Hey,

i installed Win 3.11 on DOSBox. I want to play my old game: Frankenstein Through the Eyes of the Monster. I can install it and start it too. Sound is there. But at the first Video Sequence there comes an error:

Director Player 4.0:

script error.

So, what can i do to fix this problem?

Thx

Download and install quicktime 2.1.2 from http://www.win31.de/esoft.htm
Maybe you need to use an SVN version of DOSBox since the 0.74 release (and earlier releases) didn't handle CD-Roms well that had also the Mac filesystem on the CD.

The other Solution is to use an svn build. There are more as one svn build so i wanted to know if i have to use a special svn build or if it doesnt matter^^

It has to be some kind of recent SVN (this year vs middle of 2011) and I'd go for a plain one without too much patches but it's up to you

Sure,

The official QT 2.1.2 release is in fact 2.1.2.59, so it's no surprise that the installer you uploaded is byte-for-byte identical to the one Dominus linked.

he he he, thanks for checking, didn't have time yet to do just that...
So Fexel, when I gave you the link, did you try with that version or just any qt you could fine?

Guys, you are the best! 😀
I installed Frankenstein in Windows 98 DOSBox-X and the game won't run with the QuickTime version included on the CD. Only v2.1.2 does the trick.
