Oh Dear Help

Post by Marna »

I have been a Ultima fan for oodles of years. I was very happy to see this program come out.

I am trying to get U7 to even install on my system, let alone download Exult.

Would someone please take pity on this 42 year old ding bat, who isn't as computer savy as she might like to think she is, and walk her through this?

I thank you -- Iolo thanks you, as well as those waiting for me in Britiannia:)

It depends what Ultima 7 cd you have, but the Ultima 7 Part 1 a nd 2 files should be in Zip Archives on the cd's.
Extract Black gate to something like C:\Ultima 7\BG
and Serpent Isle to something like C:\Ultima 7\SI

Then download an run the windows exult installer, it will guide you through the process after that.

Hope this helps.

The ones from Ultima Collection are not zipped. They can be copied straight to your hard drive, but I recommend you run the Ultima Collection Installation instead (NOT the install program in each game's directory!!).

Hehe, I have the complete Ultima 7 cd, I bought it when it came out, then I bought it about 3 years ago for $5, since I had lost my cd.
