1602 AD and Windows XP

Here's the procedure how to install 1602 AD under Windows XP:

1. Create a folder [ANNO1602] on your harddrive.
   
   
2. Copy all files of the folder [ANNO1602] on the CDROM except [MUSIC8] and [VIDEOSMK] into the new folder and remove the write protection.
   
   
3. Double click the supplied registry file to enter the information into the Windows registry.
   
   
4. Search the registry for ANNO1602 entry.
   
   
5. Change the value (drive letter) of the CDROM_DIR key into the CDROM drive to be used for playing.
   
   
6. Change the value (drive letter) of the INSTALL_DIR key into the harddrive with the [ANNO1602] folder.
   
   
7. Close the registry, create a shortcut to 1602.EXE and start. The 1602 CD must be put in.

And here's the procedure how to install NINA under Windows XP:

1. Never try to install directly because this would destroy the whole 1602 installation.
   
   
2. Copy all files of the folder [ANNO1602] on the NINA CDROM into the [ANNO1602] folder on the harddrive and remove the write protection.
   
   
3. Execute nos. 3 - 7 above.

Now install also Patch 5 to make your installation compatible with the KE.

Btw, the KE can be installed without these tricks.

All this works also with virtual CD drives.

	Enjoy it,
