Install?

Postby Retsia » Sat Dec 03, 2005 12:05 pm

How do I install MOO on XP? I followed the link by Siron.



You know...Starlords installed in 1 minute, but MOO does not install.

Didnt need any "installation" here on my Win ME.

Unzipped these files: http://www.jonsullivan.com/misc/moo_all.zip

and orion.exe worked. There is also some dl version on his site which you have to install....but have you tried the zip above already?

I have to launch Orion.com instead of the Orion.exe to get orion to run on my XP machine.

moo 1 install, on WinXP

I just tried the link.
I changed the autoexec.nt as he specified, and it gave me an error message.
So, it won't run on my WinXP computer either.

Message reads: The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.
It is related to Shortc~1.PIF (the shortcut itself) (strange)

I even checked the 256 colors box, and 640x480 res. box, no change.

any ideas?
MOO1 Fan, MOO2 Fan, MOO3 needed too many changes = hopeless, getting older waiting for a MOO4 (still).

Unzip the above mentioned zip and load the orion.exe via DOSbox. Similar like MOO2. See the DOSbox Guide for details:
