Install "Battlefield: Vietnam" on the Windows 11 Platform
I know it's an old game (2004) that is no longer supported by EA Games. I was going through my old software box and came across this title and thought I would try to load it and see what it would do. Well, THAT was a mistake! After discovering I couldn't run it on the W-11 platform, I searched the internet for a work around and found a patch that would supposedly make it run on W-11. I wanted to do a clean install before loading the patches and using iObit Uninstall, went through the steps of removing ALL folders and files related to EA Games & BF: Vietnam. I attempted to reload the full 3 disc game but when I clicked on "Autorun.exe) from within the disc-1, I was neither able to install NOR play the game (see attached screenshot). Again, at this point I was trying ti install the game with NO related files or folders on my SSD so I should have at least the option to install it. So I have 2 questions, 1) is there a safe work-around to get BF: Vietnam to run on W-11 and 2) Why am I having this removal issue? Again, I know this is an old game (as am I) and there are no longer any first person shooter games available for PC that I can find for the W-11 platform. Thanks for any info you have!
