So I tried updating it - the patch recognises my version as being Swedish V1.08.168 and then complains I downloaded the wrong patch version (the english one). Yet I installed it as the UK English version. This has happened before.
I'm thinking that something broken and it just installs the wrong shit. I might need someone with a good connection to send me some of the files over MSN in a vain attempt to get it working. Especially that .ICD file.

First, the original CD. Then I had the Loopy Landscapes expansion, which I no longer have. In both cases it works fine.
Is your the original boxed version or the Infogrames/Atari "Best Of" re-release?

according to chris sawyer's FAQ, the last patch should fix any compatibility problems.Run wrote:So far I've tried:Squirminator2k wrote:I managed to get it to work by setting it to Win98/ME compatibility, and disabling Visual Themes. It works fine.
1/ Running both setup.exe and rct.exe under compatbility mode for Windows 95
2/ Running both setup.exe and rct.exe under compatbility mode for Windows 98/ME
3/ Running both setup.exe and rct.exe without any compatability mode
They all produce the same error when trying to run the game (see below) except that the blue Loading screen for RCT only appears with 1/ and 3/. So 98/ME compatbility mode looks promising in that it's the exception.
The error I get is the typical Microsoft "report this error" window, and it seems to be complaining about my "rct.ICD" file. Could it be that that is corrupt, or something? Windows calls it an "unknown application" and its size is 6,007,808 bytes.
There's supposed to be a patch somewhere on the internet for rct, though i never had success with it. Did you use that or simply use the original CD and nothing more?
Meanwhile, *cries*
if that doesn't work, you can try the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit.
