(This one has a red circle with a white x through it) The BLADES OF AVERNUM.EXE file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:GetLongPathNameA Those two things pop up. I am running Windows95 if it matters. Posts: 6 \| Registered: Saturday, April 5 2003 08:00
Wizard Infiltrator Member # 760	written Friday, June 4 2004 06:09 Profile #1 Looks like Win95 can't run BoA because the name of the exe is too long...make the name shorter like boa.exe and see if it helps -------------------- "The Darkness Shall Return!"

Djur Revolutions Babelicious Member # 3149	written Friday, June 4 2004 09:21 Profile Homepage #2 No, what that means is that BoA is linked to a function exported in KERNEL.DLL that isn't in AaronC's KERNEL.DLL. BoA was probably built on a later version of Windows than Win95. -------------------- I've got a pyg in a poke. Posts: 999 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00

AaronC Apprentice Member # 2846	written Friday, June 4 2004 11:50 Profile #4 Ok, thanks. Guess some games just don't work on Win95, but it's wierd that games like Half-Life work and this doesnt. Posts: 6 \| Registered: Saturday, April 5 2003 08:00
ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Friday, June 4 2004 13:54 Profile #5 But it says on the spidweb site: Win 95 or later. So whatever is missing, it can't be due to your windows version. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 \| Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00
Rupert Agent Member # 618	written Friday, June 4 2004 14:26 Profile Homepage #6 Check out WindowsUpdate and see if they have a patch. Possibly just some glitch. However, I would like to gloat about Microsoft having to put Win95 patches back on that site. In yo face Mr.-Bill-Gates-man! :D [ Friday, June 04, 2004 14:27: Message edited by: FatBatMonkey ] Posts: 1487 \| Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00
UA Infiltrator Member # 154	written Wednesday, June 9 2004 04:50 Profile #7 The fact that 95 is quite similar to 98 (but with quite a number of subtle differences) means Jeff probably said 95, thinking it'd work on it because it runs fine on 98, but one of the subtle differences is used by BoA without Jeff realising. I seem to recall a problem with GetLongPathNameA() before, and believe there is a suitable replacement function which exists in 95. :) -------------------- Apparently still annoying.

Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Friday, June 11 2004 01:54 Profile Homepage #9 If it doesn't work on 95 you'll have to get a later version of windows. It works for 98SE, or you can just find a copy of the file that you need and put it into your WINDOWS folder. The system won't pay any attention to it - But BoA will. just an idea... :rolleyes: -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

And it's essentially the core of windows. So if you replace it, you'll probably totally muck up your system. -------------------- Apparently still annoying.
