Hi, everyone

I am trying to use the installer on this page

http://www.sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/Patches-Updates-Games/GabrielKnightSeriesUpdates.html

To get GK2 running on Win 7 (64-bit). However, I just get a "not found. Please reinstall" when I try the game. I have re-installed it, but no help there. All the other sierra installers have worked fine, though.

Has anyone had the same problem?

The only installer I see that will run under Windows 7 (64 Bit) is the DOSBox installer - is that the one you're using?

I haven't used the installer, but DOSBox requires that you're in the games install folder/directory. What do you see if you type DIR in the Command Prompt?

Well, all the files are where they should be. It seems as if the installer mounts the correct directory. Also, the installer is a custom one which creates a windows executable, which in turn runs through DosBox.

If I try to run it through dosbox itself, I get an error where I can only "restore" or "quit" at the menu, and no sound. There is a patch that should help with this, but it didn't help me. frown
