Hello there,

so i just bought Heroes 3 complete and installed it, installed the universal update, after that the HD mod and updated it.

Now when i want to start Heroes 3 via the HD Launcher it says "The Binkw32.dll is installed in the windows or windows system directory - it must be installed in the application directory".

Now i checked the game directory and there is a Binkw32.dll. So i copied it to the system32 directory but that doesn't help. When i start the heroes.exe (not via hd launcher) the game just starts and works fine.

I also installed the Horn of the Abyss expansion and this expansion can be launched from the HD launcher without any error message.

So, what is the problem here? Of course i could play it from the original exe but the resolution looks pretty crap at my 1920*1080 screen.

PS I use Windows 7.

Thanks for your help.

Bye

Try this:

1. Reinstall game.
2. Reinstall updates/patches.
3. Update video card drivers.
4. Download and install RAD Video Tools : http://www.radgametools.com/down/Bink/RADTools.exe

1. tried, no solution
2. tried, no solution
3. i search for device updates every week
4. installed it, but nothing happened. is there more to do then just installing this RAD Tool?

greetings

Hello,

ok that sounds interesting. Let me try this real quick. I'll edit this post when i'm done and tell you what happened.

PS I installed Heroes 3 in C:\GOG...

Thanks and bye

edit: Holy cow! It worked! I'm completely amazed! I have to check the "NoCD/DVD" box but the game starts. Thank you very very much. You Sir, helped me a lot.

Bye
