Good Day Davros,

I had similar problem with Deus Ex 2 under Windows 7. In my case, all is solved by patching to 1.2 version. Is your game patched?

yes, it was installed under win 7 (later upgraded to 10) and it worked there

I hope that helps. By the way, if you've never played Deus Ex before, then play it vanilla (i.e. don't install any of the fan-made mods such as graphical updates, or new missions), as it was when it was released. Then when you want to play it again, play it with Shifter (http://www.moddb.com/mods/shifter1), which is a mod that changes some of the gameplay and add some new stuff. Then play it with GMDX (v9 is due out in a month or two - http://www.moddb.com/mods/gmdx), which is basically Shifter but a lot more so (it's my favourite Deus Ex mod). You will want to play Deus Ex repeatedly, and these two mods improve the game (vanilla DX is great, DX + Shifter is really great, and DX + GMDX is utterly fantastic).

There are also mods that add new missions, and some that improve the graphics, but one I didn't like was Revision, which a lot of people say is fantastic, but lots of other people (myself included) think actually manages to worsen the game in some aspects. Not terrible, but I wouldn't play it again.

Deus Ex is still my favourite ever game, more than fifteen years since I first played it.

Sorry sorry sorry. That's what happens when an idiot skims a web page instead of actually doing the work he's (badly!) paid to do. In my defence, I get bored very easily...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy Deus Ex 2. Lots of people really hate it, since it's so inferior to (the fantastic) first game, but if you play Deus Ex 2 on it's own merits, and try and forget that it's a sequel to the stellar Deus Ex, then it's a good game. I played it on the XBox though, I could never get the PC version to work reliably, as far as I can recall, that and Project Snowblind were the only two PC games I could never get running well.

thanks Firtasik

Still cant install

Have you checked Windows Registry? Maybe something (AV) is blocking the reg file.

I made a mistake when altering your registry entries
anyway ive decided to re install and its now working (havnt patched it yet)
Patched to 1.2 and installed the upgrade and everything is working fine
thanks everyone
