3.
We edit the AV.CFG file (using Notepad), and at the first line we put in the full game-path.
(On my machine this would be C:\virus, however this will be different if you have the game in a different folder. Note that paths like ...\Documents and Settings\.... will NOT work.)
4.
As all the .AR2 files are already in the correct folder, there's no need to do anything with them.
5.
Start the AVPATCH.EXE file again, and this time complete it.
6.
Play the game in DOS or DOSBox, the game will NOT work in Windows XP (It will seriously damage your screen resolution if you try to play it on Windows XP).

Hello, please help, anyone!!
I cannot get Alien Virus to work, so I presume I am doing something wrong:-
I unzipped Alien Virus into a folder c:\virus
I edited the AV.CFG file using Notepad, to read as follows:-
Sourcepath = c:\virus
InstallationType = 1
and saved it.
I then double clicked on AVPATCH.EXE and said "y" to run the patch - there was no response to indicate whether the patch had run or not.
I then tried to run Alien Virus using DOSBox as follows:-
mount c: c:\virus
c:
av.exe
but DOSBox responds "...can't find AlienVirus CD..."
Please help, someone, what have I done wrong or what more must I do??? :confused:
Many thanks
Wendy
