Cannot run GP4 on Windows 8

Hi,

I've just acquierd a second-hand GP4 CD-Rom but I can't run it on my PC after installing the game.

The issues are:
- it requires DirectX 8.1 that cannot be installed because dsetup 32 is missing (I tried to download the file but this issue cannot be fixed anyway);
- when downloading/installing DirectX 8.1 on my PC, the problem remains.

Did you have the same issues and can you help me fix them?

Many thanks in advance.

Instread of running with a disk, just download and run this, it works without CD and should allow you to get playing
