The forum had the wrong location for the "redist" folder. Instead of creating one, the "redist" folder has to be copied from CD #1 of the game.

Try this instead.

In order for the game to work, download and extract the patch to your desktop.
Explore CD #1 of the game, and you will see a file named "redist".
Copy the redist folder from the CD to the game patch folder on your desktop.
Click on setup, and the game will install, and work

Opps, sorry. My 1st time posting, thought I was adding a reply to someone who was asking how to get Star Trek: Borg (old Windows 95 game) to install and work.

Okay, because that first post made no sense.

I was going to restate the topic title for irony, but on second thought, I don't know how you managed to do this if you were replying within a thread.

How about by clicking the "new" button to the left of the "re:" button under every post 😉

I suppose if you don't notice that it says "Post a new topic" in big letters at the top.
