So i bought the disk and tried to install the game - however when I click install - nothing happens.
Computer is a few months old so Windows 10 probably has something to do with it.
Ideas?
Andy

Good morning Mr. Townsend. Your mission Andy, should you choose to accept it, is to load FBPro98 on your computer using Windows 10. I would suggest going back to basics! Restart the computer to clear out anything running in the background for which you might not be aware, then try the install again. If that works, do not forget to install the upgrade to the game. As always, should any member of the Bills be accidently retired by Rich or lost from the database, the Commissioner will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This posting will self-destruct in ten seconds.
Good luck Andy.

When I put it on this W10 machine, I opened file explorer and executed the setup install file and it installed no problem. I do have compatibility set to Windows 98/ Windows Me.

No need to 'install' FBPRO98 anymore really. Go to this link, download the Win10 zip version, unzip it to the C drive, and it should work.

Make sure you create a desktop shortcut to the Hike file and make sure you add the dash L to the properties and make sure you set Compatibility mode to: Windows 98 / Windows Me.
