Try setting compatibility mode on the installation file. Right click on the install or setup.exe (haven't seen a quake cd in ages so don't know the file layout on it), go to the compatibility tab and set it up to some other os.

files are extlutive only in 32bit mode (Windows)

16bit is DOS...

u should not have eny problewms wit that couse im dont havent eny, if u have probs with instaler then instal it on 32bit os then just run that copy under 64bit os

If only programs would be made for it, i'd still use DOS.

I really think setting the compatibility with standard win xp, or win 98 would solve the problem, when you do that windows loads the program using a different kernel (i think), so it should remove any win 64 exclusive problems associated with the program file.

Then you'll probably want to do what HQ suggested, go to some friends of yours who have a cd recorder, install quake on his hdd with e+ and pr 1.32, zip or rar it, burn on cd and copy on your computer, optionally, install a second operating system on your hdd, providing you have multiple partitions/second disk, and install from it.
