I have been having problems lately when trying to install older games onto my PC. It is only with 32 bit applications. A few games that will not install are:
- Drakan: Order Of The Flame
- TA Kingdoms (Total Annihilation installed fine)
- Baldur's Gate.
In Baldur's Gate, when I use autorun.exe
and choose install, the autorun
closes and the computer loads for a second (as it should) then nothing pops up. Ten minutes later still nothing, so I try again, still nothing. So next I use Setup.exe
. Still nothing. I run it in every compatibility mode, and as Administrator in every mode, still nothing. Then I open Task Manager, and there are about 80 setup.exe
processes running, all of them doing nothing and taking up next to no resources.
