NT/WinXP users can get around the installer by manually installing the game themselves. Note however that you must have at least NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 in order to play the game. Also, Fallout should work fine but was not tested very much under NT.

1. First, create a folder for your game called fallout1/2 (ie c:\games\fallout1 or c:\games\fallout2).
2. Copy (CDROM):\program\win\falloutw.___ (Fallout 1) or (CDROM):\program\win\fallout2.___ (Fallout 2) to the folder you created and rename it to falloutw.exe/fallout2.exe.
3. Now you have four choices, depending on the installation size you want:

• * Small Installation: Do not copy anything else.
  
  * Medium Installation: Copy (CDROM):\master.dat (318MB) to your fallout folder (ie c:\games\fallout1 or c:\games\fallout2)
  
  * Big Installation: Copy Copy (CDROM):\master.dat (318MB) and (CDROM):\critter.dat (150MB) to your fallout folder (ie c:\games\fallout1 or c:\games\fallout2)
  
  * Humongous Installation: Copy Copy (CDROM):\master.dat (318MB), (CDROM):\critter.dat (150MB) and Copy the entire (CDROM):\data folder to your fallout folder (ie c:\games\fallout1 or c:\games\fallout2)

4. Create a text file in c:\games\fallout1 or c:\games\fallout2 called fallout.cfg or fallout2.cfg and add the following line to it, depending on your installation/game:

Fallout 1:
* Small Installation:
[system]
master_dat=(CDROM):\master.dat
critter_dat=(CDROM):\critter.dat
[sound]
music_path2=(CDROM):\data\sound\music
free_space=0


* Medium Installation:
[system]
master_dat=c:\games\fallout\master.dat
critter_dat=(CDROM):\critter.dat
[sound]
music_path2=(CDROM):\data\sound\music
free_space=0


* Big Installation:
[system]
master_dat=c:\games\fallout\master.dat
critter_dat=c:\games\fallout\critter.dat
[sound]
music_path2=(CDROM):\data\sound\music
free_space=0


* Humongous Installation:
[system]
master_dat=c:\games\fallout\master.dat
critter_dat=c:\games\fallout\critter.dat
[sound]
music_path2=c:\games\fallout\data\sound\music
free_space=0
* Small Installation:
[sound]
music_path2=(CDROM):\data\sound\music\

[system]
critter_dat=(CDROM):\critter.dat
critter_patches=c:\games\fallout2\data
master_dat=(CDROM):\master.dat
master_patches=c:\games\fallout2\data

* Medium Installation:
[sound]
music_path2=(CDROM):\data\sound\music\

[system]
critter_dat=(CDROM):\critter.dat
critter_patches=c:\games\fallout2\data
master_dat=c:\games\fallout2\master.dat
master_patches=c:\games\fallout2\data

* Big Installation:
[sound]
music_path2=(CDROM):\data\sound\music\

[system]
critter_dat=c:\games\fallout2\critter.dat
critter_patches=c:\games\fallout2\data
master_dat=c:\games\fallout2\master.dat
master_patches=c:\games\fallout2\data

* Humongous Installation:
[sound]
music_path1=c:\games\fallout2\data\sound\music\
music_path2=(CDROM):\data\sound\music\

[system]
critter_dat=c:\games\fallout2\critter.dat
critter_patches=c:\games\fallout2\data
master_dat=c:\games\fallout2\master.dat
master_patches=c:\games\fallout2\data

NOTE German version:
I just got word from fr33l that if you have the german version you also need to add:

language=german

under the [System] tab in the cfg file.


5. Next install the official patches for Fallout 1 or Fallout 2, it's easiest just to unzip/unrar them into the Fallout 1/2 folder.
6. Start the game by running the falloutw.exe or the fallout2.exe file.

You might have to enable the Compatibility mode to run the game, to do this:

1. Make a shortcut to the falloutw.exe or fallout2.exe file
2. Right click the shortcut, and select "Properties->Compatibility" and select either Win95,98

Gee they sure did make deathclaws look fucking retarded in FOT. I don't care if it's because they are different or something since it's a different region, a deathclaw is a deathclaw, mutated Jacksons Chameleon.

Caged Hulk looks like me when I lock myself out and realize that the very moment I let the door fall in the lock.

[rabidpeanut]

I just run the fallout setup in compatibility mode. that seems to work for me.

[Superhaze]

Works in vista.

[Caleb]

i miss the dos days...if you weren't smart enough to install/configure your pc correctly...you couldn't play the game

[Psychoul]

Works in vista.

Sure does! same with FO2.........and Fo:T, .

[Drunk_Squid]

Get the "reload" version, if it exists. Fallout 2 does, and it works fine with XP, even mods that didn't work with XP originally work with this new version made for XP (Fallout 2 though, not sure about the original, you should search for a different version online, i got mine at amazon for like $10).
