Eliteone Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) 1. Install NOLF to a Windows XP 32 bit machine. 2. Apply all the patches and official mappacks to the install. 3. Copy the installed folder from the Windows XP Machine to your Windows Vista/7 64 bit machine (path is c:\Program Files (x86) Fox) 4. Browse inside the No One Lives Forever folder you copied over and right-click the nolf.exe and select create a shortcut and make the shortcut on your desktop. 4. Make a nolf.reg file of the following then double-click it to add it to your registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Monolith Productions] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Monolith Productions\No One Lives Forever] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Monolith Productions\No One Lives Forever\1.0] "WorkingDirectory"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Fox\\No One Lives Forever" "Version"="1.004" "Update Command Line"="-rez Nolfu003.rez -rez Nolfcres003.rez -rez nolfu004.rez" "Content Version"="1.002" "Content Command Line"="-rez Nolfc001.rez -rez Nolfc002.rez" To play NOLF simply put in your nolf disc 1 and double-click the shortcut you made. If you don't have access to a Windows XP machine and have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate you can visit HERE to download the Windows XP Virtual mode for Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate. If you have Windows 7 home editions or Vista make a post about your situation and we'll see about getting it sorted so you are able to play NOLF on your 64 bit computer. Possible alternative method (If an XP option isn't available) *Note I haven't tested this method yet* 1.Copy the contents from the "game" folder onto your hard drive. (Make a new folder in Documents named "NOLF" (copy the CONTENTS of the "Game" folder to the HD folder that you create, not the "Game" folder itself) 2. Enter the "data" folder on the cd, then copy the "nolf.rez" from both cd1 and cd2 into the folder you copied onto your hard drive. 3. Place cd in drive, or mount your image and launch the NOLF.exe.

Maiz Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 in my case it was not sufficient to add the registry entries but I had also to add the following line to the command line field of the first window when starting the game: -rez Nolfu003.rez -rez Nolfcres003.rez -rez nolfu004.rez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have Win 7 Professional you can download the XP mode for it and install your NOLF 1 there. Then copy it over to your Win7 Welcome to UHQ.

Eliteone Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Use this (create the reg file with it) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Monolith Productions] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Monolith Productions\No One Lives Forever] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Monolith Productions\No One Lives Forever\1.0] "WorkingDirectory"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Fox\\No One Lives Forever" "Version"="1.004" "Update Command Line"="-rez Nolfu003.rez -rez Nolfcres003.rez -rez nolfu004.rez" "Content Version"="1.002" "Content Command Line"="-rez Nolfc001.rez -rez Nolfc002.rez" Make sure you have your NOLF program in the Program Files (x86) directory. Browse to the folder afterwards and make a shortcut of the nolf.exe to your desktop to run the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k3nny1550 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I used method #2. v1.0 works like a charm. Not sure how to manually install the monolith updates though. Any way I can get around the virtual XP machine requirement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckoA51 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hi, I'm new to this forum having picked up NOLF in a charity shop recently. When I came to try and install it, I found that the installer itself was not compatible with 64 bit systems. The game however is perfectly compatible. I saw on here a lot of people were having trouble and having to jump through hoops like installing on an XP VM. I couldn't be bothered with that so I re-wrote the installer in NSIS. I've tested this on my PC and it works okay, but I'd appreciate others testing it for me. I also wrote a replacement installer for the patch 3. Patch 4 seems to install just fine so I didn't mess with that one. Anyway, the new installer is really simple, currently it only supports English but I am sure it could be modded easily to support other languages. The links to the files and source code are here:- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1488717/Install-NOLF.exe http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1488717/Install-NOLFUpdate003.exe http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1488717/nolf-new-installers-sourcecode.zip Please do let me know if this works for you and report any bugs.
