Hello all!
I'm afraid the forum has been down now for almost 2 weeks. I have contacted SCROFT, though comms are slow.

Good seein ya mate! I sent an email out to SCROFT the other week - still no reply. In other news, I upgraded my system to a Win 10 x64 Pro machine and copied my SDOE installs over. They still work!

Ah good to know! I have not installed FS-WWI or SDOE from scratch in Win 10. Is that still possible?

I did try it a few years back. I don't remember how succesful I was. Since no registry entries are required to run the game succesfully I generally just dump everything from the CD to the HD. either from a backup or even the original CD.
I suspect that running the setup.exe in win98 compatibility mode might do the trick.
I have also played arround with Nglide to see how good the graphics were originaly. Interesting results. so far.

Howdy!
I opted for a fresh install of Windows 10. I have all of my games and files off the OS drive - and installed Win10 to a new M.2 SSD OS drive.
One big gotcha was that a lot of games and programs store prefs and save info into various places in your Users folder. I hooked my old OS drive back up and copied things out as I found I needed them. I also copied out my Start Menu shortcuts from my old OS drive - as I had many for games I wasn’t going to reinstall - but rather move over.
My SDOE installs fired right back up!

@blue six
Argon V's approach is the best. In my case I have gone nuts on cheap space. I have separate drives with my games on them (5TB). When I do any rebuilding I format only the sytem drive and install fresh to it. Before I do so I get a detailled and verified backup of C.
After reinstall I rename folders on trhe game drives with the extension .old I do the reinstall if needed to register the program in the system to the same folder name as before. relocate all the files from the old C (this is the tedious and variable process) then rename the new folder to .ins and remove the .old extension from the original folder. When everything goes well the newly installed game has all the mods and tweaks. You can now remove the .ins folder it served its purpose.. I did a full rebuild before Christmas and it took me 3 weeks to get all my games back to my prefered state.
Have fun!!!

@blue six, do you still have your SDOE installs on the other, older disk? If so, copy them over to your new Win 10 build. Edit the sdemon.ini files for them, to be sure the path is correct, and they should fire right up!
