Falcon 4.0 BMS startup problem - 07/09/13 11:27 PM

Heya - I'm having a problem with BMS. I just installed it after having this headache of a installation problem with F4.0 (had to run the damn OS in Safe Mode for it to install) and now if that wasn't enough every time I try to start the game, this happens:



First it tells me the application is not compatible with my system (Windows 7 Home Premium x64) and then it throws the second error in the image. Any ideas how to fix this? I'm an absolute fan of the F-16 and this just killed my afternoon.

You don't have to install 4.0, just point to the .exe on the CD. Check -Ice's outstanding install guide:

Doh! Uninstalling Falcon 4.0 and installing BMS directly from the CD helped. I feel like a dumbo now. Thanks, Pilgrim!

No problem. It's not an uncommon mistake. wink

Also, rest easy that Falcon BMS will work with 64-bit Win 7 OS. Good luck! And welcome to SimHQ and BMS!
