EDIT: Problem solved by installing in Windows 10 Safe Mode.
I have been trying to install the original Falcon 4.0 from CD on my Windows 10 x64 system. Regardless of whether I’m starting the autorun.exe directly from the CD, from a copy of the CD on my local harddrive, from an .iso created of the CD, or via LAN from the CD inserted into my laptop, after clicking on “Set Up Falcon 4.0” in the autorun menu, nothing happens (except I can see that the “32-bit Setup Launcher (32-bit)” becomes listed in the Task Manager under Processes). Running Setup.exe directly yields the same result.
I have tried setting autorun.exe and Setup.exe to run as administrator and in any compatibility mode available without success.
On the contrary, on my laptop which is still running Windows 7, I can install the game just fine directly from CD without fiddling with compatibility settings.
Has anyone been able to install the game onto a Windows 10 x64 system using the original CD, and if so, how?
If this is not possible, would BMS 4.33.1 work if I just copied the Falcon 4.0 folder installed on my Laptop to my PC?
