Installing Worms Armageddon

[Vasquez]

I fear this will be another 0 repleis topic, but oh well. I...ahem, aquired a .iso of Worms Armageddon. It comes with two patches to make it work on XP properly. However, to use the patches you have to install the game first. I've tried installing it from a virtual drive using both the setup.exe in the main folder, and the one in the 'install' folder. The first one opens a screen saying 'preparing to install Worms Armageddon' which dissapears after a few moments and nothing else happens. The second .exe does nothing but add an hour glass to my cursor for a moment.

I've tried running the patches but they both give error messages.

The only thing I can think to do is to burn it onto CD, but I don't have a CD burner so I'd have to send it down my LAN to the house's other PC which does, and this is a terribly long and frustrating process (there's soemthing wrong with the network).

So, any ideas?

Oh, and I've tried running everything in Windows 95 compatability mode.

first post...

edit: :D you tried daemon tools probably? what you can try is to extract everything with winrar to your hdd and install it from HDD, takes double the space, but maybe it works

well if you get it installed you could try to run the program compatibility wizard,

cant acctually be anyhelp with this but thought id give you a post anyway

p.s. try worms world party, its better :)

Yes I am using Dtools. I've tried unpacking it with winrar and installing from my HDD but it did exactly the same thing.

Worms World Party...isn't that like a digital board game? I want the side on, 2d, 2player worms madness that I know and love :p

Could just buy it. Probably costs naff all now. The earlier versions might even be abandonware.

[Vasquez]

I could, but won't I have exactly the same problem?

There is a program called DosBox, which might work. It lets you open your old DOS games, Im not sure tho, if it works on win95/98 games
