D2k Sardaukar Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) This topic is for all the people who Google about this game and can't get it to install. I assume you have the English Dune 2000 CD (or .ISO file) with version 1. You will need to download: - Universal Extractor. link or portable version - Dune 2000 1.06 patch. link or from this forum - FunkyFresh adjusted DUNE2000.EXE link - FunkyFresh Dune 2000 Config tool. link Install the Universal Extractor (v1.6.1). Run it and select the SETUP.Z archive from the CD at \DUNE2000\SETUP\ Change the extraction location to, for example, your standard games folder. If asked, pick the i3comp extraction method and press OK. This should give 2 folder; API and DUNE Go to the newly created DUNE\Data\ folder and paste from the CD these folders: MISSIONS, MUSIC and MOVIES Now run d2k106us.exe (to update the game). You need to manually paste in the DUNE folder location to unzip to. If you did it correctly the DUNE folder will now contain a D2KPATCH_README_106.TXT file. Lastly paste the FunkyFresh files into the DUNE folder and overwrite the EXE file. Start the Dune 2000 config tool and select a higher resolution if desired. Fire up DUNE2000.EXE and enjoy the game!

gdiddy Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Thank you for this thorough tutorial! I've successfully followed all of your steps except for the enjoy the game part, lol. I've been able to launch the game and get to the "start" option, but when I select any house, I get an installation error. For example, I select a mission for Atreides and select "start" and get "please reinstall file not found_a1v2.mis." The cd is still in the drive, and I verified that the file did copy to c:\games\dune\missions. I am running windows 7 home premium 64bit.

D2k Sardaukar Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 @gdiddy A bit late, but uhh... did you get it working eventually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Many many thanks for doing this brilliant bit of work!.Everything went really smoothly, Windows needed to download and install two extra items (sorry, I don't remember which) and I had to try one or two resolutions before everything worked properly. But now it's like the Goodl Old Days again! I am soooooooooo happy. Keep safe (from a sunny England in sort of lockdown). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callumd96 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hi, I'm trying to install on Windows 10 from an original Dune 2000 disc. I've followed all of the steps but one (I'll explain) and have been able to at least start the game up, but as soon as I try to start a new game, I get the message 'this is a spawned game. Please insert the game CD and restart' or something to that effect, even though I have the disc in the tray. I reckon that the problem is with the Funky Fresh Dune 2000 file, as I can't install that properly. I've tried several times but just get the following: 'could not install as file mss32.dll could not be found. Installing again may resolve this issue'. Again, this isn't copied out verbatim, but that's the jist of it. Has anyone else experienced issues with the funky fresh files? Can anyone suggest a way around this? Cheers in advance, C.

lyssa73 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Thank you! This almost worked! As soon as I click start mission, I get this error: BlitClipTImage - image is NULL (2) [ gGameTicks = 0 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hello @callumd96 and @lyssa73, sorry I don't know how to fix those problem. I think @FunkyFr3sh , the creator of the .exe and config, might be able to help.

If there is only the file "UI_ENG.R16", you can duplicate this file and rename it to "UI_ITA.R16". I tried this and so far the game seems to work good.

Latiron Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 After searching and reading many sites, I wish I had seen this one first. It is clear, concise, and to the point. I have copied and saved this into into my OneNote for future reference when I upgrade my computer. THANK YOU VERY much for doing this for the Dune community! You rock! Works great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
