Instalation Error

[Vinnie14]

Hi guys and gals. I have a problem

 

 

 

When trying to install one of my old games as i fancied playing it again after a good period of not doing so. (you know how it is :wink: )

 

 

 

I get an error message when i put the disk in the drive.

 

 

 

It says

 

 

 

"The Application or DLL D\MSVBVM60.DLL is not a valid windows image"

 

 

 

D is the disc drive letter.

 

 

 

This never happend when i played it before.

 

 

 

Any ideas as to what could be wrong and how to fix it? :pray:

 

 

 

thanks in advance

 

 

 

Vinnie :thumbsup:

If it's a really old game it may not work on windows XP and higher since it was probably designed for Windows 95-98.

Could be two things - it might be that your MSDN files need to be updated for whatever reason (I had to do this to start some C++ and VB proggies way back in like... 1999)

 

 

 

otherwise, try running the game in compatability mode. Just right click the icon >> properties >> compatability tab >> trial and error.

 

 

 

If that still doesn't work, microsoft has an advanced compatibility tool you can download off their site... but its a pain in the keester and not worth the trouble (especially because it doesn't work more then 80% of the time)
