REACTOR - ICR2-3d Won't Load

Ok, first of all the txt file on the installation states to go to DOS mode and then type D: for the CD then cd\ICR2 then INSTALL. Well, my cd directory is D:\indycar2\icr2 When I get into that subdirectory where the install.exe is located and run install - the directories are created on the C: drive and the indysafe and indyfast files but no other files. I then hard copied the files from CD to hard drive then ran setup. Then tried to run the game by using indyfast and I get a message about unable to locate VERITE board and the game doesn't load. Anyone have any clue on how I've screwed this up and I've tried every possible combo on the installation process C> D:\indycar2\icr2\install D> \indycar2\icr2\install nothing installs correctly. I'm using win95 and I use the multi-boot option to go to "Command Prompt Only" and even from win95 "shutdown" "restart to MSDOS mode" Nothing is working for this ICR2 3d version. Andrew

Did you try installing it from the floppy disk that came with it? The install file on the cd will not install all the files. Go to run in win 95. Type in A:\install , providing you put the floppy in the drive, everything will install. Barry Clay

Well for starters, that's not how you install the game. There should have been an included 3.5 floppy that has an updated install program. If you didn't get one I believe the update is also available on Intergraph's web page. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

drive when you do the install

OK, I screwed up. The floppy was there, I just didn't realize it. Things are working just fine :) Sorry for the panic. Andrew

You should have received a floppy diskette with your CD with a new ICR2 install program. With the CD in the drive, run the install program off the floppy and everything should be fine. Alternatively, you can just XCOPY the ICR2 directory off the CDROM, but you'll have to change the attributes of the config files to R/W.
