Police Quest 4: Open Season Configuration

Post by DarthGuybrush »

I have installed the Police Quest Collection Series (2006) and the DOSBox Installer. When I attempt to run the install.exe program for PQ4 (talkie) it gives me the following error:

ERROR: Can't find text entry for 'VESA.DRV'
This can be caused by a missing INSTALL.TXT or INSTALL.HLP file: TEXTDICT.CPP(143)
Abnormal Program Termination

I opened the install.hlp file and noticed there is no select for vesa.drv, I assume this is why the install program is borking on me?

I know I can change the selections through RESOURCE.CFG, just wondering how to get the install program to work or if there is a fixed version for it?

Thanks for the catch. If more people would report errors, my installers would only get better. Unpack this ZIP into the PQ4 directory.

I will be recompiling the patch with the replacement files to fix it.
