In the right sidebar click “Turn Windows features on or off” > Double click Legacy Components > Check Direct Play > Restart Your PC to complete the directly download. Open Run(WinKey + R) > Enter “Control Panel” > click OK> Programs and Features / Uninstall a Program. Make sure DirectPlay is enabled (instructions from Google): It's possible you'll need DirectX 9 in order to play old games, I can't be sure since I installed it long ago anyway because I need the DX9 SDKs. Interestingly enough, these are exactly the same compatibilty settings Future Cop requires to run.

The game seems to run with Windows XP SP2 compatiblity mode, 16-bits reduced color mode and with administrator privileges on my 64-bit Windows 10 machine. So I booted up an ancient Windows machine, installed Exile III and copied the files over to my Windows 10 machine.

As I suspected, the installer won't run, which was also the case for Future Cop. Out of curiosity, I just tried to install Exile III on my Windows 10. (a game from 1998) runs fine on my 64-bit Windows 10, with the right compatibility settings. Hopefully, I'll never have to use it again after I graduate. I have to use VirtualBox for my studies as an engineer. I'd suggest you avoid using VirtualBox whenever possible.
