Why does Master of Orion run on my windows xp but Master of Magic does not?

Master of Orion runs perfectly, albeit without sound. Master of magic just shows a black box for one second and then the box disappears. If I run the INSTALL.EXE, it just says the following:

Invalid option: Magic\INSTALL.exe
MicroProse Install Ver 2.00
INSTALL [flags]
-s do NOT Auto-Detect Sound Cards
-b Turn ON Speaker Beeps
-p Do NOT Load Background Art

I do not know much about dos, but does that mean I have to switch the auto detect sound cards off
and speaker beeps off and not load the background art? If I need to say my PC specs or anything just say so, and sorry for not posting useful information

Both games were legally (I own MOM and my brother owns MOO) downloaded at abandonia
