GK2 Beast within on Vista 64

Post by fynxgloire »

Hi,
I did the install for all 6 cd's with the progrssive video build it.
How the heck to I run this game?
I keep getting an error message stating:
The program of feature"\??\D:\Games\DOS\Sierra\GabBeast\SIERRAW.EXE"
Cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available."

I tried running the included GK2CDE.BAT file in DOSBox and it says you cannot run this in DOS Mode.
Can someone give me a step by step instruction on how to get this to install properly and run?

thanks

You can't run the Windows version on 64 bit Windows. See this thread for help:

Thanks a lot,
however when I click on your link:
"New Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery DOSBox Installer"

I get a server 404 Page not found error message.
Is the link correct for that one?
I am now using DOSBox 0.73

Regards

Fynx
