Halo 2 not working

[boe]

Hello,

Anyone try to get Halo2 working? It gets as far as running the light beam over the H in halo when starting and then it crashes.

I used this method and managed to install halo 2 vista on server 2008 and even got it to work online.

1) Insert the Halo 2 DVD

2) Run Startup.exe on the Halo 2 DVD

3) Install the game

4) Install XLiveRedist1.0.6027.msi and vcredist.msi from the \redists dir on the Halo 2 DVD.

5) Copy xinput9_1_0.dll to system32 for the game to work.
