Windows 7 Compatability

Post by Zathras »

I know i'm going to take a hit for this, anyway to be more precise on the icomp thing. It sure would be appreciated. I've tried so many things now that I'm starting to miss things. I just uninstalled all and just re-installed worldgroup. Thanks for any help, sorry bout the nagging.

ps. Nice mystic on the other post Armour

I believe the sysntax is icomp *.* c:\test Then you would copy all those files into your WGSERV dir or whatever you called it. Im not 100% positive tho.

I tried running it in every mode it showed, but the setup file wouldnt even get started. I just downloaded virtual box and installed windows 2000 on it, but its late now and im tired. I'll post tomorrow on results. I have to read up on it.

btw, you can install major on 64bit.. its not too difficult.. just icomp -z the files and then copy them over to the wg folder and your done.

The ghost is right... it isnt too difficult (thanks again abys). Also, compatibility mode won't work (most of the time).
