    Installation file. I'll just go ahead and name all the files in the installation file. The only one that says .exe in it's properties tab is the file I mentioned above, "setup".

    compress.dc_
    mdata11.md_
    mordor.wip
    setup
    setup.lst
    setup1.ex_
    setupkit.dl_
    unwip.ex_
    vbctl3d.vb_
    vbrun300.dl_
    ver.dl_
    waves.wip

    Right click on setup.exe, then Properties, then Compatibility tab.
    Change compatibility mode to Windows 95. OK your way out.
    Double click on setup.exe to run it.
    After the game is installed, you should see the game .exe file, most likely unwip.exe (what is the name of the game?)
    Change game's .exe file compatibility to Windows 95, and try to run it.

      setup1.ex_ doesn't have a compatibility tab neither do any of the other files I listed, only the setup bootstrap blah blah blah one does. setup1.ex_ and all the other files except setup, say they open with Windows Shell Common.

      The game is Mordor 1.1 Depths of Dejenol.

        I just found the no install version online. Changing the compatibility still doesn't work. I get the same <censored>.

        I guess I'll keep the file and wish I were playing IT. Almost as good.  :'(

        <censored>can't swear can I? You all know what I really want to say.

        DARN YOU VISTA!!!!

        Where did the game come from?

        http://mordor.uni.cc/forum/Legal-status-and-availability-of-Mordor-11-t3674.html

        The full version of Mordor 1.1 is not available for download from this site, and members who don't want their wrists slapped in metaphorical internet irons (cursed ones which will cost you a few million gold to remove) will not provide links to any illegal "abandonware" or other site offering it.

        You can obtain the game legally by buying it from Decklin at his Domain here.

        Please stop asking where to obtain the game for free - it's not going to happen!

          No worries. I downloaded the shareware version from that same site, I guess I mixed it up with Mordor 2 which is sorta full but they abandoned it and changed the series name along with pretty much everything else. The shareware version is huge. It should keep my occupied until the MordorXP which is freeware.

            OK. I tried to register 6 times, and every time I got this:
            Your AntiSpam answer was incorrect, please go back to the registeration form and a new question will be presented.
            So maybe you can download it for me, and upload it here: http://www.filedropper.com/
            Post download link for me.

              I tried all kind of tricks, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get it to work.
              Double clicking on exe file does nothing.

                Darn. I wish there was a way to alter the source code of the game so that it would work on vista. Guess I'll just have to wait for Mordor XP.

                Thanks anyways everyone.
