But recently I found a small tutorial on the ED forums, tucked away in a 4-page topic about Windows 7, and today I decided to test it on my work-PC.
Here are the steps to install Lockon: Flaming Cliffs in Windows 7.
Important: Every step needs to be executed with Administrator privileges!
Otherwise, some needed modules won't be installed.
- Install Lockon 1.0
- Install Flaming Cliffs
- Install Patch 1.12b for "LockOn 1.1: Flaming Cliffs" simulator
- Start Lockon and reboot when instructed. After rebooting, ignore the message that the Starforce driver is disabled.
- Install the Starforce Update
- Reboot
I have tested this on a legitimate Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RTM (the official final release version), and it works like a charm.
