editor for 3.1...I am quitting trying to get it to work!

I have had enough! I spend countless hours installing and reistall winG 
and Win32S, downloading and redownloading. Yet all I get when I try to 
run the editor is:

win32s-error

one or more system components is of older version. re-install.

and then:
error--this program requires war2ed95.exe, which is not found in the 
program directory.

If I don't wind up with it working soon, I'm  going to not only go 
insane but install windows '95 just so it will work!!!!!!!!!!!
HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey man, I have simpathy for you. I have been going through the same 
problems. I don't think that it is necessary to get win 95 to get this 
damn editor to work. I just think that someone with a kind heart should 
explain his editor installation victory step - by - step to us 
unfortunate souls.

This may help if all else fails.  The editor runs fine on my Windows for 
Workgroups.  Some months ago, I bought a game magazine that came with a 
CD ROM containing demos.  (Can't remember the rag's name, but any should 
do, as the files you need are increasingly used by new Windows games.)  
Well, one of the games made use of the WinG and Win32 .dll files, I think 
it was Activision's Shanghai, and the demo manager advised that it had to 
install these... 

Flash forward a few months: I buy Warcraft II, and the editor works 
perfectly.


Good luck,


Richard

I had the same problems. I just couldn't get the editor working. Then my 
system had a near-fatal heart attack (unconnected to the editor) and rather 
than re-install DOS, Windows and all the millions of upgrades for Windows I 
had scattered over loads of disks I thought 'Bugger it' and installed Win95. 
I'm not a huge '95 fan, but at least I could use the editor. Using '95 (on a 
P90) I found that the game and especially the sound was jerky running in a DOS 
box, but worked fine if you set it to go to DOS mode first. The only problem I 
had was my cheap'n'tatty SB16 clone sound-card. If I was running in a DOS box 
under '95 it appeared on one set of interrupts, in DOS mode a different set, 
and half the time didn't work in either. In the end I bought a geniune SB16 
and now everything works perfectly.

Are you downloading "per1118.exe" (Win32s) & "wing10.exe" (WinG) ?
If so :
Put each in a separate directory on C: drive.
Execute them to unzip the files to the directories.
Run "setup.exe" or "install.exe" (whatever the reeadme files say) and it is all automatic.

If you have done that; sorry.
