Trying to install SPWaW 7.1

[Rompa]

I was going to install SPWaW 7.1 on my second comp that has no internet connection
So I copied the SetupSPWaWv7-1.exe file and all the extra campaigns (from PC 1) I have downloaded from the net to a CD.

But when I try and install on my sec PC it says something about wrong referens (handle) and the install dont start.

I tested it then on the PC I have it installed on and it worked fine (it has win ME and sec PC has win 95)

Anybody have any clue whats going on here??

Try copying the *.exe from the CD to the HD on the second computer and then try running it from the HD.

[Rompa]

No that dident work,it will not let me copy it to the HD

Same fault mess coming, wrong file referens (handle)

I do notice now that the file that is named setupSPWaW7-1.exe only shows as setupSPW.exe on the PC with win 95?

Limitation of long file names on Win 95, copy the *.exe to another CD but before you do so rename it something like setup.exe. I think is where Win 95 is confused the long file name seems to be throwing it off.

[Rompa]

Renamed it to spwaw.exe , but no luck, same thing !

I am downloading the original .zip file now,hoping for the best on that.

It sounds like the *.exe is corrupted, I hope the zip still contains a good copy of it.

[Rompa]

Yes! thats it, the original *.zip file fixed it.

Glad to see you got it fixed.
