#HOW TO INSTALL TIS2000 ON WINDOWS 10 INSTALL#
If all went well, after the lengthy install process, TIS2000 should be installed and should start.From the directory where you have extracted TIS2000, run the "autorun.exe" and things should install.Put a copy of 32-bit "setup.exe" wherever you now have a 16-bit "setup16.exe".Download a 32-bit instance of the InstallShield "setup.exe" you might be able to find one on the official InstallShield website or you might need to use "another site".Use "dir /s /b" to list all the instances of "setup.exe" and rename them to something like "setup16.exe" (just leave them there for reference).Unpackage the TIS200 package (extract) using tools such as "7-zip" (freeware available online).Fortunately the installers use "InstallShield" and the 32-bit installer is a single small program called "setup.exe" which you use to replace the older 16-bit installer called. So how can you make it work? We have to replace all the 16-bit installers with a newer 32-bit version.
use "rmdir /s " to delete the entire directory where you tried to install TIS2000 ("c:\program files (x86)\cosids" is the normal default).WARNING - Mess up your registry and your machine might never boot again so be careful Use "regedt32" to delete the registry tree for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\GM".Delete the Windows service entries for "COSIDS_TB" using "sc delete COSIDS_TB" from an administrative command prompt.From the Windows Task Manager, stop the "TB server".It will fail because part of the install process uses 16-bit installers and 64-bit Windows won't run 16-bit programs but you can make it work if you are happy to do a little computer work here's how:įirst off, if you make a mistake, you need to clean up before you retry the install and you need to do this: If you have an old copy of TIS2000, you will find it won't install on modern 64-bit Windows.
