I resolved the "Create cursor texture" error. When you install the game, apparently it does not install it completely even though it says it is done. I checked the directory the game was installed in and found that it was only 10MB. I reinstalled the game and it was only 90MB. So I saw where it was temporarily storing the install files and before I continued with the install, I copied the 2.8GB directory to a different location. I cancelled the install and then ran the setup as Administrator from the folder I copied. This installed the game correctly and it runs great! I am running Vista 64-bit home premium, so it will run on Vista.
