Equilibris download help for a non tech. PC person...

[flawton]

HI! New to the board... found this site looking for a way to play heroes5, but this Equilibris has me way more excited about continuing Heroes4.

But....

I've tried reading all the threads for download help. After downloading Equilibris, this is what I get;

some message about 'binkw32.dll'.

How can I get around this? I don't know my way around 'exe' files etc either, so be patient with me

I have the regular Heroes4 US version from 3do.

Thanks

Did you do everything instructed on Question 9 in
http://equilibris.celestialheavens.com/eng/faq.html
and you still have a problem?
Shouldn't cause a problem.
Never heard of a problem with a .dll

Hi.
I heared about this problem just couple of times. You should check if you have a file named 'binkw32.dll' (size=261120 bytes in my case) in the main Heroes-IV directory. If you need, I can just upload this file and you'll check if it solves your problem.

That's my problem... I wouldn't know what the directory is or where to look etc... do I have to download the 'binkw32.dll' file fron somewhere??? If you upload it, how do I get it? I told you I'm not very good with pc's

Ok, here is the step-by-step explanation. Find your Heroes shortcut which you use to launch a game. It can be on the Desktop or in Start->Programs menu. Right-click the shortcut. Choose 'Properties'. Properties window will open. Press 'Find target' button. Another Explorer window will open in Heroes-IV directory. Then go to 'View' menu, choose 'Details'. Search for 'binkw32.dll' and report what you find.

there appears to be a binkw32.dll file, 255kb listed as a application extention, last modified Jan. 28th, 2002.

Is this what you needed to know? There are lots of other files too....

File properties seem to be perfectly normal...
Does your ordinary Heroes-IV installation work? (start file 'heroes4.exe' from the same directory)
Try reinstaling Heroes-IV and then Equilibris (use FAQ - link in above posts)
PM me your e-mail if that does not help and error message remains the same.
