Hey all,

found another... bug? I guess it's a bug. Well anyway, when I installed my Space Quest Collection Series Collection using the installer found on this site, everything worked great except 2 of the games, Space Quest 1 VGA would launch and say "Error- cannot find SQ1VGA.bat" looking in the folder, there was no "SQ1VGA.bat" file, just one named "SQ1.bat", renamed it to "SQ1VGA.bat" and works great! also on my Space Quest V game it appears to open, then closes. Working on this one right now, will post my fix as soon as I can ^-^

Hi Everyone,

I just used the 1997 Space Quest Collection series installer from this site, and 2 problems, SQ1VGA wouldn't launch, but after a rename of a file, works great (posted about this in another thread) my main issue now is I can't get Space Quest V to even launch. I've uninstalled and installed the game via the install a few times and no improvements. If i remove the "exit" command/code from the DOSBox config file, the DOSBox window stays open and I get an error that reports "0.fon not found" but it's in the folder. any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached is my Diagnostics Tool log


Thanks everyone!

All ready been fixed. Redownload the installer.

You can't stop Collector. He's like the Collector-nator. "I'll fix that." (Said in Arnold's voice!)

Thanks collector! for the new installer. Space Quest 1 VGA works great now. but still no fixing love for Space Quest V

I found if I edit the resource file and change " patchDir = .\PATCHES" to " patchDir = .\" works great.

Hope that helps

You must not have done a clean install. The RESOURCE.CFG had already been corrected.

I used the games uninstalled found in the folder, and reinstalled... I'll give it another go to be sure.

Thanks

Ok tried it on my Windows Box at work, installer appears to have worked great Space Quest V is launching perfect ^-^ Great Job Collector!
