Sister Twi 2019-02-28 15 pointsHello. I ran into 2 problems when trying to install this and I found solutions for both of my problems. I hope these solutions help you guys as well!Firstly, do not use Daemon tools. I couldn't mount CD2 and CD3 because of this program, so I instead used WinCDEmu ver. 4.1, which works better and can mount both of the discs.The other problem I ran into was my Setup.exe wasn't launching after I closed out of it once. This is what I did to resolve the issue.
First of all I want to say that this thread is amazing. I'd never been into the Silent Hill series until now. I followed the Silent Hill 2 for PC guide and it looks so good. Game is amazing and an improvement to the original which I played previously. An instant favourite for me.
I went under Setup.exe Properties, went over to compatibility, selected to run on Windows 98/ Windows Me and checked marked to run as an Administrator. Then it works.For newbies who need more help for installing.Mount Disc 1, run the setup.exeThe installation will get around 26% and then asks you to insert Disc 2.
Unmount Disc 1 at this time and mount Disc 2 IN THE SAME DRIVE YOU MOUNTED DISC 1. Then once that installation reaches a certain percentage again, it will ask for Disc 3, which you, of course, unmount disc 2 and mount disc 3 on the same drive. Once that is done, it requires you to place disc 1 back in. Unmount disc 3 and mount disc 1 on the same drive. It will ask you if you want to install Direct X update, DO NOT install that update.Lastly, this PC port is very buggy, so I recommended using the Silent Hill 2 Enchantment fan patch. This fixes everything that is wrong with this port. There is a good YouTube video on how to install it if you need help.I hope this helps:).
