Thief2 + Silent Hunter 1 in Win2kPro
This is a discussion about Thief2 + Silent Hunter 1 in Win2kPro in the Windows Games category; Can anyone tell me, what's going on when I try to install Thief 2 for my Win2Pro. At first, when inserting the CD I receive a message saying something like 'Application or DLL:D\MSVBVM50. DLL is not applicable NT-' blah blah blah.
Can anyone tell me, what's going on when I try to install Thief 2 for my Win2Pro. At first, when inserting the CD I receive a message saying something like 'Application or DLL:D\MSVBVM50.DLL is not applicable NT-'
blah blah blah. After opening the CD and trying to run two setup exes, the InstallShield goes on 100% and after that nothing. The CD spins for a few seconds and then stops. I've read in another forum that it might take up to five minutes until the installation really kicks in, but I waited 15(!)and nothing happens. Weird. 8)
Also, is there a way to run the Silent Hunter 1 in Win2Pro? I'd really like to play it, but in this forums compatibility solutions they simply say 'No dice'.

I think you install Theif 2 like you would SS2:
Click Start
Click Run
Type out "D:/SETUP.EXE -LGNTFORCE" (without the quotes, where D=whatever the letter of the drive is with the Theif 2 CD in it)
Hit enter
Download and install the latest patch

No luck. I think that is what you so with SS and Thief 1. Same thing happend- InstallShield comes up, disk spins for awhile and then nada.
Do you have all the latest updates, compatability fixes and drivers? Theif2 seems to normally work fine as indicated by the game compatibility section.
OP
Yup. Just installed everything ot my new comp past weekend, so the system is up-to-date. Just tried to install again, and now at least I got the Sold-out installer up, without the error message. After that, nothing. Also, the 33Mb patch is already in place.
Also have you tried the game WITHOUT any patches?
OP
Yes, I have Now I get the installer up, with Sold-Out splash screen with Shockwave stuff and all, then the Install Shield kicks-in, reports quickly 99% ready (IS, that is), then back to splash screen, disk spins fow awhile, I wait 15 minutes and then zilch. QFixApp didn't work either . It can't be because of the CD-drive or drivers, since they work with all the other apps.
Really odd. ;(

Hmmm, don't remember if that game uses copy protection or not. Will have to check my list. U sure that the CD is good?
OP
Of all crappiest thing(game related,anyway ) just happened! I tried once again to install, and the same thing otherwise BUT, when I take the disc out the underside of it has like 'melted' spots on it, as it the CD had come to a complete halt while being lasered all the time ! Those spot cannot have been there previously since I got as far as InstallShield starting to run. I don't have a clue what this means, since it has never happeend before- is it really the cd-drive or was it the result of a faulty disk? Help on this would be duly appreciated, since I don't dare to run the cd-drive before this is solved, OK?
