Morrin Yeah, indeed. I did reboot after putting it to system32 but it didn't work.. Go and figure. So if anyone is having the same problem, you might want to also try windows\twain_32

Eagle of Fire Understandable. A lot of rebooting was required in the old days. Your Windows system probably didn't recognize that the .dll was added to the directory until it rebooted and checked the available .dll...

With old games, when in doubt then reboot.

Morrin Hey, works now!
Im not sure what I did, just copied the wing32.dll to every possible place (including twain_32) and the next morning when I tried (and expected error) it worked!

Morrin Blast!
I can't seem to find any files to see what the folder could be...
Im having it in c:\civnet folder..

Japo It's enough to have whatever DLL on any single folder included in the %PATH% environment variable, or in the folder you're running the program from.

Look for a .INI ("CIV*.INI" I'd bet) in \Windows\.

Check the folder you're running the game from, if you're using a shortcut.

Morrin I have it on every folder you mention, but no success. Every executable says the same error (I have finnish windows but I try to translate it to you):

c:\civnet\civnet.exe
tried to use the path, but it's not valid

Or something like that...

The Fifth Horseman Windows/system
Windows/system32
Windows/
And in the same directory as the game executable.
I think I had an installer of the stuff somewhere.

CivNet on XP?

Hi, I just played CivNet with my brother with his computer (also winXP), and I thought I'd install it on my comp too after so long break.
I remember there was a trick that you have to install wing32.dll or such to your windows/system folder in order to run it, but doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

And please, Im not here to ask how to buy civ 2,3 or 3 or how to play the game in DOS, so save that.
