Runnin Setup.exe for older game

Setup.exe for Panzer General will not start. For win 98 executed in win2000. I tried the mode compatibility win 7 does not work. all of the suggestions.

Hi c1d2bee,

There is no information on the game in the Windows 7 Compatibility Center and you have already tried to run the game in compatibility mode.

I suggest that you contact the provider of the game to learn how do game works under Windows 7.

You can also try using the game in Windows XP mode in Windows 7

Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

Note: Windows XP mode only works in Windows 7Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate editions

I hope this helps!

  • Unable to run setup.exe for pcAnywhere

    I try to install Symantec pcAnywhere on my laptop, but Vista will not run the setup.exe, and I have a problem with the installer when I double click just not the program. Some game forums suggest workaround the command line to disable the InstallShield, but I was wondering if there is an easier way...


    I really need to access remotely to a computer at work, and the documentation suggests that all software is compatible. I already looked in the Symantec knowledge base, but it is a bit complicated and unnecessary.

  • Where is a good place to get the set of patches for old games

    Hello

    I've been looking for a good place to get the fixes for older games pc game.  I know that the best place is the site of publishers, but sometimes they stop making them available (e.g. FEAR).  I looked at a few well known places to get them, but they all require way too much personal information.  I don't feel comfortable giving my life away just to get a pc game patch.  It seems just a little scary to me for them to ask a lot of personal information.

    The games that I need patches for are Doom 3, Quake 4, AFRAID and prey.
    If you know of a good site, please report it.

    Wouldn't be nice if Microsoft made a website for it?  Then I could just connect you and get what I need lol.
    Thank you

    Hello Jebidia,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Yes, I understand your point of wanting to get your money to buy a game.  I recommend you always go to the site of the game manufactures video you must first update.  There are so many third party sites for patches, you want to be sure that it is a trustworthy site.  Please let me know if you have other questions/concerns.

    Of course, you can go to the link below for updates on games made by Microsoft/Windows:

  • Seagate has created the launcher setup.exe usually run in windows 7 Home premium

    I have an office for the expansion of Seagate 2 to external HARD disk, it is recognized by windows 7 Home premium.
    The problem is that the setup.exe for Seagate Launcher will not run.

    Once again you ask about Seagate software in a software MS forum, while you are asking in the wrong place.  If I remember (it has been a while) because this whole program is to install an interface to their public services.  But you really need to ask to Seagate.  You ask Ford on a part of Chevy would you?

    Good luck.

  • Older games causes rundll32.exe to open and 100% CPU usage

    Gameux.dll, Rundll32.exe, the CPU usage and no internet! : D what a pleasure!

    From some (mostly older) games rundll32.exe causes opening with Gameux.dll and is 100% of the CPU usage. I know that it's because she's trying to connect to internet, I did not. What is my alternative to make my games work again! I want to delete game explore all together, but Microsoft didn't really care to add such an option. If I can't find out tomorrow night, I'm going to start in a 2nd OS and delete the dll, and if Win7 stops working, I will be switching back to Windows XP.

    All the solutions!

    I thought it was a pretty well known problem that the Games Explorer does not work in offline mode? He opened Rundll32.exe to run Gameux.dll and idling with 100% use of a nucleus. I think that this problem has been around since the beginning of Windows Vista (or at least since the dawn of Windows 7, not tried this problem under vista).

    WHAT, for anyone reading this in the future (Google or otherwise), I found a Solution. (Not a pretty, I take no responsibility, but it worked twice for me).

    I went into the registry (Regedit.exe)
    CTRL + F (find)
    Looking for the GameUX,
    and whenever she finds one, I deleted it. excluding results within areas such as "{xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx}", no need to remove those. but all other entries GameUX, including directories (not sure of the term suitable for registry entries)

    Anyway, long story short, I fixed it by removing each entry in registry GameUX that I could find. all games work now, even offline! : D

  • Windows XP I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes.

    Running Windows XP, I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes... this process can be completed or ignored?

    "Setup.exe" is a generic term used by many applications.  The short answer is 'yes', it's OK to complete the process, but you really need to know what it is and why it continues to run.

    You probably need to download, install, update and run these free malware scanner (not at the same time):
    MalwareBytes AntiMalware
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    If that is not fix things, and assuming that this process begins when you start the computer, download, install, and run Autoruns.  When Autoruns has finished scanning, click the 'Connection' tab and look for the line that contains "setup.exe".  You can just uncheck the box on the left, or remove the item, which will prevent the routine of starting when Windows starts.

    Preferably, however, you should look at the path containing setup.exe where you should be able to deduce what application is trying to set itself up.  You can then take the appropriate measures, which may be simply delete the folder that contains the file.  Note that if you delete the file, you must ALSO remove the line in Autoruns, otherwise you will get a "file not found" error every time Windows starts.

  • Setup.exe is not opening for Far Cry 3 download torrents

    I had downloaded a game called far cry 3 of torrents.but when I clicked on setup that he opened with a small black window and within the aseconde that it closed. I coudnt read something on it. Why what is happening

    Hello

    There are several reasons why he is doing this.

    Torrents are not the safest way to get the software.

    1. it could be malicious.

    2. it might be an incomplete download.

    3. is it Compatible Windows 7?

    4. don't you right-click on the setup.exe > run as administrator to install it (hoping that all the time that it is not a Virus)

    See you soon.

  • Railroad Tycoon 2 on Windows 7 error - setup.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit Windows versions

    I'm playing the game "Railroad Tycoon 2-Gold edition" on my laptop which is running Windows 7. Whenever I try to install it, he repeats to me - "the program or feature? \G:\_setup\setup.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit Windows versions"... .and there is nothing I can't do to go around that at all.  Normally with my old games I can at least install, then just then change to be compatible and is not, but I can not here. Any help would be great I want to play this game, it's one of my favorites and I hate how I can't play everything simply because computers are better than them... If this is the case, then they should still be able to support games that are 10 + years older than them, you know? I can add more information if needed, thank you.

    You must contact the manufacturer to see if they have a patch for Windows 7. He would come by the manufacturer and not by Microsoft.

  • I have several older games, I like to play, they are Compatible, not compatible.

    Original title:

    Compatible, not compatible.

    Win7 home 64 bit. OEM

    I have several older games, I like to play. Age of Empires II, StarCraft Original, Empire Earth.

    Everything to Win98SE and XP.

    I can get to install, but the games will only play in resolution 800 x 600. If I try to change the resolution, that the game will crash or system will freeze.

    The video is of very poor quality. And games is jerking.

    I tried compatibility mode, but there is no change.

    This PC has two HDs. not connected at the same time. We got Win7. The other has XP.

    The MB, graphics card, Ram is the same used on the two OSs.

    I just unplug a HD and the other.

    So with everything the same. Why the games perfectly preform on the hard drive on XP but not on the HD Win7?

    The two HDs are the same brand and size. Just different OS.

    Only thing I see is XP is 32 bit and Win7 64 bit. So, I guess that 64-bit is not backward compatible.

    Boss thank you very much for your answer.

    I do not 'Dual Boot'. I don't have that one BONE is connected at a time because of the problems of the past with the new OS, creating a sort of chaos with the operating system older. It seems to work a heck of a lot better that way. Neither OS has no memory of the other.

    I seem to have understood "Empire Earth" works pretty well.

    I read another post of similar problem. The answer was to install the game via the open/explore the game CD and clicking on the 'Setup.Exe' instead of using the "Auto install".

    The game is loaded without a problem and works well with the Nvidia card. The graphics are excellent.

    I'll try the same method on other games. I hope that it will work with the same great results.

    Thanks again for your concern and Advisor.
