Problem installing The Dark Project and a couple of glitches in Deadly Shadows

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, so problems did occur when trying to install Thief Gold and Thief II, however using lgntforce worked and I was able to play the games without any issues. I decided to play The Dark Project as I've only played the Gold edition and just wanted to see what it was like. Of course trying to run the installer resulted in it locking up and the process needing to be killed, so I tried setup -lgntforce like I did with Thief Gold and Thief II, however.. Nothing happens at all. I checked the FAQs here and looked around elsewhere on the internet but I can't find anything about this.

EDIT: First problem has been dealt with. When using setup -lgntforce the setup.exe process appeared in task manager. I left it alone for an hour and a half and it finally installed.

My other Thief related problems are with Deadly Shadows (verision 1.1). My location is not shown on the map at all, and I can't buy most things from shops. I can directly click on health potions and buy as many as I want but for most everything else I have to click a spot on the desk, a bit below the item to get the slider to appear, and even then, I can't slide it at all. I looked these problems up as well and came up empty handed, so any help would be much appreciated.

About TDS: Yes, your location won't be shown on the map. It's like with a real map. I've noticed the selecting glitch in shops as well (make sure by the way that you've turned your loot into cash at the fences') and the scroll bar thing might be related to either your object limit or cash or it's the usual scroll bar glitch which can be avoided by leaving the cursor on the bar and using the mousewheel.

I was completely unaware that there was an object limit, I have quite a bit of arrows, almost 30 water arrows so I guess that explains why I can't buy any of them. Now that I have thoroughly embarrassed myself it's time to get back to the game.

I have the same TDS Stores glitch. Something changed since it wasn't there for the first few years, and it's doing it on another system, as well. Thanks for giving me some ideas that may help me zero in on it, Beleg.
