Here is the Sid Meier’s Antietam technical guide for Windows XP and later or a mirror. Druzhina

Some gamers have found that when attempting to install Sid Meier’s Gettysburg or Antietam on Windows 7 using the instructions here: http://mattslow.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=HelpBoard&action=display&thread=310 then find that nothing happens when they doubleclick on setup.exe.

maxsun08, The 'greater than 1 day scenarios' (official and user-made) will have no troops regardless of the operating system without patch 3. You are not missing anything. Jorpho, Official and user-made scenario are loaded exactly the same way and can be (and have been) given the same scenario …

I expected that was the case. I don't have a solution other than to pause & leave the computer on. You can register at the Gettysburg Online Society http://mattslow.proboards.com/ Someone may find a solution. It seems that Firaxis' changes to make the XP patch allowed it to continue to save games on …

Yes, these are available at http://smx.iblogger.org/SMGBattlePacks.htm Scenario 26 is the official Firaxis 3 day Gettysburg scenario. Later releases (only) of Sid Meier’s Gettysburg have this in an 'extra' folder. Can you save any game, official or custom, when using patch 3 on Vista, (including …

Some common problems with Sid Meier’s Gettysburg If autorun of the CD gives a Kernel32.dll error then run setup from the CD. If the game crashes with an error message on accessing the Preferences screen, make sure you have the new version of LABELS.TXT that comes with Patch 3 in the Gettysburg …

Re crashing when the preferences are selected: Patch 3 has more preferences so needs a longer labels file for the text of these preferences. When using a patch make sure the labels.txt file from patch3 is also present.

You can make an .ISO from the CD. (There are shareware programs such as Ultra ISO) and then 'mount' it on a CD emulation program (e.g. DAEMON). Then do a full install from the mounted ISO image (as the game will look for the device number it was installed from for the CD). Make sure you have the …
