In the earlier days of 32-bit Windows, many 32-bit programs would come with 16-bit installers (especially InstallShield) or at least having an initial 16-bit stage one possible reason for this was to display a proper explanation message when the user attempted to install the program in Windows 3.x. Install ioQuake3 first ( ) and then from the same page, grab the data installer as well. It's less buggy and more efficient than classic Q3 1.32 There is an engine update called ioQuake3. The official 1.32 point release is available from the official ID Software site - Method 2: Using ioQuake3 Remember to apply the 1.32 point release AFTER installing both Q3A and Q3TA. Instead of launching SETUP.EXE, just run DEMO32.EXE and a file open dialog should appear.

Method 1: If you MUST have a classic QIII/Q3TA installation Usually this means a pak0.pak, which is like a zip file with multiple files inside. Quake returns today with an enhanced re-release on Xbox One, Xbox Series XS (via backward compatibility), PC, and with Xbox Game Pass. Download In this step, Quake will download the binary contents of the mod. Mods can be downloaded and later activated. (Windows refuses to run it since 64-bit x86_64 does not support running 16-bit code natively.) However, you can bypass the launcher and run DEMO32.EXE directly, which contains the actual installation program when prompted for a file, give it QIII.DBD. Installing any mods is rather similar, in fact you may have done it via Quake 64, which is a mod delivered in the default settings. According to this Facepunch thread, the Quake III CD comes with a 16-bit "Autorun" launcher.
