Good idea, but nope. I clicked RENAME and it had only one suffix.

Re: Can't install PBP v2.46 on Windows 10
Can you run a DOSbox and cd into that directory. Check the directory listing to see the exact filename for PBP246. Renaming via the Explorer may not be ideal as the double extension might still be there.
Whatever it be, double clicking the PBP246.exe in explorer should actually launch the application unless WINX has smarted to not allow double extension files to run.

Re: Can't install PBP v2.46 on Windows 10
Hi,
I don't know but newer versions of Windows does all kind of wierd things with virtual folders etc behind the scene.
I suspect the problem is that you've installed it directly under C: instead of in the Program (x86) folder. I'd try removing it and re-installing where Microsoft thinks is the "right" place.
With that said, on my W7 machine I have it installed in C:\PIC\PBP and it works just fine.
/Henrik.

That's what I don't get Henrik. My old gamer was Win 7 64-bit, I would assume Win 10 64-bit would be the same. I guess not.
Opened X86 DOS window, manually did same commands as the INSTALL.BAT that came along with PBP v2.46 CD and it doesn't decompress as expected.
Even set PBP246.EXE to run as ADMIN, tried both Win7 and Win XP sp2.

Re: Can't install PBP v2.46 on Windows 10
Recopied all my stuff back from CD into c:\PBP folder, editted INSTALL.BAT with new names, and same sort of error.
I really wanted to figure this out but I'm about to give up and just get PBP v3 Gold and be done with it.

Re: Can't install PBP v2.46 on Windows 10
The README kept mentionning "files being uncompressed", so I renamed the file to PBP246.ZIP,
and VOILA! It unzipped all files as expected. Just gotta test to make sure things are all ok, but everything looks fine.
EDIT: PBP v2.46 patched and updated to v2.60c without problems.

Re: Can't install PBP v2.46 on Windows 10
So now that I have it working, I bought the $50 upgrade to PBP v3 from MeLabs. :lol:
The part that sucks is that the next time I have to install, I'll have to go through:
- install v2.46,
- patch,
- upgrade to v2.60,
- patch,
- upgrade to v3.0,
- and most likely patch again (no idea where v3 is at)
I might figure a BAT file to do it all at once.
