T-Bruno 0 Posted March 22, 2000 Hello everyone. I just purchased RealFlight Deluxe. It is a remote control aircraft and helo simulator. The company says it's only designed for 95/98 but they state on their web site that they've gotten it to work on certain win2k machines but obviously, it's not supported. So I got it home and tried to install it under win2k pro final. It hits the cd rom for a couple of seconds then nothing. Just stops spinning the cd rom and I'm back to business as usual. No error message or anything, just stops the setup at that point. Tried it on two different win2k machines. Then the NT machine at work. No go. On a win95 laptop it got into the setup but I canceled it once I saw it was working ok. I tried using the utility ap(something) that lets you specify which os it will trick the exe into think it's running under. No go there either. Kept saying the debugger was running. Huh??? So I emailed the developers and they said no win2k or nt due to "bugs" with win2k and directx. If I could at least install the freakin thing then I'd be inclined to listen to them blaming the incompatibility on MS. But it won't even get to the initial language selection dialog box when running setup.exe. So if anyone has gotten this app to work, knows of anyone who has or can think of a workaround to the install problem I'm having, I'll be eternally grateful. If not, gotta install 98 back on the box and negate all the bennies of having a dual celeron box when running this application. Thanks in advance. Tim Share this post Link to post
