hello, I've been playing around with MechWarrior 2 DOS & win95 versions and came across a bit of a problem
I've got win98/win2k dual boot, so I alternate between the two and I noticed today I can't run the 1.1 patch in 2K, which I did successfully install a couple of days ago in Windows 98.
I had this about a month ago with another batch file I was trying to run which was also fairly complex.
Essentially when it runs the batch file, it automatically chooses option 3 for me, and cancels the patching process.
I can always patch MW2 manually, or do it in win98, so I'm fine, just wondering if anyone knows what up here.
Oh, and for Dosfreak, I've been playing around with win95 MW2 in 2K, but can't seem to get any further than anyone else, all I noticed really were that during installation, it mentioned an error with ATL.DLL, not supporting unicode. There is a NT ATL.DLL and a win98 ATL.DLL, I presume it wants the win98 one, but it installs anyway. APcompat gives an error in MSVCRT.DLL, which is also a C++ library.
The "holovid" in the clan halls was apparently done in C++ while the rest of the game was done in C/assembly, but I'm not sure about the front-end.
Not sure about the DX2 incompatibility seeing as I couldn't get the game started.
The batch file is attached if anyone wants a peek
