A-10 II silent thunder under vista unexpected error

[kisshu]

I have the Aces collection and used the installer for that - before i could not get the regular installer to work using an archcived iso image so thought it might be unrecognized. The Aces cd does install with the aces installer but when i run the game with admin and compatibility for win 95 with 256 colors, 640x480, and disable visual themes and select training and click ok for flying i get an unexpected error has occured. If i instead hit the fly now buttoni get The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142) and for the problem details :

thank you for the installers and any help and insight you may provide for running this game under vista

Has anyone been able to solve this error? In the mean time I have successfully ran a10-2 under virtualbox win95 no errors yet but there could be a solution to run on modern pc in compatibility mode still?

Have you tried running it in Compatibility Mode? (Is there even a Win95 Compat Mode, for that matter)?

Hi Tawmis, yes there is a win95 compatability mode in vista. So the problem with virtualbox is there are no guest additions for win95 so no joystic or mouse support in game- not a good solution. Have you been able to get it to work in vista?

I don't have A10 II... I only have the first one, myself.
