I found my new Windows 7 PC will install and run SH2 and DC. SH2 required the high res mod and neither will work if PM1.03 is installed, but hey, better than being broken on the Xp PC. Yay!:woot:

There was a fix by Seeadler for that, initially created for PM 0.14 but work with any version. I still have it, so if you want it, I'll upload it here at subsim.com.

That would be good of you. I still need to get Pacific Aces to run. SH2 does fine but PA gives me a janus error at launch.

Install order was:

1.SH2 original disc install renamed PA.
2. PA1.1
3. High red mod.
4. PA upgrade/patch (SubSim pack)

For all it's problems, SH2 did at least have that funky Type XXIII. Even if the propeller did revolve around it's end instead of it's center. :D

I'm not sure anymore, but I think PA didn't need Subsim's hi-res kit, as it was already included. Try installing only SH2, 1.1 patch, then finally PA initial version. Start the game and run it at 800x600. If that works, try f it allows you to select 1024x768 and test it. Finally, add PA patch and test again.

Torp, now we also have it in SH3 :yeah:

But yes, SH2/DC gave you control of pretty anything that floated with some minor text file editing, and that was a great potential.

My mistake.

The order should be:
NOTE: Relevant to my Windows 7 system, hardware may matter if it installs at all

1. SH2 full install
2. SH2 Patch 1.1 (SH2Patch1.1)
3. SH2 Hi-res mod w/o PM 1.03 (SubsimHighResComb_11SP1)
4. PacificAces_RC4
5. PacificAcesPatch11

Works fine now. Note you should save these whole installed versions. If you trash one, you simply copy the save back into the game's directory. :03:

EDIT: To have SH2 and Pacific Aces:

1. Install full SH2 to default directory.
2. Install SH2 official patch 1.1
3. Insatall Hi-res mod (SubsimHighResComb_11SP1) w/o PM 1.03 selected
4. Copy C:\......\SSI\Silent Hunter II folder as 'SH2good install' or whatever for a duplicate backup file
5. Copy the backup and paste/rename to C:\......\SSI\Pacific Aces
6. Install PacificAces_RC4 to C:\......\SSI\Pacific Aces. I have to select C:\......\SSI\Pacific Aces, and then rebrowse to remove the 'Silent HunterII' that ends the file path.
7. Install Pacific Aces 1.1 Patch to C:\......\SSI\Pacific Aces

If you don't have a desktop icon start 'Pacific Aces 1.1' from C:\......\SSI\Pacific Aces\Shell\SH2

no cant say i still play it..I thought about playing it and DC a few months ago but I didn't get around to it..I play Sh1 once every 3 months or so still though with dos box..
