Guys, I have a complicated issue! 13 months ago, I let my friend make a copy of the Deus Ex Game of the Year Edition CD. I just checked it now, and don't think it worked out well. It's on CD-R and whenever I click the game doesn't pop-up but it just opens and shows the files. DirectX7, system, music, help, maps, and manual. Could you guys tell me the problem and how to fix it please? I'll greatly appreciate it.

In that map, there's an installer right? Click it.

And if not, create a folder in C: named "Deus Ex" or something, and copy all the files from the CD.

I'm sorry for this incompetance, but can you post screen shots and put heavy detail into this? You wouldn't have to do this if I was smarter, i'm sorry.

To me this sounds like youve not burned an image of the deusex CD, If you burned it as a image otherwise known as an ISO it would autorun and bring the dx installer up.

What you have done is dragged the DX files to cd. Still not a problem, all you do do is go into the cd by right clicking the cd drive in [my computer] and go to explore. Youll now see all files on CD just run the setup.exe

I already saw that with out using explore. And I have setup.int. instead of setup explose, and when I run it, a thingy pops up asking me what program i'd like to use from the web?

And I guess you don't have install.exe there?

by **~ô¿ô~Nobody~** » Mon Jan 15, 07 4:50 pm

I did not install DX for 5 years, however I reinstalled Winblows almost 20 times in that time.

What I want to say is, that you can just drag the cd content into a folder which you can call DeusEx, if you like.

by **IamTheYellowWizzard** » Mon Jan 15, 07 7:32 pm

No, and I already made the folder... Nothing's happening! :cry:

by **~ô¿ô~Nobody~** » Mon Jan 15, 07 7:49 pm

You need to go to the System folder in the DeusEx folder and double click at DeusEx.exe, then the game will start. In case it doesn't post the DeusEx.log.

by **IamTheYellowWizzard** » Mon Jan 15, 07 8:28 pm

I don't know what program to run it with.

by **Mastakilla** » Mon Jan 15, 07 8:49 pm

DeusEx.exe

by **IamTheYellowWizzard** » Mon Jan 15, 07 8:54 pm

How? I don't understand computers very well, I just know internet and Deus Ex. Explain with thorough details please! Also, remember that I didn't install it yet. It's only on my CD.

by **Cozmo** » Mon Jan 15, 07 8:55 pm

Open the DeusExSystem folder, in there is a Deus Ex icon that says DeusEx.exe.

by **IamTheYellowWizzard** » Mon Jan 15, 07 8:59 pm

Read my first post very well please. What program should I actually use? Paint, wordart, acrobat?

by **Cozmo** » Mon Jan 15, 07 9:56 pm

What're you trying to open? I would've thought if it was .exe then your PC would recognize it.

by **IamTheYellowWizzard** » Tue Jan 16, 07 1:09 am

DeusEx.exe , except myne only says DeusEx

by **VodunLoas** » Tue Jan 16, 07 2:03 am

Take a picture of the folder with the files. Press your 'Print Scr' button and paste in an image program and save as jpg and upload it here.

by **IamTheYellowWizzard** » Tue Jan 16, 07 3:00 am

I was considering that as an option, but I thought you guys knew what I was talking about. This made me 2 hours to get... Don't you just love Dial-up?

by **IamTheYellowWizzard** » Tue Jan 16, 07 3:03 am

Never mind, I got a blank screen. :cry:

by **Alex** » Tue Jan 16, 07 8:35 am

Ok.
Try this:

Then you can see which file is actually the .exe

A vague translation of that check-box text:

"Hide extentions of known file types".

My computer is run on a different format. And I don't speak Dutch. I'm sorry.

by **Alex** » Wed Jan 17, 07 4:01 pm

Different format? You mean another OS? And Allan translated it, so don't whine, and actually try it. If you don't try, don't expect us to help.

Do you want us to help you or not?
We cannot help you if you don't cooperate, sorry.

by **IamTheYellowWizzard** » Wed Jan 17, 07 10:02 pm

I'm sorry, I think i'm just going to buy the game. Once again, sorry for the incompetance.

by **Hanover Fist** » Sun Jan 21, 07 10:04 am

Forgiven.

by **IamTheYellowWizzard** » Sun Jan 21, 07 10:41 pm

If anybody bought the game recently tell me whre you bought it. I looked in EBgames, gamestop, and targer and still couldn't find it.
