I am on WIn7, purchased a copy of Thief Gold and when I went to install, I got the message "This product cannot be installed on Windows NT due to a DirectX(tm) limitation." I did a search and found a thread that said:

K, Put CD in drive -
Go to Start, then Run, then type d:\setup.exe -lgntforce, where d:\ is your CDrom/DVDrom drive.

Install, run it (to set up the cam.cfg file), it will probably freeze and you'll have no vids.
Close it down.
Extract DDfix to the directory your Thief.exe is in.
Run the ddfixGUI.exe (right click, run as administrator), check the video fix box and choose what resolution you want. (if you have a wide screen/non standard resolution monitor, then just leave it on 800x600 and we'll fix it later). Click apply patch.
Go to the Thief Gold shortcut on your desktop or the THIEF.exe file, right click, go to compatibility, choose XP, service pack2 and run as administrator.

When I ran this, I still got the same message. What a bummer. Anyway, any ideas of what to do? I believe I bought an original version of TG. Want to install so I can start working on a TG mission using newdark.

Thanks

Thanks Nickie. Followed the manual loading process and it did the trick. I had to go through the process twice as it did not work the first time. I am sure I did something stupid the first time.

Thanks again!
