Can't Install Castaway From CD

Hello all,

I've looked online and have found instructions on installing the game but none work for me. I'm trying to install the game from the CD and when I go open the file, there isn't a .exe folder that's being mentioned. I've no idea what to do. Can anyone help me please?

  • Hi :)
    I got mine out to see what's up ... there is the AutoRun.exe (Application)
    I was able to get it to start installing by double clicking on the AutoRun

    *Not the folder but the .exe

    When I click on autorun it doesn't do anything.
  • Hm, ... When you click on your Drive to "Open" is there the option "Open Autoplay?"
  • Right-click the Autoplay and choose properties, then compatibility, then Windows XP (SP3). Click apply. Then click 'Run as Admistrator'. That should do it! (Sorry if I got a couple things wrong, I haven't used Windows in a while :p )
