Leisure Suit Larry Spanish collection

Post by jbholio »

I have a problem installing Leisure Suit Larry 7 from the spanish 8 juegos de Larry collection CD. The menu.exe from the CD doesn't allow to install LSL7. It says to install it from the CD. I tried but keep getting errors (I'm under Vista). I then tried to use the DOSBox installer with the US version of LSL7. After the english game was installed and working, I tried to copy these files (see below) from the spanish CD to the LSL7 english directory but I'm getting an error 42 (this game has not been version stamped):

RESMAP
RESMDT
RESOURCE.AUD
RESOURCE.SFX
RESOURCE.WIN
RESSCI

Is there an installer for the spanish CD collection or is there a way to play it under Vista?

I have a couple of installers that work with Spanish versions, but none for the LSL games. RESOURCE.WIN is not needed for the DOS version. Try copying the contents to the folder, but do not overwrite the RESOURCE.CFG.

I noticed after I made the post that RESOURCE.WIN was not needed. I did not overwrite RESOURCE.CFG since it's not on the CD. I thought it would work because I have the english, french and german versions of LSL7 and the only files that seem to differ were the ones I listed in the previous post. There is also a "SPANISH" folder on the CD that contains files such as autorun, contact, language, readme, sndtest and theguide. I tried to copy the SPANISH folder in the LSL7 directory but I'm still getting the same error 42. BTW, your installer is working great with the french and german version. I really appreciate all you do about old PC software.

You could try to mount a folder as the C: drive fro DOSBox and your CD drive and run the game's original installer from there. There is not much more that I can do without access to the game.

If I send you a USB key with the contents of the CD, do you think you could do an installer for the spanish LSL collection?
