Fix for the false “needs at least 30 MB of disk space” warning

1. Download FbPro98-diskspace.sdb (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yStCwEodA2bU8Zvz3qo2kXqSszuEi9h8/view?usp=sharing) and save it somewhere, such as a "C:\PNFL\Utilities\FbPro98 disk space fix".
2. Click Start, type cmd, right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
3. Change the path to where you saved the file and run the install command:
   

   Code: Select all

   cd "C:\PNFL\Utilities\FbPro98 disk space fix"
sdbinst FbPro98-diskspace.sdb

If you ever want to uninstall it, run the same command with -u:
This is not a hack or a patched game file. Windows ships a compatibility fix named EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace specifically for this disk space issue. Installing the .sdb file just tells Windows to apply that fix to Hike.exe. I made the it with Microsoft’s own Compatibility Administrator tool. It changes nothing in the game folder and it's fully reversible.

Disclaimer: The warning was not showing up for me at the time I created this fix of course, so hopefully it actually works.

I will try that tomorrow. It would be greatr to get rid of that thing.

Brian,

You are the man!. Worked on the very first try. Thanks again! Larry

Ran it. Hope it works. Won't know for a day or so obviously.

Every launch of FBPRO for me requires me to mount the ISO *only way I could get it to work on WIN11), so at least we'll know soon if it works in this situation.

THANKS!!!

This is a separate issue. Even with game settings applied so the game CD isn't required, the game still checks that the system has an optical drive for copy-protection. Mounting any ISO works.

Been a day or so. No sign of the 30MB pop up message. You truly solved it!
