[XeflexeunCremoxeum]

Hello? What if im not using any CD? but i have files of it? I extracted the Files then run the set up but it keeps saying..the version of the file is not compatible with the version. you are using

[shadowhand56]

can you do another tutorial on playing online with moo ?

[SicilianGunner]

why when i do all that i type in install.exe and then it says illegal command line

[Rhulqdahr]

No need to create any *.bat files, no need to repair broken colors in the game... I like it. Quick and simple method. Great job and thank you.

[ravenswylde]

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.

[Metalfan2709]

Is it possible to install the patch too?

Only got the v1.2

[DarkMaks93]

Thanks! This method is really works! I didn't realise that it can be so simple!

[MasterFlame100]

Does that mean i have to keep installing it all the time if i want to play?

[greatking1997]

will it be safe to install dos programs on vista..?

[luxzhvs]

I don't have a Orion 2 disc, I have all the files in a folder called Orion2 i mounted to

my C: drive now what do i do?

[Leny1777]

MSCDEX is limited supported. How can I install it? And im trying to play Heroes 2 on my windows 7 and I could get the game up and running without the disc but I can't play because it can't let me install I already have all the files from the disc cc:/ on "oldgames" folder. And im trying to mount the game directly from copying and paste the file and it cannot be run.

[Leny1777]

Dude I made my folder "old games" and I drag my installation game (like the cd rom) Then it gets mounted when I drag to mountbox ,but my problem is I can't make it work to install this program. I need help!

[666666MetalHead]

When I type "install.exe" it says it's an illegal command. How do I fix this?

[MasterFlame100]

How do you run the game again after installing it?

[TheSteelGamer]

@MasterFlame100 I HAME SAME PROBLEM I REALLY HATE TO REINSTALL EVERY TIME ... I LOSE THE SAVES TOO :(

[Thrasher257]

@MasterFlame100 Mount the cd again, then mount the directory you installed the game in, then run orion2.exe

[jjorgy16]

Got the game to run but there's no sound. How can I fix it?

[fistandantilus18]

noob?- I had success installing the game by substituting mount g for c eventually. I can't find the game anymore though. dosbox locked up the screen when I got it installed and I couldn't use the mouse outside of the program so I logged out of my computer and back in. I tried reinstalling the exact same way and it won't do anything. How do I find the game now? Is it not working the same way because it is already installed? I can't seem to find the correct combination to direct it to the game.

[fistandantilus18]

@fistandantilus18 I think what messed everything up is that I installed it to the original D:\MPS\ORION2 and just clicked the install instead of changing it to D:\moo2 like you did at 0:42.

[atomicgate]

@fistandantilus18 where is it installed? can you find it using the windows Find feature or do you see the folder when you go into My Computer> C: ?

[fistandantilus18]

@fistandantilus18 It's on My Computer> C: There is a MPS file folder under moo2 and a ORION2 file. Don't know what to do. I tried quite a bit to get it working to no avail. Your wisdom in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

[hbk00123]

I created a folder and did as you did it and typed mount d c:\moo2 but it said it doesn't exist

[atomicgate]

@hbk00123 'd' in that line is the letter of your cd/dvd drive, so It might be something else

[hbk00123]

@atomicgate i got that part to work but the g g:\ -t cdrom isnt working

[MrShootinputin]

Easier way buy the download from GOG(dot)com. It will work on windows 7.

[atomicgate]

@MrShootinputin wow that's a nice site, didn't know about it

[MrShootinputin]

@atomicgate You are welcome.

[buddy2131]

@MrShootinputin That was helpful, just wanted to say thanks.

[MrShootinputin]

@buddy2131 You are welcome. Glad it helped.

[danwithjesus]

Thank you for the upload...i have the game and i didn't know how to play it...with your help..now i do...Thank you

[silentdictator]

Thanks, how about the sound issue?

[silentdictator]

Also I usually mount my game with daemon tools to bypass cd's. Overall the game is installed in C:\moo2\MPS\orion2 the other question I have is how do I play it without reinstalling it? Tried several combinations with the advise you previously given. Please Help

[atomicgate]

@silentdictator do "MOUNT D: C:\moo2\MPS\orion2" than "CD D:" and start the game with "orion2.exe" or w/e the exe file is called

[hubblabla]

@atomicgate I had the same question, but if I follow this way it says, that there are not all game data and it doesn't start. Does somebody know how to fix that?

[silentdictator]

Works great but im running vista and theres no sound?

[icecremer]

thank you

[icecremer]

2 questions: 1. after i installed and got out of the program how do i return without installing the program again

2.how can i run full screen



[atomicgate]

@icecremer you need to mount the folder of where the game is installed.. in the example it was "MOUNT D C:\moo2" than do "CD D:\" or "CD D:\moo2" (if you have another moo2 folder inside that) and start the game by typing "orion2.exe" without the " ofcourse

[cowboybebop20]

@icecremer Fullscreen = Alt+Enter

[RobertAKAsmoky]

Hey i got a question when i go in DOSBox i start filling the stuff but when i reach the part when i need to fill the g:\install.exe it say :"illegal command: install.exe"

can you quide me what i need to do there ?

[cowboybebop20]

@RobertAKAsmoky

I have the same problem....and i don't know how to fix it.

[atomicgate]

@RobertAKAsmoky I think there are 2 versions of MOO2 the DOS version and Windows one.. might get that error if you try to install the windows one with DOSBOx.. not 100% sure though

[BrutalMind]

what if I dont own the cd?

[Chettoes121]

@BrutalMind i played around on google for a while and found a download for it then i burned it to a cd and did what the vedio said and it worked fine (only problem was game was in french)
