How to install Darklords Rising on Windows 7? 13 years, 10 months ago #186
Hello,
I am not able to install W3 on Win 7. Win 7 tells me that W3 is not compatibel with the computersystem. I don't know what to do. Can you help me please? Thank you very much! Duck |

As I understand it:
If you are running 64 bit MS Windows you can't run 16 bit applications (except by using a virtual machine which itself is running 32 bit MS Windows). Warlords3 is a 32 bit application but the installer is a 16 bit application. So you can't run the W3 installer but you can run the game once it's installed. So options include:
Some versions of Windows7 include a VM. If you don't have a VM already, you can get various free ones (e.g., www.virtualbox.org/). The free ones don't come with 32 bit MS Windows so you will need an old windows CD to install windows into the VM, and pray you can find the registration ID that oh-so-conveniently is not printed on the CD or the CD case but on some separate piece of crap that you have probably lost by now. |
