I have been unable to install Galimulator can i have some help please?

Developer

Sure, what's up, did you download and unzip the file somewhere? Which package are you using? What happens when you try to run it? Do you have a 64 bit operating system?

Yes i have unzipped it and i am using the windows package. When i double click on "galimulator-windows-64bit" my mouse shows the loading icon for like 2 seconds and changes back to the normal mouse icon. I think i have a 64 bit system since when i install 32bit winrar it says you are running 32 bit winrar on 64bit windows and for better performance install 64bit winrar. Btw i don't have a graphics card yet maybe thats the issue? 

Developer

Shouldn't be the graphics card thing ... Can you try opening the game from a command prompt? I'm interested to see what it prints on there.

I tried my best but i don't know how to use command prompt. I put galimulator into my windows folder just to be easier i did 

C:\Windows>\galimulator
'\galimulator' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Developer

Thanks for your effort! Yeah the prompt is not a friendly thing for those who are new to it ...

If you unzip everything in the windows folder, that's fine, though I'd delete it afterwards if I were you, just to not make an aesthetic mess, but that's just me :)

What you want to type next is:

galimulator-windows-64bit.exe

Or I think, just type "galimulator" and hit the TAB button, and it should auto-complete.

I have put the galimulator file into a file name 'Memeulator' which is in Local Disk (C:). This is everything i just tried after your last reply NOTE: this is not everything i have tried since i started this topic. Also a file named 'galimulator' with a whopping 0 bytes has been put into Memeulator as well although i don't know how it got there probably just a accident from trying to work command prompt.

OK good effort :)

What you need to do is put the file galimulator-windows-64bit.zip in the c:\Memeulator director then, unzip all the contents in there, you can do this through the usual file manager in windows. Now you should find yourself with a new directory called galimulator-windows-64bit within the c:\Memeulator. Now open a prompt and type:

cd c:/
cd Memulator
cd galimulator-windows-64bit

Now execute the executable file, like so:
galimulator-windows-64bit.exe

I did what you said and i believe that it did run it but nothing happened.

Yes looks like you did everything right, thanks! Yet we did not learn anything :)

Can you do me a favour and try the zip file named galimulator-jar.zip, unzip that and try to double click on the galimulator-desktop.jar file?

Did that and it didn't work either even waited 10 minutes with my fingers crossed.
