Railroad Tycoon 3 install hangs at copying "Split Rail.mp3"

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:

  1. Start the installer normally.
  2. Wait for Install Shield to hang on the "Split Rail.mp3" file.
  3. Cancel the installation and wait for the program to exit cleanly.
  4. Find the "Split Rail.mp3" file and remove all write permissions.
  5. 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.
