Okay, so the game won't start because it is 'linked to missing export SHELL32.DLL: SHGetFolderPathW'. It MIGHT be the fact that my graphics card isn't supported anymore ...

I don't know, I tested the demo [wich already was 1.4 at the time (Sat Dec 08, 2007) iirc].

Ok, I downloaded the patch, extracted the exe from the installer : the problematic import (SHGetFolderPathW) is still present in 1.04 !

Okay, I just got some confirmation on a few things: the language system I use, in order to remain cross-platform compatible as well as 98/ME compatible does not nor will ever support non-ASCII paths. Maybe you missed my post but Eschalon doesn't work with Win98SE : http://www.basiliskgames.com ...

About the language issue : why is "My Documents" hard coded ?
Why not use SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() with CSIDL_PERSONAL ?

1. Use your favorite HexEditor (PsPad [free] for example).
2. Search for 'SHGetFolderPathW' in the executable.
3. Replace with ...
