Jane's Fleet Command & 688(I) Hunter/Killer

[Dennis]

Whenever I try to install either of the above mentioned
games in XP I get a message about the program not being a
valid Win32 application. As far as I can tell there are
no updates for either of the two games that will fix this
problem. Is there some way to use the Compatibility
feature in XP to fix this? Thanks.

According to Mike Innella <minn...@cox.rr.com> in his post on November 15,

"OK, I figured out how to make it work. The problem is
that the setup program is not Win XP compatible. You can
get around this by copying the entire CD to your hard
drive. Next overwrite the setup.exe and _setup.dll with
new ones from another game (I used Jane's USAF). Then
run the setup from your hard drive (I did the full
install). Next, make sure your game is patched to at
least version 1.2 (available from the Jane's site).
Finally, go to your registry and find the entry for Fleet
command. Edit the setting for the CD Path to your CD
drive letter since it will be set to wherever you
installed your game from. That's it."

I did the above and it worked great. Could even apply the patches/updates
afterwords.

WEOW!,

very very useful!

in other places i've read that you must install the game in win98 then copy the installed dir and a reg key, that makes teh game work fine!

but that you say is much much more better
