I managed to import both CDs, though I lack the shortcut or autorun feature. Do I need to purchase another one via Steam, or is there an alternative solution?

this should have come from a DVD package, not from CD.
if this is a PC version of the game, files should be installed to the system from the DVD(s).
there should be an .exe file in this installation folder for launching the game.
you can also check the Start Menu for a game folder.
if not, then the .exe will still be located on the DVD and will need to be run from there.
you can create a shortcut to this file, wherever it exists, and place that shortcut wherever you want.
it's still possible that Windows 11 just doesn't support this old of an installation procedure.
if that is the case, you may need to install into an older OS version.
you can also try right-clicking on the DVD's installation .exe and choosing an older version of Windows "compatibility mode".

Probabilities are very low. Disappointed when Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit II no longer works with Windows 10. Logitech G29 foot pedals also failed to function in that game. Skip OS11. Generally, older games lack durability and encourage purchasing new titles rather than relying on outdated hacks.
