Posts from Where can I download Heroes 2? Auto-translated

Hi everyone! I have the same problem with the blue screen!

Okay, lionheart, I had the same issue. In the folder C:\HEROES2\, there's a folder called "install." I launched it and started just pressing "Enter" (basically, anything). Then I ran the .exe file again, and it worked.

Damn, it didn't help me either; it only works on Windows 2000 Professional.

try the previous suggestions... if that doesn't work, try installing a second system (like Win98 ME).

maybe Win98SE (there's no such thing as Win98 ME), I think they mean Millennium, but I wouldn't recommend installing it, as it's based on 98. Windows 2000 Professional is much more reliable, even though it's older, and Heroes 2 runs on it without any issues... (by the way, WinXP is based on the kernel from 2000).

maybe win98se (not me, there is no such thing as win98)

of course, I meant 98 or ME (Millennium).

I have the same issue.

I had the same problem, but I have Vista Ultimate installed.
And it won't even run on XP.

Guys, to play Heroes 2 on XP, you need to change the sound settings. I felt a bit nostalgic; I remember really enjoying this game back then. Now, I had to go through so much trouble just to get it running, and in the end, I realized it's not as fun as I remembered... :D Even compared to the third game, it's a bit difficult to play; everything feels too primitive... :) In the installation file, you need to set the music to MIDI and install some drivers for digital and MIDI, and then the game will run.

In the previous thread, I posted the Platinum version; I don't understand why people are not satisfied with it. It might not be immediately available for download from the deposit, but at least it's a complete Russian version...
P.S. And for those who live in St. Petersburg, I can burn it onto a disc and hand it over...

Please tell me what to do next. I downloaded Heroes 2 as an archive, extracted it to drive C in a folder I created called Heroes 2. There, the following files appeared: ANIM, HELP, SOUND, DATA, GAMES, HEROES2, MAPS, heroes2, EDITOR2, HEROES2, and a shortcut called heroes2. What should I do next? I have Windows XP. When I go to EDITOR2, the map opens normally, and I can build my land. But the game itself doesn't open. When I click on the largest heroes2 file, a gray screen appears with some hieroglyphs and three options. If I click on the first option, it asks me to enter a name. If I click on the second option, it counts down percentages. If I click on the third option, it takes me back to the desktop. I read that I need to put wing32.dll in the system32 folder. Where is wing32.dll, and how do I install it? I'm a beginner.

Well, if you've read the instructions, try extracting this file to the C:\Windows\System32 folder and then launch Heroes.

Don't forget that the uploaded file is an archive, so you need to extract it.

I saved it and extracted it to the location you mentioned, and should I leave the main game archive on the disk?
So, I extracted the main game archive to c:\heroes, and what you sent to System32?
If that's the case, I did it, but nothing changed.

I went into the Heroes folder, clicked on installation, and a window with the main menu opened, offering three options:
1. Change music preference
2. Change sound card configuration
3. Save changes
I clicked on the third option, and then everything closed, and when I clicked on the game, a purple screen appeared.

I clicked something in the installation, and it started working, but then it crashed.

I'm playing! I'm playing! I'm playing!))))))))))))))

Thanks! I downloaded Heroes! I'm really into it!

Does anyone know how to open the console in Heroes 1 and 2? I really need to know!

Hello everyone! I followed all the instructions, but a black screen appears, and then it says "CD error"! What should I do? Help!
