When I desire to run "patch.exe", the error demonstrates me, with the intention of the file is not compatible by means of Vista 64bit.

The patch has previously been practical, it’s a 16-bit procedure (which would not run on a 64-bit OS) so was ran it previous to compressing and uploading the game. I am the unique compiler of this title, I make available this at a LAN to create things easy to get going. People give the impression of being at you attractive dimly when you endeavor to explain how to do these things, then when somebody did not listen and you encompass to explain the entire in excess of again, extremely stressful. Anyway, if people encompass trouble by means of this, try to maintain the path short, maintain it as close to the root of a drive as you are able to, and by means of the intention of be supposed to stop you encountering tribulations. I imagine the limit is 40 characters or something similar to with the intention of for DOS executables, which I am attractive certain this falls under.

You might be trying to download the patch commencing the Sold Out website and then you have to hit it off the Downloads button in the 'Support Downloads' segment and save it anywhere on your hard drive. This had be worked for me I think this determine to help you related to the above. You might be trying to install the game by utilizing the Windows 7 compatibility mode. Then you have to grasp the shift key and right hit it off on the file to start the installer. You be supposed to observe an alternative regarding compatibility. Subsequent to by means of the intention of, you necessitate to say with the intention of it was running using an earlier version or description of Windows. At the end you have to select Windows XP this might work for you.
