Star Trek Borg works fine in 200/XP/2003/Vista (32bit). (with the patch)

If you want to play the game in 64bit operating systems then you'll need to use Vmware 6+ with a 32bit Windows guest.

Could not get the game to work, tell me how you got it to work???

Download the patch. Install the game with it.

I got the patch and it says it cannot load the dll library and stops..... So that is where I get all messed up at...... Where can I get a new copy of the patch at?

oh The dll library

The first Google hit for <Star Trek Borg Windows Patch>:

The Game itself works fine, but installation requires a little work; first download the update patch (borgptch.zip) from www.simonsays.com and extract it to any directory. Next create a "Redist" -directory under the dir where u extracted the patch. copy NTDSetup.dll from your windowssystem32 -dir to the fresh created redist dir and rename it "DSETUP.DLL". Now run autorun.exe from the patch-dir. Enjoy.

I tried the instructions I that are on the above reply from this and they did not work at all, so I'm looking for suggestions or some help. unless I did the instructions wrong, the instructions are kid of hard to follow, since it is not exact to what file to move to what with what folder to make where.. HELP

This isn't very complicated.

1. Insert Borg CD into CD drive.
2. Download patch.
3. Extract patch.
4. Run patch to install game.
5. Done.
6. Play game.

I think the game installs quicktime if not then install the quicktime version that comes on the CD.

If you are using 64bit Windows then you'll need to install the game in a VM.

If the above instructions are any indication, it is teensy-weensy bit more complicated, but indeed not very complicated.

Let's try this again...

1. Download the patch.
2. Extract the patch to a folder on your desktop. Name it whatever you want.
3. Open the folder.
4. Inside the folder, create a new folder. This one has to be called "redist".
5. Open your C:\WINDOWS\SYTEM32 folder. (Click "Show All Files" if you need to.) Look for the file called NTDSetup.dll.

OR

Google for NTDSetup.dll and download it from wherever.
6. Copy NTDSetup.dll into the folder named "redist" that you created in Step 4.
7. Rename the new copy of NTDSetup.dll (the one in the "redist" folder) to DSETUP.dll.

Now do you get it!?

In the future please try to provide more details about exactly what you did and what error messages you received, especially if you don't understand what you're doing!

The patch comes with dsetup.dll.

I'm guessing it might not be an NT-compatible version.

What's odd is I never had to do those steps and I've installed the game multiple times over multiple operating systems. Must be different versions or something or mabye a new DX version broke something.

I am having a problem with this game also. I am running XP. I have followed the instructions exactly but when the patch tries to install directx it aborts and says "Could not load the DLL library C:\...\PATCH\REDIST\DSETUP.DLL". I have tried it with the DSETUP.DLL that came with the patch and downloaded (and renamed) the other DLL but I end up with the same message. I have the file structure exactly how it states in this forum (and other places) but still problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Funny- I posted this EXACTLY one year from the previous discussions... Im a little behind it seems!

Maybe you're running 64-bit Windows?
