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

Fynx

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
