TOPIC: Installing Warlords 3 on Windows 10
Installing Warlords 3 on Windows 10 5 years, 11 months ago #3581
I just managed to install Warlords 3: Darklords Rising from my original UK CD (more info about it).
I have attached an archive with all necessary files (InstalShield 3 engine, setup files, modified SETUP.INI file and a small readme file that can help you if something will go wrong). If your CD drive E: then just extract files from the archive and run setup32.exe. If it's not "E:" then open SETUP.INI and replace all instances of "E:" with "YOUR DRIVE LETTER:". I will try doing the same for ROH later. |

Ok. Attachments don't work. Here it is: sombre-sleep.com/warlords/files/warlords..._Win10_Installer.zip
How to do it yourself: 1. Get InstalShield 3 engine from somewhere (setup32.exe) 2. Copy _SETUP.dll _SETUP32.lib, SETUP.INS and SETUP.INI from the CD. 3. Open SETUP.ini and replace all instances of "=$Install_FromRoot$" and "=.." with "=YOUR CD DRIVE LETTER:" |

Nice! Does this just allow installation or actually playing the game? And, if so, might it also work on Win7?
Funny that - I've not been to this site for years and you happen to post this literally minutes before I get here! |

"Darklords Rising" is perfectly playable on Windows 10 with "-wincursor". I just checked it. But you might want to use DxWnd for better experience (DxWnd discussion)
"Reign of Heroes" 1.02 is also perfectly playable with WxWnd and "-wincursor". I just managed to install it from the original CD as well (and patch it too). At this moment both Warlords 3 games are 100% playable on Windows 10. |

Hey...it has been a while. Anyways I am unable to install Warlords 3: Darklords Rising on my Windows 10x64 PC. I get some sort of 'That software is not for this computer/operating system' error. I know it is possible to set up an installer for this game because Chris offers one in his Warlords III bundles (which include original CDs/DVDs of the games) at his "AllVideo" ebay store. The problem with his version is that it does not enable access to the game folders such as "Armies", "Heroes" etc. so you cannot use any editors (such as Molotov's) or even play custom maps or campaigns!
Anyone have any ideas...? |

Did you try M0D3M's link and instructions in post #2?

I looked at that, yes but I am against downloading software that sounds like that crap that a lot of sites attempt to force users to download and install in order to download some file or program. But I may give it an actual go. I was just hoping that someone had a better means.

M0D3M might be able to clarify what kind of download it is or put it somewhere else if he sees this at some point

Well.. I don't force you to download my crap. But I made it myself and it actually works.
It works (the archive that you can find above. It's hosted on my server) for the UK version. In order to make it work for the US version, just change paths in Setup.ini according to the paths on your CD. I have both versions of RoH and the paths to some files are slightly different. |
