Why won't Sonic & Knuckles collection work on my windows 10 computer? [closed]

Solution 1:

Was able to install it by doing the following steps:

1. Insert the CD
2. Right click on your CD Drive and select "Open"
3. Open folder INSTALL
4. Double click SETUP.EXE
5. Install and run the game normally

I had no need to install DirectX 3 as prompted by the game setup since my DirectX version is far more superior (you won't be needing DirectX 3 as well as Windows 10 probably have a superior version pre-installed).

Solution 2:

It CAN work depending on a few things.

One thing to note is that because my laptop doesn't have a CD Drive, I had to create a .iso file from my existing disc (using an older Windows XP Laptop), which I sent to my laptop. Then, I ran the .iso file, which created a new drive on File Explorer, appearing as if I had inserted the disc (appeared as DVD Drive D: SONIC3K). Ran INSTALL.EXE, installed fine, works fine.
