain the 3DFx executable.

As for the patch, it seems it can't find the game (path issue?), but it's just a container, right-click it and "unzip" it with an appropriate software (7zip for example). Grab the Glide3x executable and put it in the game directory.
Otherwise, you could try this link:

http://www.gamefront.com/files/files/898364/mess1_2.zip

Then launch the game from this file, preferably setting compatibility to 98 + Admin mode (it might help for sound issues). The game will have some difficulty finding the CD though, you will be able to play, but with 3 errors at launch (just click OK), and some in-game (turn CD audio on/off/on in the options in this case). Also, GlideWrapper seems to provide the best performance at the moment, but I can't find a way to keep the aspect ratio. nGlide is a bit tricky, may bug and can have performance issue in its current version.
I've those, it freezes everytime except if I choose a glide3fx.exe and choose safe made but then there's no sound.

That is because of the -s switch in the save shortcut. Delete this and you will be fine with sound.
You can download the patch e.g. here: https://www.gameswelt.de/messiah/patch/messiah,117144

As for the installer, you might have to delete IsUinst.exe under Windows directory for it to work.
