I was able to get the installer to complete! Here's how I did it:I downloaded the Mongoose web server ( ) as it's light weight, free, and doesn't require any installation. Just drop it in a folder that will serve as the root of the "web site".Then I created a folder in the root folder called "bioshock". I copied the patch file posted above in there and renamed it to "installer" with no file extension.I then started mongoose on port 80 by running "mongoose-5.0 listening_port 80".The last thing I had to do was update the host file (c:\windows\system32\driver\etc\hosts) to point www.2kgames.com to my local machine. The line to add is "127.0.0.1www.2kgames.com". Just add it to the end of the file.
BIOSHOCK_patch.gz is the file downloaded by the autopatcher during the installation process.I am saving this file in case the server goes down because the BioShock executable is not included on the CD.This doesn't protect against the activation servers going down but at least it removes one of the points of failure.

1. Install game. When it errors out about not being able to contact the website do not cancel the install.2. Go to the directory where bioshock is installed.3. Copy the bioshock folder to another folder4. Cancel the install.5. Extract the contents of bioshock_patch.gz to the bioshock directory6. You now have the same copy of bioshock as if it was installed except without any registry changes that aren't needed anyway.7. Install the Bioshock patch.8. Use a crack.
It may be unnecessary to install bioshock_patch.gz, or installing the v1.1 patch. All you may need to do is install the crack since IIRC that's all that bioshock_patch.gz and the v1.1 patch are is the executable but it's been awhile since I've installed Bioshock since I just use the copy I made to make it offline back when it was originally released. 2ff7e9595c
