It works flawless unter XP SP2.
Two things you must be sure of:
You have to be sure that the indexing service is active. Some users deactivate the indexing service for performance reasons. Also be sure that the indexing mode is active for the folder or drive you are installing the game to.
Second: don't turn on NTFS compression for the folder or drive you are installing the game to.
If indexing is turned off or compressen is turned on you will experience that you cannot select any map (empty list) in the skirmish or multiplayer mode (host game)!

Dark Reign:
Skip the DirectX 3 installation if asked and to avoid any problems during setup, I recommend running it in W95 compatibility mode (SLAYERUI.DLL). After finishing the setup process the game should always run in W95 compatibility mode.
Mission Pack Rise of the Shadowhand:
Practically the same as above but on my system the setup crashes at the point of CD-ROM speed and OS detection. This can be avoided by running setup in W95 compatibility mode and after finishing setup, the game too.
