Fleet command won't install on Windows 11

bomberb17 · 03-09-24, 11:01 AM

Basically I'm mounting the CD image and clicking on setup.exe - the process "32-bit Setup Launcher" is running in the background for ever and no installation window appears. I have tried also the XP installer from here http://www.sonalystscombatsimulation...dInstaller.exe but having the exact same issue.

Have also tried running the installers in compatibility modes (tried win95, win98, XP etc.) and even running with admin rights or 640 resolution, again nothing.
Is there any way to install this game?

With 32bit installers, I have had success running them by rebooting the PC to safe mode, installing the game and then rebooting normally. Hope this works!

Currently the best decision now is to buy the SCS version via Steam or Epic.

The Janes version is for the most part incompatible with most of the current hardware.

Since Windows and a lot of graphics drivers screw up the game with fancy scaling in the background, you will need to do the following:

Go to Change high DPI Settings:

Choose the checkbox for Override igh DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by "application".

Choose okay and save changes.
