I've got a problem installing the game.
First, it IS compatible with XP right?

I run the SetUp and I fill out all the info (name, company etc) and it just stops doing anything after that. Any ideas about what's wrong?

I downloaded SimTower from this website. I got it to work, but after I save about, let's say, 20 times it gives me an error message that says "Disk full" or close to that and won't let me save anymore. It won't even let me save new games.

You need to use the Compatibility options to run it properly.

Question

Yay, awesome game! Now, I just need my cleaning team to work.

I build a Housekeeping team (or 3) build srvice elevators, put the teams on the same floor and my hotel Suites still get messy.

Help plz.

Don't build too many housekeepings, that'll make the existing ones go lazy.
Depending on how broad your tower is, one housekeeping every two or three floors will do when you connect them with a service elevator.

when i try to run setup.exe i get "The image file blahblahblah\SETUP.EXE is valid, but is a machine type other than the current machine"
i assume that's because i'm using xp x64?
i tried messing with the compatibility settings, but same thing
any suggestions?
there is only a windows version of this game, yes?

i think its with old version of windows installer
try unpacking this installed version. the game itself is installed in C:\Simtower and there are some files which go to windows and windows\system

the direcotires with files in the archive are made exactly in the same way as they are supposed to be put on a hdd, begining with "c" drive

pick any archiver you like
zipped 2.2 mb
rared 1.7 mb
self extracting exe 7.4 mb (for those who cant update archiver for any reasons)
