OverlordMondo Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 I just downloaded the fantasy strategy; Maters of Magic. I unzipped all the components to C:\Magic. When I try to run Install.exe (From the above folder), it brings up DOS and says Invalid Option: Magic\Install.exeMicroprose Install ver. 2.00INSTALL [Flags] -s Do NOT Auto-Direct Sound Cards -b Turn ON speaker beeps -p Do not load background art I can't input any commands at this screen. Help would be appreciated.
Agozer Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Are you running Win98 or what? It might be that this game runs in pure DOS only... Try the Install with a flag like "Install.exe -b", but it probably won't change anything.
OverlordMondo Posted August 9, 2004 Author Posted August 9, 2004 I'm running XP. This is another game I had a long time ago but was lost while moving. It ran on my friends computer, back when I asked for it a while ago, without problems. And I'm pretty sure he was running XP at the time, too.

OverlordMondo Posted August 9, 2004 Author Posted August 9, 2004 Yeah, that worked. Kinds slow...but at least I can play it again. Thanks!
