I'm a noob with computers and I can't for the life of me manage to install this properly.
So far, I have downloaded an ISO of the game and installed it. I have also downloaded the remastered version of the original game that Meanie has kindly uploaded. Now, this is where the problems begin. I'm not sure how to get the game working from here. If I double click the GPW file in the folder, it says that I need 'directplay' to play it. So I'm guessing this is incorrect. I have downloaded the 'GPW Edit 1_1_0_0'. I clicked on the setup.exe file that's in there. I appear to have installed it, buy now when I double click it, it says "You cannot start application GPWedit from this location as it is already installed in a different location. This is the error message in full... ERROR SUMMARY
Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
* Activation of C:\Users\andy_\Desktop\GPW\gpw edit\App.WindowsForms.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
+ You cannot start application GpwEdit from this location because it is already installed from a different location.
+ You cannot start application GpwEdit from location file:///C:/Users/andy_/Desktop/GPW/gpw%20edit/App.WindowsForms.application it is already installed from location file:///C:/Users/andy_/AppData/Local/Temp/Rar$EXa8716.25593/App.WindowsForms.application. You can start it from location file:///C:/Users/andy_/AppData/Local/Temp/Rar$EXa8716.25593/App.WindowsForms.application or you can uninstall it and reinstall it from location file:///C:/Users/andy_/Desktop/GPW/gpw%20edit/App.WindowsForms.application. If you reinstall the application, be aware that you might lose any customizations that you made to the application.
Any idea where I'm going wrong? I'm sure i've gone horribly wrong somewhere
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I would love to play this game.

I'm on Windows 10, so I thought the graphics may be glitchy watching the qualies and race, but it isn't.
