By downloading a 10+ mbites fix, I managed to get the
game to run. So far, in anything I have tried , to get
an aircraft to launch a missile takes me right out of the
game and back to the desktop. Frustrating as it all
worked well in Win 98! Can You help, or can you tell me
where I can get a free download of 98, or give me a
contact where I can get non gobbledegook answers since
I'm to old to learn all this stuff. In anticipation.
Ps, where might I get a copy of MS dos 6 these days?
Tanks in anticipation.
Me!!!
 
Hi John,

I'll try and assist you if you don't mind a little gobbledegook. ;-)
The following was originally posted by Neil Dela Osa from MS
on March 20th. Feel free to take your time and use the information...

"Jane's Fleet Command install problems were reported during the XP Beta.
Microsoft was unable to fix the problem. I found this information from
UseNet which may help you:

"OK, I figured out how to make it work. The problem is
that the setup program is not Win XP compatible. You can
get around this by copying the entire CD to your hard
drive. Next overwrite the setup.exe and _setup.dll with
new ones from another game (I used Jane's USAF). Then
run the setup from your hard drive (I did the full
install). Next, make sure your game is patched to at
least version 1.2 (available from the Jane's site).
Finally, go to your registry and find the entry for Fleet
command. Edit the setting for the CD Path to your CD
drive letter since it will be set to wherever you
installed your game from. That's it."

I did the above and it worked great. Could even apply the patches/updates
afterwords.
