I have an game that I liked very much while I was using XP. Lately, I upgraded to Vista. Now, I can't install it again on Vista. I was stuck for a while and then I found the answer on the net.

Jaws Unleashed works fine with Vista. It is the installer that is NOT doing a great job. I am using Jaws Unleashed with Vista and I can assure you that this game is working great.

The trick is to install the game manually by unzipping the CABs and then update the registry. Simply do as I did :


1- I did a copy of all the 3 disks in a folder named Majesco\Jaws Unleashed.
2- I unzipped all the CABs there and then deleted the CABs when done.
3- I moved the WMV files in a folder that I named "movie".
4- I moved the GDW files in a folder named "data".
5- I changed the "Jaws.exe" by a NO-CD fix I found on the net.
6- Like specified I did a REG file to indicate the location of the folders
by creating a new text file and copied that:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Majesco\Jaws Unleashed]
"Language"=dword:00000409
"ExecutePath"="E:\\Majesco Entertainment\\Jaws Unleashed\\"
"MovieFolder"="E:\\Majesco Entertainment\\Jaws Unleashed\\movie"
"DataFolder"="E:\\Majesco Entertainment\\Jaws Unleashed\\data"

7- I saved it as "A.REG".
8- Did a double-click on the file to MERGE the REG file and clicked "yes".
9- I did a double-click on "Jaws.exe" and started to play.

Simple as that.
