Get GTA2 Working in Windows Server 2008
Grand Theft Auto 2 is released in 1999, but I still like to play it via VPN over the internet with friends! Everyone can now download the game for free from http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/. To get the game working in Windows Server 2003/2008, you need apply the following fix.
1. Download GTA2DirectXFix.zip from Win2008Workstation, RapidShare or MegaUpload.
2. Open the .zip, select dmusic(.inf) and dmusic.dll, right click and choose Copy.
3. Open an Explorer Window and browse to C:\Windows\System32 if you are using a x86 version of Windows. If you are using an x64 version, browse to C:\Windows\SysWOW64. Right click at a white spot in the screen and choose Paste.
4. If you are using the x86 edition of Windows, scroll to the file dmusic(.inf), right click the file and choose Install. If you are using the x64 edition, click Run in the Start menu and enter: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\InfDefaultInstall.exe dmusic.inf. Now play GTA2!

This thing is not working on my FIFA 08 , i can’t play , I have Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition and when i try to play fifa it still say .. Error about incompatible DirectX version. help please !!
Admin: I tried this to get GTA2 working on Windows Server 2008 x64 some time ago, but for x64 this fix doesn’t work. So if you are also using the x64 edition you have to find an other solution…

This fix DOES worked with my Windows Server 2008 x64 and I am playing FIFA 2008 on it.
The key is to install the .inf file from a 32 bit application and not from the 64 bit explorer. I did it using total commander which is 32 bit file manager.
