I was able to successfully install AvP 2 in a WinXP bottle on the following machine:
Soyo SY-7ISA+ Intel i815 Motherboard
Intel Pentium III 866 MHz Processor
512 MB SDRAM
PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 AGP 8x 256 MB DDR
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 PCI Sound Card (SB0220)
Samsung CD-RW/DVD Drive Model: TS-H492A/RSWN
Dual Boot openSUSE Linux 10.3/Windows XP Pro SP3
CodeWeavers CrossOver Games for Linux Version 7.1.2
I was also able to successfully apply the Version 1.0.9.6 Update. The game must be started by executing the AVP2.exe in the root directory of the CD-ROM rather than the one on the C: (or install) Drive in the game directory.
Other than the fact that there doesn't seem to be any music, I have not seen any anomalies in this game.
Also, I had no problems installing the AvP 2 Primal Hunt Expansion Pack into the same bottle. As with the original game, the only problem seems to be a lack of music. The Expansion must be started by executing the PrimalHunt.exe file in the root directory of the CD-ROM rather than the one in the install directory.
I have not tested multiplayer/network play.
