FF7 Won't install! T_T
« on: 2005-03-10 22:37:25 »
Okay... a long while ago, when I was rather stupid, I put FF7 onto my Windows XP.  Everything worked fine until I reached the Chocobo Race right after Dyne.  At that point, I did not know that a patch or this site existed.  I simply put it off as a bug, and deleted FF7*.  Now, I know that it is able to fix, and so I rushed to reinstall FF7, when it came up with: "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT.  This file is not suitable for MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows Programs. Yahdyahdyah..." when I opened ff7inst.exe.  I looked it up on Google and found the solution, but now it simply does nothing.  You double-click it, it thinks for a split second, and does absolutely nothing.  It really sucks!  Can anyone shed some light?

*The reason I had put it on XP was because I had put it on an old 98, but there was a really weird glitch at Bugenhaden's place where he would talk, and it would 'freeze'... like, his text would be there, and he'd still be bobbing up and down, and I could run around the room, not to mention through my party members... but that's another story. Ciao.

I know about the Chocobo patch.  Otherwise, I wouldn't have been trying to install it.
