I haven't been able to find any posts from anyone who got Cameron Files 2: Pharaoh's Curse working on Windows 7.

Why not? Of course it will smile
It is based on the same Phoenix VR engine used by many other games by index+ / Wanadoo / Galilea.

I have just checked: the Russian disk version runs fine in Windows 7 x64!

In fact, I can remember only a couple of games not working in Windows 7. Like 'Versailles 2' unfortunately.

I just tried it in my Windows 7 and it does not work. It says something about the file being incompatible.

oldbroad, what file? Can you post a screenshot?
Maybe some English edition features a 16-bit installer? That sounds rather strange for a 2002 game.

It says:

"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."

Ah, yes - that means that your (US?) edition of this game features a 16-bit installer (in difference of my Russian version). It won't run in x64 systems without some extra help. You can try an InstallShield wrapper (it can help, but that does not happen in 100% of cases for some reason), or you can install the game in other system (like virtual Windows 98) and then copy the installed game into Windows 7.

Here is the link to InstallShield wrapper, if anyone would like to try smile

You just install this program - and then autorun the CD. It would either work or not!

Thanks for the option, Iurii. Maybe it will work.


Gardens put to bed for the winter. Time for some gaming!

It's running on my Win 7 64bit, but it's been installed since Nov. 2013 and I don't remember what I had to do to get it installed. Probably some 32 bit installer similar to that one previously mentioned. I do recall using one on some game(s), but I'm not sure if it was this one.The other Cameron Files game, Secret at Loch Ness, is on Big Fish and is listed as Windows XP/Vista/7/8.

Cameron Files Secret at Loch Ness is also on Steam and plays on Windows 7, and it is on sale right now really cheap.

As far as I know, the Steam version of 'Loch Ness' is not the original game, but a terrible back port from mobile platforms. Like what they did with 'Atlantis II', 'Dracula 3' and many other great games.

I played it a few years ago and it seemed okay to me Iurii, though it had been a long time between playing the original disc and the Steam download.
