Windows 7 / TFX
I recently bought the CD version of this game off eBay. I'm using a Dell computer running Windows 7, so I figured i'd be okay trying to run this game on it. But on opening the command prompt and trying to install it in DOS like it tells me to, I get an alert box titled "Unsupported 16-bit Application", with the following text:
'The program or feature "\??\D:\INSTALL.EXE cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.' DOS goes on to say that the version of D:\INSTALL.EXE isn't compatible with the version of Windows that I'm running, and to check my computer's system info to see if I need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then to contact the software publisher. I tried downloading a 64-bit patch off the Microsoft website, but it says it isn't compatible. What do I do now? |

You are going to have to try it in DosBox. The command prompt is not actually a version of DOS.

Guest Guest -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can someone please explain (in Idiot-Speak) how to make this game work in DOS Box. I've no idea what I need to type. Yes, I read the DOS Box Read-me. No, it didn't help. } First mount the drive you want to run in dosbox - [type] mount c c:\xxx [Enter] (where xxx is the location you wish to eithor run or install the game on the c drive) [type] mount d d:\ [Enter] (d being your cd drive that the game is in - unless it's an a drive setup -) [type] d: [Enter] [type] install.exe (or) dir [Enter] (dir will show you what the drive has filewise, then find the install.exe or setup.exe) The load screen will ask you to install on either c or d, highlight c in red and hit enter. When finished it will say to run config or push you through the config file - modern systems allow the highest levels easily. Add a joystick and set the sound effects to sb16 and the music to lapc1, this is almost how I remember it sounding on the pre w95 pc, the in sim music sounds off though the interface music is correct. Setup the controller you want - joystick - and remember to save before you quit. Once you exit setup [type] tfx [Enter] That should put an end to the message, and make sure the cd is in the drive - though installed on c it won't work without the cd. |

Patches
Does anyone know how to install the patches for this game? I'm running on DOSBox 0.74 in Windows 8.1. I downloaded it from this website. I can't get past training mission 7.
