going on lately should help that out.
What type of installer is it? Is there a demo somewhere (I didn't see one) or did you buy it?
SFAIK it's an install shield variant, a friend gave me the game over Christmas, I installed it yesterday so that I could try some other games out so far everything's choked on the installer or OLE.
I'm testing some of the more complex DirectX 9 functionality at the moment and working on an annoying clipping bug to try and improve directX with everything, but I'll have a look at Pirates again soon.
If anyone's got anything else that they would like me to look at (and there's a demo or you can post me a copy) then send me an email and I'll see what I can do.
[Pirates is very simple and will run with stubbed out textures, at the moment it's running fine with simple world detail and any level of model complexity, pixel shaders turned off and simple shadows I can't see it breaking any time soon]
