Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago Move from Linux -> Windows

Hey all, I have a quick question for you. I bought the series like a year and a half ago for Linux. I moved to Windows and want to beat all three before I play Amnesia. Now, my issue:
1. I installed the Linux version in a linux virtual machine and copied the install files down.
2. I downloaded the .exe files from (http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/ann...ent-4.html) and moved them to where the 3 binaries were.
3. I tried Overture. Worked perfectly. I tried the other two and they failed miserably.

I'm running Win7 64-bit. I tried them in Winxp compatability mode. Didn't help the other two. Like the 2nd game starts, tutorial works, but then dies right as I try to actually play the game (right after Loading...).

Any ideas?

I'm thinking maybe the directory structure is messed up maybe? Also, I didn't have a REDIST folder, so I put the .dll package right where the .exe's were so the exe files could hit them, and the games run. But, like I said, it crashes right after that. Sad

I'm a bit amazed Overture worked using your method.

BTW, if you purchased the game from the Frictional Games store, you should have the option to download the Windows version.
