Ok i got the game to work in XP. Here is how I made it work. Everything appears to work except for the cut scenes; these should be on youtube. Here is the intro video on youtube:

You will need either the CD of the game or the iso file that you can mount with daemon tools lite.

You will need a file called "SOTHR.reg" found on this site:
http://www.oldgames.sk/en/game/warha...download/2435/

You will need the game file found on abandonia which contains some of the source files:
http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/26...orned+Rat.html

(1) I created a folder on my desktop I named temporaryfolder and unpacked the abandonia files to it.
(2) Copy RMORPH folder contents to your windows\system32 folder.
(3) Create a folder called C:\GAMES folder and Copy WARFB folder to C:\GAMES
(4) Create empty folder TEMP inside WARFB folder.
(5) Create folder UPDATE inside WARFB folder.
(6) Create folder BINARY inside WARFB\UPDATE folder.
(7) Copy only files (not the folders!) from \WARFB\FILE\BINARY to
C:\GAMES\WARFB\UPDATE\BINARY folder.
(8) Run file SOTHR.reg to register required dlls.
(9) In your WARFB folder set for game executable compatibility option
"Run in 256-color mode".
(10) Copy files from \WING\ directory to Windows\system32:
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WING.DLL"
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WING32.DLL"
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WINGDE.DLL"
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WINGDIB.DRV"
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WINGPAL.WND"
(11) Run the game from the CD

EDIT / IMPORTANT

If you run ccleaner or a similar program it will detect errors in your registry. If you "fix" these, you will need to run the SOTHR.reg again.

(10) Copy files from \WING\ directory to Windows\system32:
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WING.DLL"
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WING32.DLL"
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WINGDE.DLL"
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WINGDIB.DRV"
"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\WINGPAL.WND"

Or just properly install the WinG API. We've got an installer in the Programs section.
