OverlordMondo Posted August 9, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted August 9, 2004 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverlordMondo Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share 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.
