Official "I got BI!" thread

Got my copy this morning.

Like the idea of installing straight over RTW install and being able to play either, depending on which disc you have in your drive.

My problem: I have installed and each time I try to start the BI game I get a window with this message.....

The Application has failed to start because MSS32.DLL was not found. Try reinstalling etc

Have reinstalled twice and still the same message.

RTW starts up ok.

Can anyone help me with this please?

Edit: I have now copied the file from the original install so don't get this window now, but now get........ Failed to initialize 3D audio

Got it today.

Works fine. WRE looks a killer, but am gonna start with the Sassanids..

With RTW however.. I can't seem to play Dacia, Armenia any more (they were already unlocked).. just get a CTD. Any ideas?

"The Application has failed to start because MSS32.DLL was not found. Try reinstalling etc"

I saw this message a number of times too. After the third time of: uninstall rtw, reinstall rtw, install BI, doesn't work, uninstall rtw and BI, and do over, I got in.

Most annoying. By the third install, the time seemed to take forevvvver...

BTW, when I picked up the box at the store, it was so light I had to make sure I wasn't getting one of those empty boxes you see that advertise the soon to arrive game. No map?????

I have it now and I will shortly install it. The manual is small enough, but the MTW features (in a modified form) like religion and civil war, which make a welcome return, are well described.

I was going to wait but I saw it on the shelf at Best Buy and couldn't resist. But I've got a Gallic campaign I want to finish first so I won't be installing it for a couple days.

But maybe I'll just break down and say phooey on the Gauls.

Got it. It is sitting next to me in a box begging me to take the afternoon off.
