Every time i try and install URU the newewst of the Myst
series i get this message, "This version of Directos can
only work in the authoring enviroment.Please replace the
Xtra with the run-time version". Ive allready tried
updating DirextX and video drivers but if anyone knows
whats goin on i could use some help....THX
 
Hi SmokeyJoe,

Sounds like you have DirectOs Xtra by Macromedia installed
and it won't install because of that. Try removing the software
in Add-Remove programs and then reinstall the game. The
runtime version of DirectOs should be installed by URU, or
you can check the URU CD for a DirectOs installation file. :-)

P.S. DirectOs has nothing to do with Microsoft's DirectX.
