Getting Deus to run in Win XP
So I got my hands on a copy of Deus. The problem though, is that it won't run in Windows XP, even with compatibility mode on Win 9x.
It always gives me the error "The procedure entry point F  hunk could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."I tried running it in DOSbox, but then I get an error saying that Deus is a 32 bit application. Is there any solution to this problem that doesn't involve installing a virtual machine? |

you mean this game, right? not deus ex
at first i'd try backing up and replacing your old kernel32 on xp machine (which should be located at c:\windows\system32) by some other one, for example here also, try un-checking compatibility mode before trying btw, there's also a dos version of the game

It's for Windows and DOS, so there should be an executable which is executable in DOSBox.

Yes, I mean Deus. I sadly only have the Windows version. I tried getting a new DLL, but that didn't fix it. I think that the call was removed from windows as it was superseded or something, which is really out of character for Microsoft, since M$ is famous for not doing so. If someone could find me a DOS version of it, that would be great.

I assume then, that asking where I can download it for free isn't allowed on this forum.

Well I've managed to acquire a working copy of Deus. It seems to be working so far at least.
