So i've been hunting for days now, and I have yet to find a solution. My cd just will NOT install.
I have tried using the install.exe under windows. This gives me "install info error. file=:wrong number of params" I tried a fake c:\config.sys file, no difference.
I've tried running origin.bat at the command prompt. I get
"Availiable memory = 633952 bytes
Install System Shock (Y/N)"
So I press Y, of course. (Not quite that dumb, am I?)
Then comes
"Loading install....
...install finished"
Which takes about half a second, then I'm back to the D prompt. I have tried copying the entire CD to the hard drive and trying from there as well, with the same end.
There is also a method on ttlg forums where you are supposed to use VDMSound. He says
"STEP 3: Install the game,<he makes it sound soooo easy> I myself have the enhanced CD version.
MY COMPUTER---->SYSTEM SHOCK CD--->INST--->Right Click on INITIAL
and RUN WITH VDMS
STEP 4: A new window will open and from this menu you can select where you want
to install the game to and setup your sound system. I myself am using
Midi sound and for the digital sound using Soundblaster."
I get a dos window at this point, named Inactive VDMS Launchpad, with
"Loading 'VDDLoader.dll' ..."
which appears to be as far as that program wants to go.
I'm beginning to think XP just hates me. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and will do wonders for my self-esteem if I do manage to get this running.
