shinderhizzle84 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hello. So I've been trying to install Kotor II for a long time now, but whenever I insert disk 1 and open up either autoplay.exe or setup.exe or whatever program I need to start up the TSL installer, I get a stupid error message that pretty much says I don't have "mss32.dll". I know that there is a similar error message to that for Windows 7 people when KOTOR II The Sith Lords is actually INSTALLED on the computer...but what am I supposed to do if I can't even install the stupid game because of this error??

Q Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Have you tried installing the game according to the large-print instructions at the top of the second post in this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinderhizzle84 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Have you tried installing the game according to the large-print instructions at the top of the second post in this thread? Before I try that I'm just a little confused about the directions in the 2nd post and would appreciate some clarification before I do anything to screw something up, haha. It says to do some things in, just as an example, "EDIT 2". What the hell does that mean? I don't see any edited posts, and when I looked on whichever step of the OP that corresponded with the edit's number, I got completely different instructions. So, for example, the first step in the 2nd post of that thread is "Direct X9.0 as mentioned in edit 2" and then it talks about a link for some sort of special version of DX that doesn't conflict with DX10.0...but the link is not there AT ALL. So before I even do this, unless I find out what EDIT #2 is, find EDIT #2 and get the correct version of DX9, I can't go through with the installation... Thanks for the help!

Qui-Gon Glenn Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Normally, Q gives a little extra direction when pointing you at that thread - look specifically at post #2, I have linked it here to view as a single post. Follow the instructions in post #2 in order and you should be good, steps 1 - 11. After the "****************************************" line is the original post and edits, which you can now ignore, as Q updated the steps above that portion to reflect all of the edits included. Beyond that, try the deletion of those two logo movies I mentioned in the other thread. Only do that if, after falling Evil Q's installation guide, things are still not good.

Hey, thanks for the reply. My problems with KOTOR 2 and KOTOR 1 are two separate problems but I will gladly continue my conversation with you about KOTOR 1 in this thread. Yeah my problem with the thread linked above is that I don't understand the directions in the 2nd post. Where is the link for the direct x? It says to follow the directions STEP BY STEP in that particular order but I can't do that because there is no link to the directx download mentioned in the first step of the above post. NOW onto KOTOR 1. KOTOR 1 was installed fine...the game works perfectly normal in full screen...it's just in Windowed mode that it refuses to work. Do you want me to re-install my game using those instructions or something? EDIT: I'm an idiot, nevermind about the KOTOR 2 Installation problem. I thought automatically that a link would change colors like it does on my forums, but I was wrong...it was just hidden, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qui-Gon Glenn Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Windows mode has never been particularly reliable in any case. Glad you found the link. DirectX is a Windows product though... a google search would have sufficed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinderhizzle84 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Windows mode has never been particularly reliable in any case. Glad you found the link. DirectX is a Windows product though... a google search would have sufficed. I realize that, but I wasn't sure which version of Directx to download. Obviously it was 9, but the way the post in that thread was structured, it made it sound like it was a special version of DX9 that I would have had to have searched extra hard for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinderhizzle84 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Okay...howabout this. Rather than telling me how to fix my problems with KOTOR windowed mode, does anybody here at all stream the game? If someone could help me figure out a good way to stream the game, from screen capturing software to the site that they use, that would be very, very much appreciated!
