Btw this file can be verified against this msdn copy "Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (x86) - DVD (English)" from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/default.aspx by navigating (on the left) Operating Systems > Windows Vista > (scroll down, click Details on..) Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (x86) - DVD (English)
sntkmr9: this is 32 bit edition (please notice the x86 in the description of the file, if it were 64 bit edition this would be x64, for future reference). This torrent does not include 64 bit edition at all ;)
I did the legwork and downloaded the MSDN verified copy of XP w/SP2 (I SHA-1 hashed the iso to be sure), and I cannot get this particular torrent/game to work. After a reformat I installed .Net Framework 2.0, then 8.12 drivers (reformatted and installed .Net Framework 2.0 and CCC & reformatted and installed without .Net Framework 2.0 or CCC ...made no difference) for my ATI video card, then the driver for my Creative sound card, MagicDisc, this game (mounted with MagicDisc), pasted the paul.dll patch file from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E92X0LG6 (overwriting the original), clicked on the game shortcut in the start menu, and all I get is a command prompt window which soon closes. I click the shortcut again, same deal. I tried this http://torrentz.com/782e325a52fcfd3b05a65aa6d26e0fc47bfa56ac and cannot get that torrent to work either.

I click the shortcut again, same deal but without the generated message.
