Title: illegal instruction in installer on XP Post by: John Reese on December 25, 2004, 10:37:54 am I can't install Ur-Quan Masters 0.3 on XP with the .exe I downloaded from sc2.sf.net. I get this error message:
--------------------------- 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem --------------------------- C:\DOCUME~1\DANREE~1\Desktop\UQM-03~1.EXE The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. CS:053f IP:0119 OP:65 63 74 20 61 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. --------------------------- Close Ignore --------------------------- Any suggestions?

Sounds like a corrupt EXE or an attempt to start the EXE from a 16-bit MS-DOS program. Check that the installer EXE has been correctly downloaded (it should be 987 kB) and make sure that you aren't starting it from a DOS application.
Title: Re: illegal instruction in installer on XP Post by: John Reese on January 04, 2005, 09:29:43 pm You're right. Apparently I right-clicked and saved an html file whose extension was .exe and apparently if you double-click on such a file, Windows will try to run it. Now that I've downloaded it right, it seems to work well.
