Hi,
Here's what was posted recently by Neil Dela Osa from Microsoft
for Janes Fleet Command. Hopefully the advice will work for you ...
<snip>
Jane's Fleet Command install problems were reported during the XP Beta.
Microsoft was unable to fix the problem. I found this information from
UseNet which may help you:
"OK, I figured out how to make it work. The problem is
that the setup program is not Win XP compatible. You can
get around this by copying the entire CD to your hard
drive. Next overwrite the setup.exe and _setup.dll with
new ones from another game (I used Jane's USAF). Then
run the setup from your hard drive (I did the full
install). Next, make sure your game is patched to at
least version 1.2 (available from the Jane's site).
Finally, go to your registry and find the entry for Fleet
command. Edit the setting for the CD Path to your CD
drive letter since it will be set to wherever you
installed your game from. That's it."
I did the above and it worked great. Could even apply the patches/updates
afterwords.

if you haven't already figured it out, try the compatability mode. Makes xp act like a previous windows version. Right click on the game icon and click compatability tab.
