Steps to install BioShock

These are the steps that worked for me in order to get BioShock installed on my desktop:

- Whenever any thing wanted have outbound internet traffic, kill it.
- Map the .iso.
- Start installation.
- Before the installation bitched about putting in the disc, go to the install directory, and move the content to another place so that the instalation won't kill it. I installed the file in Q:\BioShock_MyDir . No problem at all.
- click button on installation. Now the installation was abort, but you still keep the file. Put those files back in the installation directory.
- Run vc++ Disc app in your iso.
- Run DirectX dist in your iso.
- Put the paul.dll in windows32 directory
- Put the .reg in there , and run it.
- Put the Bioshock.exe in Q:\BioShock_MyDir\Builds\Release .
- Run BioShock (NO WinXP mode, NO administrator mode)

P.S. I also installed subinacl.msi but I tend to think that it's non issue.
