The Railroad Tycoon 3 installation program has a bug that can cause it to hang while copying the "Split Rail.mp3" file. The glitch can happen while installing natively or to a Crossover bottle.
The workaround to get Railroad Tycoon III installed in a Crossover Games 7.0 bottle is:
- Start the installer normally.
- Wait for Install Shield to hang on the "Split Rail.mp3" file.
- Cancel the installation and wait for the program to exit cleanly.
- Find the "Split Rail.mp3" file and remove all write permissions.
- Start the installer a second time and it should finish properly.
Step 4 at a terminal prompt is:
$ cd ".cxgames/Railroad Tycoon 3/drive_c/Program Files/Railroad Tycoon 3/Data/Music"
$ chmod a-w "Split Rail.mp3"
You can also do this through your desktop file manager.
