double install

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hi there. I have a machine dual booting on XP and Win7.

Am trying to play ToA without having 2 installs: one for Win7 and one for XP

 

My ToA install is installed on my XP install on a shared drive.Works fine. I want to use the same directory/install for Win7

I tried to run the EULaunch.exe but the only option I get is to "install game" splash screen.

I have copied the GC2TwilightArnor file to the My Games folder in Win7.

The Dark Avatar seems to work regardless.

I know that there was a reg fix for Win7, would this work ?

 

Or do I have to do 2 installs ? Or reinstall over my XP ToA folder, repatch and hope nothing is corrupted (don't want to break anything)?

Fire up Impulse and use the Detect Application option in the menu (blue button at top left) to rebuild the registry entries so that the game can recognize itself as installed. Then right click on the game in Impulse and reactivate it, and you should be set.

thanks - that worked fine, just had to change the rez in the prefs.ini file to match my desktop rez and all worked fine
