Heya guys!

Well, my brother recently bought Sudeki for PC. It runs fine in Windows XP,
however, I cannot run it any more because I am now running Windows Vista! Is
there a workaround for this program incompatibility?

The installer will start up, then try to extract a certain MSI file, and it
will just close without a word. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Did it ask for admin rights? Try doing it manually by right-clicking on the
setup file and running it as an administrator.

Try installing it through the Administrator account. By default the
Administrator account in Vista is not active and thus doesn't show up. To
activate it and have it appear do the following exactly:

1. Go to the 'START' menu

2. At the bottom of the Start menu in the 'START SEACH' box type "Cmd". DO
NOT PRESS "ENTER".

3. Press "CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER"

4. When the upgrade rights textbox appears upgrade except the upgraded
permissions. That will bring up a CMD box.

5 Type "Net User Administrator /active:Yes" and press "ENTER"

6. Log out of your User Account and log in the Administrator Account.

7. Once your installation is completed be sure to deactivate the
Administrator account again by following the same procedure except
substitute "Net User Administrator /active:No"

Hope that helps.

To install Sudeki in Windows Vista just follow these instructions:

1. Extract the CAB-files "Sudeki.cab" and "Sudeki1.cab" to a directory
like "C:\Sudeki-Install".
You can use WinZip or WinRAR to do so.
2. Copy the *.bat into the directory created in step 1.
3. Run "installer.bat" from commandline using a parameter to specify
the target directory.
i.e. installer.bat "C:\Games\Sudeki"
4. The english game is now installed. To make it german, repeat step 3
with "make_german.bat".
5. Delete the directory created in step 1. Unused language files still
reside in it.

Have fun.
