Bagpipe Reader on 64-bit windows

1/5/2012

8 Comments

 
Bagpipe Reader will install without any problems on a 32-bit installation of Windows. On a 64-bit, it tells you that the setup can't run and that it needs a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the program. The program it is talking about though is the installation program - it is not referring to the actual Bagpipe Reader program.

To get Bagpipe Reader to install on windows 64-bit, extract the contents of the zip file below to   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bagpipe Player" 

Then open  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bagpipe Player\fonts" and cut all the files in it to   "c:\windows\fonts" 

Then create a Short cut on your desktop pointing to  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bagpipe Player\BGPlayer.exe "

Finally, set the short cut to run as administrator. 

and... "job done"

Sorry. I got lost. What did you mean by "cut all the files in it to c:\windows\fonts" ? Do I copy and paste into windows fonts?
