RE: Falcon 4 installation & BMS 4.33 U1
Please leave me some address to ship to you my desktop together with my Falcon CD I have, in order to let you perform the install by some magic workaround.
Is this the only suitable way to solve my problem?I beg pardon for the ironic comment in advance, but please share my feeling to not be able to play BMS due to restrictions that I feel should not apply at least to me and in my case. I have tried everything, and nothing have worked out. We may assume that players playing BMS are not standard, profane computer users: therefore trust me if I say, again, that I have tried everything, by going the right way as I intended to follow, but nothing appears to work.
I would have preferred that the development of a āmodernā setup.exe to the Falcon 4.0 CD was a possible way, but I see that this is not being considered; probably because I am the only one affected by this problem. This let me feel somehow unlucky!
Nevertheless, I suggest to stop this discussion here, since, on the other hand, I feel that my problem must not affect the community and the BMS agreements. I understand perfectly the position of BMS in this matter.
Thank you for your work and efforts, really!

RE: Falcon 4 installation & BMS 4.33 U1
Iām sorry to add to this discussion at this point, the premise is that I did not see the post from Frederf, but may imagine that he suggested some methods to overcome my issue.
I have original material that simply do not install on my Win10, and the method of safe mode do not work either. In all cases, the provided setup.exe will not show up anything. It might be some drivers, it might be some authorization issue, it might be some reason difficult to track down. I only know that my CD works well on my smaller laptops (with XP) and on one older computer with win7. On the new one, with win10 64, it is refusing to work even in safe mode trick, and simply do not show up. I donāt think to be alone with this issue.
I respect the new policy of BMS and the copyright holder, but on the other hand, I do not understand why to not provide other method to get the install of Falcon 4.0 if a file endorsed in the past century simply do not work on some new systems, and install of the necessary condition to continue to use gratefully BMS as an extension to my Falcon 4.0 disk is pure matter of luck.
Just to be clear, if I am seeking help here on this forum is because I want to perform the install legit to the BMS directives, not to seek āother solutionsā that perhaps may solve my problem immediately elsewhere. If the idea of a āmanualā install of Falcon 4.0 is against the rules, I beg your pardon: but I want only to seek some solution to overcome the issues that a more than 15 old setup file is giving me on my system, and cannot think any other āconventionalā methods to satisfy the new BMS requirement I have already tried. But please help me out somehow.
It is possible that I am really the only one having this problem even in safe mode?
Thank you. -
RE: Falcon 4 installation & BMS 4.33 U1
Hi all,
unfortunately I have no luck at all. The setup.exe does not start, freeze at 0% as many here on my Win10 64. I tried every compatibility configuration and in safe mode, but also there the setup does not start after the autoexecute CD install screen (which starts setup.exe). Same thing from CD and if I copy all the stuff to HD to launch from there.
I have only one active account on my computer, the admin.
Some suggestions?
Is there an alternative installer for Falcon 4.0?
May I copy the CD files on the HD and do a .reg file exist with the registry setting to āmanualā complete install?Thnx for any help you may provide me!
