Getting old sierra games running on windows ME

Creed · Post by **Creed** » Sat May 03, 2003 5:23 pm

I am trying to get earthsiege 2 running on windows ME and I have had this problem with ceaser 2. Everytime I run the setup file, the install crashes.

If I try to run the game without running the setup file, the game crashes. It keeps saying setup.exe cause an error in setup.exe

Anyone know of a fix for this problem?

Try rebooting into MS-DOS Mode.

earthsiege 2 is a windows 95 game and ceaser 2 has a windows version that I'd really like to get running.

I thought at first thay maybe I had a corrupted file on my hands....but two games made by the same company.....around the sametime.....running the same sierra install program?

It has to be some common problem

Restarting in ms-dos under ME is VERY complicated....

If it helps, I cant get earthseige 1 to work on my computer.

I can get into MS-DOS easily. 600k memory, mouse, sound blaster and CD-rom support too.

I created a pretty good bootdisk. I should upload it

So, can anyone actually help me before my thread gets hi-jacked?
