Triple Murder Mystery Pack/Agatha Christie

I recently purchased a Triple Murder Myster Pack containining And Then there were None; Murder on the Orient Express and Evil Under the Sun. It says it works with vista but when I attempt to install the DVD, it will not go past the opening page. Yet, I can go on the site and download a free copy of Murder on the Orient Express with no problems. What do I need to do to download this software?

Any suggestions?

Not sure if this clarifies the issue, but if you have a new computer with a 64-bit operating system, the DVD might not work on it. A lot of older versions of games were designed for a 32 bit system and are not compatible with 64 bit; found this out the hard way.


Maybe the download worked because the on-line version was updated to accomodate 64 bit.

You could try returning the DVD but it is unlikely the store will give you a refund once the seal is broken.

I have the same mystery pack but haven't tried to install on my Vista machine yet. Will let you know what happens when I do, and since you asked will probably try tonight.

Ok, at first I was having the same problem you were....it just wouldn't go past the screen with the title of the game you were trying to install even when I clicked install. So, then I decided to get creative. This is what I tried, and it worked for me. I'm also using Vista.

1. With the DVD in the drive, open "Computer" as if you were looking at Windows Explorer.
2. Right click on the DVD drive icon and choose Explore. You will see folders labeled "Attwn", "Euts", and "Motoe" among some other stuff you can just ignore.
3. Choose one of these (I started with "Attwn") and double-click it. Now you should see a file (not folder) called "setup.exe". There are other files with "setup" in their name, but the "setup.exe" is the one you want.
4, Double-click this "setup.exe" file, and this will start the installation process for whichever game folder you chose.

You will have to go through the same process for each game and its corresponding folder. For some reason, the autorun install feature isn't working...probably something to do with Vista's security. However, if you go to each folder, the games will install normally.

"Attwn" is "And Then There were None".
"Euts" is "Evil Under the Sun".
"Motoe" is "Murder on the Orient Express".

HTH!
