In order to play on newer Windows versions, you need to install Unofficial Patch 1.5, which is available here: https://www.ee2.eu/patch/#information

However, if I understand correctly you have a problem with the installation? Are you able to install the game, or what do you mean by "nothing happens"? Could you please post screenshots of the last window you're able to see in the installer?

Is EE2 installed on your computer at the moment, or you have problems starting the installer?

Have you tried to click with the right mouse button on this CD, and select "Explore" from the list, to see if it shows any files?

What's so hard to understand?

Title: "trying launch game".
Understood as: Game is installed but there are problems with launching, which are common on Windows 10, and fixed by Unofficial Patch 1.5.

"game wont load", "does not give the option to install anymore".
Could be understood as: Game is installed, won't load and doesn't give an option to reinstall. Word "anymore" could also suggest that the first attempt on the new computer succeed.

"Games acting like its a empty disk? So why cant i plsy it anymore?"
Could be understood as trying to start the already installed game, but getting "No CD" error, which is a common problem on Windows 10 due to removed SafeDisc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SafeDisc
Shortly after the release of Windows 10 in 2015, Microsoft announced that games with SafeDisc DRM would not run on the operating system, citing security concerns over the software due to the way in which it becomes "deeply embedded" in the system. Microsoft stated that supporting SafeDisc could have been a possible loophole for computer viruses to exploit. [4][5] Support for SafeDisc on earlier versions of Windows was withdrawn upon the release of update number 3086255 in 2015.[6]
So don't get "annoyed" when I'm trying to verify / confirm the facts. After all this is not an official game support, so you should be grateful that at least unofficial one exists. Getting direct answers helps to focus on the actual problem, rather than giving general solutions.

Your problem can be solved by downloading the backup installer from here: //Removed//
After it's downloaded, please open file "HOW TO INSTALL.txt" for detailed guide.
Please use your own CD-KEY in the installer.
If you want to use a different language, after installation use: https://www.ee2.eu/download/languagechanger/
When the installation is finished, download and install Unofficial Patch 1.5, from: https://www.ee2.eu/patch/ to be able to play on Windows 10.

You don't need to say anything anymore.

After your boorish messages I've removed the link to the backup installer from my previous post.

Good luck finding a solution somewhere else.

I re-opened the topic, since you're still trying to install it.
I've provided a backup installer link in this post: viewtopic.php?p=25711#p25711 but you continued the discussion with vulgar messages, without reading my whole post...

Anyway, for the last time:
Download the backup installer from here: //removed//
After it's downloaded, please open file "HOW TO INSTALL.txt" for detailed guide.
Please use your own CD-KEY in the installer.
If you want to use a different language, after installation use: https://www.ee2.eu/download/languagechanger/
When the installation is finished, download and install Unofficial Patch 1.5, from: https://www.ee2.eu/patch/ to be able to play on Windows 10.
