INSTALLATION

I can't find FFE in the shops! FFE was taken off the shelves due to a disasterous release of the game with lots of bugs.  Soon a shareware copy is to be released at the Eilte Club.
I try to install FFE but the installer locks up during sound installation If you selected 'Autodetect' it can sometimes cause the installer to lock up, enter details manually.
I can't run Frontier First Encounters from Windows, why not? FFE wasn't released for Windows, however you can download a windows version of the FFE execuitable and a great Windows FFE Setup program from Life on the Frontier.
The Install program won't work You must run the Install program in DOS mode only (not a DOS window).  Make sure that you're copy isn't corrupt.
What program do I run to Install FFE Make sure you Unzip all the files (eg.  FFE Disk 1, 2 , &3) to the required location and run 'INSTALL.exe'.  You're in business.
