Dispater Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 ok, I know I'm probably all too optimistic for my own good, but how can I install Grim Fandango on Windows XP x64? The silly game is packed with a 16-bit installer and won't run on 64 at all. If anyone know any work-arounds or are willing to write a new installer (!) or some other trick? If that won't work: could someone please get me the registry-keys needed to run the game, because I have it installed on my other harddrive and with the proper registry keys I could probably get it working. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julfisk Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 What if you try running it in compability mode? win95/98? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dispater Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 The installer won't budge, since it's 16 bit. Anyway, I installed it on my old winxp x86-boot and extracted the reg-settings from there so onw it works, but I hope I won't need to reinstall it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnesiasoft Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 You know of any other way to get it working besides installing 32 bit windows, as I really don't feel like looking for it. And doesn't the Microsoft website say Win64 will recognize 16-bit Acme and Instalshield installers and automatically convert them to 32-bit?

Stabs Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Sorry to kick a rather old thread up to the top, but as far as I know x64 is still a major problem for Grim. I'm just here to ask a couple of questions about the whole registry settings trick that get things working- namely, which ones in particular do I need, and where do they go once I've got them? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnesiasoft Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'd just recommend not trying with x64. I just gave up on finding a non-x64 solution and decided to dual boot with XP Media Center edition. worked fine from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmdzi1 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hi guys I've managed to get GRIM running fine under x64. It involves manuallu copying all files off te cd-rom into a "programs (x86)/LucasArts/GRIM" folder, After that, you have to manually create a register keys file, and manually copy it into regedit.exe, into a directory for the game which, surprise-surpsrise, you must create manually. if anyone wants to know exact instructions (too detailed here) or register key file, email me ben_dziekan@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Unless you do what was stated above, I am pretty sure there is no other way to get it to run...sorry dude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
