This does not work on windows 10 even after changing the compatibility settings. probably if you have old systems then it may run.

OK, it's been a full month, but I've finally gotten around to using an older 32-bit system to install it onto, and I've added it to my Web Archive upload as "grand prix rally.zip": https://archive.org/details/GPRally
It didn't run properly for me on Windows 10 straight out of the box, generating graphical alerts, but I also haven't tried to troubleshoot it in any way. It definitely works on XP and older.

Thank you! I tried compatibility modes but I guess only a regular old windows will do it like you said. I'll see if I can make a virtual machine and try it there.

@WESKEREND - that's down to it being a 16-bit InstallShield 5 installer, and the wrappers all require a setup.lid file - these don't always exist in all cases, and in this case my disk must've not had one. I must say that I didn't test this on Windows 10 myself; I just know it has always worked fine on my more era-appropriate Win9x and XP systems.
I can't get the installer to work on Windows 10 even with a correct setup.lid file in the directory though, so I'll probably try and copy over the installed files from one of those systems and get those uploaded as well.

I'm getting an error when trying to run the setup.exe: Setup is unable to find installation languages in GPRally\SETUP.LID file. Error 105.
Windows 10.
