June 29, 201312 yr As I'm not sure were to write this post, and I think it's not worth to begin a new topic, I think it can be placed here, because the Silent Hunter UK efforts to keep the game alive throught close examination of the iterations variants. This close examination has his results today, in the great revamp Tony has do in the HCE 2009-82, with a very impressive list of recovered features http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/topic/2395-hce-release-notes/page-11 The neutrals no detecting more enemy units for the player's side also speeds up the gameplay a lot! (as in WWII scenarios the neutral merchants reporting one and other time previously detected enemy units). Testing the drone scenario I see the gameplay is very improved. Thanks Tony!!!
June 29, 201312 yr I do not agree. This release is big enough by far to merit it's own topic. Please go ahead and open one, could be in General or under the Beta Testing and let's collect the new or rediscovered game play experiences there!
September 4, 201312 yr Author An update on this; I've been very busy lately and not been able to play, but am now on to the Windows versions.
October 30, 201312 yr Author Still no real going forward on this, but I'll make some time in the next couple of weeks.
April 28, 201412 yr Author Been going forward slowly; I've moved my Harpoon installation to my new PC, but it won't start up WinHarp 1.62. If I can't get it fixed without moving the installation back, I'll conclude my current scenario there and do a write up.
April 29, 201412 yr I've moved my Harpoon installation to my new PC, but it won't start up WinHarp 1.62. WinHarp 1.62 is a 16-bit application and will only run on 32-bit versions of Windows (or a virtual machine running such). You are probably trying to run it on a 64-bit version of Windows (which will not work without virtualization).
May 1, 201412 yr Several options exist, my preference would be VirtualBox by Oracle, https://www.virtualbox.org/ I think the 'professional' line of Windows also has some virtualization platform built in. For VirtualBox and Windows XP, there is a tutorial here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-1853121/setting-virtual-windows-machine-virtualbox.html
May 3, 201412 yr ... I think the 'professional' line of Windows also has some virtualization platform built in. ... Yep, Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate versions include "Windows XP Mode" which runs under the built-in Windows Virtual PC, link to the MS guide: Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 I run the SE this way myself.
May 5, 201412 yr Thanks. What about Windows 8? Windows 8 does not come with Windows XP Mode, only Windows 7 Pro, Enterprise, and Ultimate did. For Windows 8 you would have to use one of the 3rd party products. I used VMWare, TeTeT has suggested another.

May 5, 201412 yr Yes, you can run a 32 Bit Windows XP in a virtual machine provided by vmware on Windows 8. Note that you need an XP install medium (CD) and the install key.
