Installing Halo 2 PC/Vista on Windows 10 & 11

For nostalgia's sake, I wanted to see if it was possible to install Halo 2 PC (or Halo 2 for Windows Vista) on Windows 11. All it took was a little time, a fair amount of trial and error, and some troubleshooting when downloading Games for Windows Live in 2022. If you're looking for some help doing the same for whatever reason (just remember that multiplayer achievements are no longer obtainable), follow this guide.
