3) Go to the directory you installed the program to, select the parent folder, e.g.
Rogue squadron 3d windows 10 install#
2) Install your game on the compatible machine/virtual machine as you normally would. Alternately, you can use a separate physical machine and a flash drive. Otherwise, any of the major virtualization platforms and a copy of Windows XP/2k/whatever you have are required. If you have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, XP mode does the trick. In case someone actually needs to be able to follow that process, being as it works for ANY game with a 16 bit installer but that functions normally once installed: 1) Install some form of virtual machine. Since it was already installed in the XP mode virtual machine, all that it took was to copy the game directory to the actual hard drive, find the appropriate registry entries, export them, and then edit them in notepad before copying them to the 'real' registry.
A strangely roundabout method got me on the right track, though I found it's a rather simpler fix than initially explained. Further inquiry led me to find that the game itself is apparently compatible, but just the installer isn't. I decided, then, to use XP mode to virtualize it, and the install succeeded, only to be stopped by a cruel irony since the game requires a '3D accelerator,' and virtual PC can't virtualize GPUs, I couldn't run a 12-year-old game on two 8800 GTs.

Problem is, I upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit since I last played, and the installer would just quit out on me and fail on any attempt. I got that game when I first got a PC, and like to hop back on every once in a while to play through it. So, I decided to break out my copy of Rogue Squadron 3D again, for nostalgia's sake.
