Help starting Barbarian Invasion (MSS32.DLL was not found)

[Jochi Khan]

I just got Barbarian Invasion, installed it, and tried to play but I got a message "Thi application has failed to start because MSS32.DL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I re-installed the game several times, waiting impatiently for it to be reinstalled each time, only to get THE EXACT SAME MESSAGE EVERY TIME I REINSTALLED IT.

Can anybody help me in order so I can actually play the game I just spent a lot of money on?

Hi Horatius

I can solve your problem for you.
Go to the Apothecary and read the thread Problem Installing BI10-12-05

I have given the information how to solve it there.

DO NOT copy the mss32.dll file from your RTW folder to your BI folder, it will create a failed to initialize 3D audio error.

Edit: To make it easier, go to where your RTW folder is installed. (May be in Activision or Game folder)
If you see a RTW folder in there and BI files and folders, then drag and drop all into the RTW folder.
You should now be left with only a RTW folder in the Activision or Game folder.
Open the RTW folder and you will see all the BI related things in there. There should also be two icons, one for RTW and one for BI.
The game will now run.

Happy hunting
