After patching using this file ftp://ftp.bluebyte.com/updates/s3.exe everything worked.
The Windows XP patch indeed makes the game start. (I probably had that one installed a few years ago. This time I didn't find it myself, thanks for the link.)
But this patch doesn't solve everything: Both the Map Editor installer in the Mission CD and the QOTA installer hang with this partial write error when accepting the EULA.
Maybe I'll try to hack some kind of custom install script for those.
