Problem installing AOD on 64 bit Vista

John Pancoast · 09-13-11, 07:55 PM

Trying via my cd to install AOD on Vista 64 bit. Won't go though; get a "you need a 64 bit version of this file to run it"

Any idea if it's possible to install AOD on this os ?

AOD is a DOS program. You are going to need a program called DOSBox to run it.

You have to use DOSBox to install it. And you have to use DOSBox to run it.

Feel free to ask further questions. Setting AOD up can be a bit confusing the first time around.

You need to install the expansion pack and the patch as well. I usually mount the expansion pack files as a floppy on drive A and run it. And then I install the patch from my C drive. Both drives A and C are virtual DOSBox drives. And make sure to install the expansion and then the patch. The patch is the last thing you install.
