Issues installing
I just purchased the game off 3drealms' website, I am running Windows Ultimate 64 bit, when I try to install it, it gives me an error that will not allow me to continue, I have contacted support, but was told to try to run it in DosBox, upon doing this I got the message "This program cannot be run in dos"
Any suggestions? |

Re: Issues installing
Could you post the ecxact error message and if you are trying the dos version or one of the windows ports?

Re: Issues installing
It says "Error 0 running command INSTALL.EXE
I am trying to install the full registered 1.3 version downloaded from 3drealms' site after I purchased it, so that would be the DOS version. Thanks |

Re: Issues installing
well the dos version should run in dosbox, the error you say in your first post indicates that you run a windows executable in dosbox though. So I'm a bit puzzled.
I only tried the shareware version of rott inside dosbox and that installed fine. |

Re: Issues installing
It is a windows installer, I assume it should just extract that ROTT files to a folder though, so I don't see as to why it has to error out like that.

Re: Issues installing
have you tried using winzip or winrar on the file to extract the files ?

Re: Issues installing
Yeah you need to extract the setup files from the exe you downloaded using winzip or winrar. The extracted files should then be run using DOSBox.
