W2kW2k

Sorry, if I was unclear about all that: English is not my native language. I've read the respective posts and completely understand the situation regarding Micro$oft. What I meant to say was only: IMO Stardock should replace the W2k-restriction in the retail-version's installer with a "continue at your own risk/no official support"-warning. I'm pretty sure that it could be done easily by releasing an updated installer. It would be a big help for W2k users if we just had to add

Updates seem to work on W2k! :D You just have to add this key to the registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Drengin.net\sins] "Path"="[DRIVE LETTER]:\\[INSTALLATION DIRECTORY]" I'm also kind of disappointed about Stardock ignoring W2k-users for no reason. :(

Thanks, finalvinyl! I've just tried it an it seems to work great on my W2k system. :) Actually I had to replace/add two modified dlls: xinput1_3.dll and faultrep.dll. They are either from the Supreme Commander or the Bioshock W2k patch. I've just uploaded them here: http://rapidshare.com/files/90132280/SoSE_W2k.zip.html DISCLAIMER: no warranty whatsoever! @Stardock: Please do support W2k officially or at least remove the limitation in the installer.

[quote] whats the error msg? i dual boot win2k/xp maybe i could log into windows2k and try and launch the game to see what happens, dont have time right now though [/quote] [img]http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/1845/sosemd2.png[/img] Looks like a deliberate check of the installer and not like an OS error message. Please try to run it on W2k when you have the time.

It won't even install on W2k. (Aborts with an error message) :( I'd really appreciate (inofficial) suppport for W2k. W2k is still widespread - especially on mid- to low-end machines. And that is a huge part of the target group that "Sins of a Solar Empire" is aiming at. Please do release a patch. Thanks!
