You have to create a 'S8' directory right under C:\ and copy all files on the CD then you'll be able to run it
If you don't do so the software won't be able to create a user file and then stop running

what version are you running then? As I was trying that exact thing only this morning and it would connect up for about 10 seconds and then disconnect.
