Zork Nemesis/Grand Inquisitor

Posted by Greyfuss:

VII. MICROSOFT WINDOWS® 2000 AND XP USERS

In order for you to launch Zork Nemesis correctly, you will need to launch the program from your installation directory via Windows® Explorer

EXAMPLE:

C:\Program Files\Xplosiv\Zork Nemesis\Runnem.exe

Alternatively, you can..

1. Click-on the Windows START button in the lower Left-Hand corner
2. Choose the RUN option shown, and the BROWSE for the RUNNEM.EXE file.
3. Once you’ve located the RUNNEM.EXE file, you can then click-on the OK button to launch Zork Nemesis


For the fun of it I loaded my Xplosiv Nemesis on XP straight up without the aid of Compatibility Mode, Installed the game. Found the file RUNNEM.EXE in the Xplosiv Program File (as stated above), which by the way is a Activision installer file, you do not use the ZNEMESIS.EXE (also Activision) file which is the regular executable file that you would normally double click to start the game and the Zork icon. Started the game, watched the opening cinematics and played a few minutes.

What?

You may have a bad disk (or drive) - the thread I referenced stated that the game installed without issue.  I have the original DVD and CD versions of the game (not the Xplosive version) and have no problem installing what so ever.
