Oops, not the install program, I mean it is the program you use to run the game. Install is the installation program... :whistle:

What? The install program? I don't know. I boot it up from DOSBox and then install and run the game from it so I guess so. Maybe another emulator would work better...

That's the thing, I don't know.

Okay, here is how I best remember it.
1.Unpacked files
2.Started install.exe
3.Inserted ist floppy disk with half of the files on it and the install program
4.Installed to the HD.
5.Program started and gave me error messages that kept saying something.xxx was missing.
6.All the files that were asked for were files that were in the unpacked folder so I moved them to the folder with ld2 i n it and then it worked. It went up to the main screen until it froze. The screen was all garbled too.

That running up to the main screen, then freezing... was that under Windows or under DosBox?

Very strange. Let's see if I can find the game. Will try here and see if I can work it out.
