Today, I installed windows vista 32 and then upgraded it to windows 7 32 into second partition.
Then I set up windows and attempted installing the Winter Storm. On install, I was argued with about compatibility. I accepted MS recomendations: XP compatibility....
During install I was prompted to install .net and directx.
[in the win7 64, there was installed .net3 and 4 and windows balked when installing .net 1.1. In this, the 32 bit win7, there was listed in services, .net2 no 3 or 4. 'Hmmmm,' I thought, 'I wonder......????'
In win 7 32, .net 1.1 installed without a hitch.
And the game is working.
There is a lot to learn, about gameplay, but that is what I wanted to deal with, that is why I bought the software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I could learn to play and then to play it. I don't want to learn any more about MSWindows [I wouldn't have or use MSWindows, ANY flavour of it, excpect I like to play [xxxx - a online game] online. Imagine keeping an OS one HATES, so one can play one game. Oh man was [xxx] ever tough to make work.
Anywho, now I am happily off to risk installing Karkhov.....
Thanks all who wrote back, and too thanks for not being sarcastic or brutal. I hope this tickles someone to do some experimenting and figure out the .net incompatibillty problem is and how to solve it so it doesn't do this anymore, to anyone else.
