Help with simtower
 
When ever i try to run setup.exe it says "This game requires Microsoft Windows" I am using windows but it still will not allow me to install it. What do i do?

Specify your OS please.
Windows?
1? 2? 3? WfW? 95? 98? ME? W2K? NT? XP? Vista? W7?
32? 64?

Great chances you'll need dosbox +W3.x to run the game on your PC.

I am using Windows 7 64bit

Then you'll need to run the game in dosbox/W3 or VPC/W98SE.
Easiest solution will be dosbox/W3 , see links posted above.

64 bits versions are not able to run 16 bits programs like Sim Tower. You will thus never be able to play it on a vanilla install of your 64 bit version.

Follow the links above for alternatives.

If it's a 16-bit Windows program, it will run in Windows 3.
Windows 3 runs in DOSBox.
Grab DOSBox, and then this: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/sho...48&postcount=2
Enjoy. :)

Thanks but i just have two more question you say not to but it in "C:\" root but would "C:\Dosgames" be acceptable? Also i mount it in DOSbox right?

The Fifth Horseman 03-02-2011 02:46 PM

Correct in both regards. :)

Thanks you so much. Now for some 16bit goodness :hihihi:
