Kings Quest VII Wrong Version Error

Post by Samidare » Thu Sep 15, 2011 2:38 pm

so about a week ago I found my old Kings Quest 7 disk and it works perfectly. no scratches or anything the computer can run it just fine. I was super excited. Anyway I quickly discovered that I could not install the game using regular methods and found this link: http://www.sierrahelp.com/Patches-Up...nstallers.html and downloaded the installer. My issue is that image below. Is there anyway I can fix this?

Open the file "VERSION" in Notepad and post what's in it.

Then it should work. Is it possibly a localized version?

No problem. Is this not a US disk?

Thank you so much! It installed fully and so far chapter 1 has gone off without a hitch.
