Sorry to reply after a decade, but this actually made sense, but now:
m,mmmm....and how you managed to run it before, cause, you see, i managed to run the setup.exe, in my win 11 machibe, it was blocked by another process and with a trick in the task manager i shutted down said process and the setup opens, but at 99% loading, an error message pops, "F/A 18 is incompatible with windows NT4", i installed it on win xp on virtual box, but it turned out to be useless because in this particular game moving the directory to another computer is a no go, i copied de registry, installed in a similar path than in virtualbox on the real machine, but no, keeps giving errors of not finding dat files....i cant even try this method because of the setup not running, any idea?? thanks.
in compatibility mode it doesnt even opens....i managed to run IAF, USAF, and F-15, but F-18 is a nightmare
