Does EU2 work on Windows XP or 2000? (please say yes, so I can play it, but not if it's not true)

Hey, i just got a new computer with windows XP and when i try to install EU2, the comp just gets all slow and the installer nevercoems up. I end up having to close the isntaller (which never appears on my screen) with ctrl +alt+ del to make my computer go back to running normal. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Alright, now the installer will open after i wait a little, but when the game starts isntallnig, it gets to 2% and says i have a corrupt installation file! Any help?
Who is the publisher of your version, since the publishers write their own installers I need to know in order to find out which installer it is. The publishers logo will be on the CD.

Hi, I am having the same problem with a new system running XP. The EU2 cd locks up the system no matter what I try. The logo is hard to read on the cd, but looks like Info Flames. Would appreciate any suggestions. thx
That's the distributer, not the publisher.fieldsa12 said:
What does the third one say, the one in the middle?
Can you install the game and just not run it, or can you not install it at all?
The middle logo is Strategy First. When the menu comes up, the computer locks up if I hit install. The same thing happens if I try to load from the cd itself.Castellon said:
1) Set the color depth to 16BIT
2) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.

trouble with Xp
I also get the "something wrong with file" message. My version is produced and distributed by Vision Park in Scandinavia.

Crashing XP
Hey, EU2 have problems on XP.
i recently installed EU2 on my new laptop with XP (service 2)... the plain CD-version hardly works (1.02 scandinavian). I manage to install and play the game, but when I "surrender" it crashes to desktop... Of course, it is playable, as I manage to start a scenario and play it...
I also installed the 1.08 patch, and when I then tried to start a scenario, the game instantly crashed to desktop... It is unplayable..
(there is no reason mentioning what happened when I applied the 1.08 betas)
It seems really strange... the 1.02 works OK, (crashed when I "surrender"), but the 1.08 doesn't work at all... annoying..
can anything be done?

Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.

Hmm, did a search on my harddisc and I can't find any folders at all named AVI? Where is it supposed to be?

Uhm... did you try your EUII folder?
Hive said:
?? I don't have one. As I explained in my first post, I cannot install the game because I get a message saying:
"An installation support file 'C:\DOCUME~1\Jesper\LOKALE~1\Temp\{CA5DD6E-B508-4922-815D-479E3228B17A}\setup.inx' could not be installed"
And then it just says "Wrong application".
So I don't have it installed because I cannot install it.
:-( Jesper
This is why each person should open thier own thread.
The AVI rename was a responce to the post imediately above the one that mentions the rename.
Since you said you had the same problem as the original poster my advice to him goes for you and you have not said what happened when you tried it.

Okay. I tried setting the colour depth to 16bit and turning off virus protection, messenger etc. Still get the "file could not be installed" window when I try to install it.
As I mentioned in one of my first posts, my publisher/distributor is Vision Park in Scandinavia.
Any ideas?
Jesper
Copy all the files from your CD to the Harddrive and install from there.

Hey, I had problems running EU2, especially the 1.08 on XP. It worked however when I switched to 16-bit colours (from 32)...
Now, I have no more problems... (except for the game-loading-screen than becomes "halved" when loading the game/interface)
thanks
