King’s Quest 2 Installation Procedures

This game should run off your computer’s hard drive. If you have a collection CD-ROM version, do not try to run it straight of the CD. You should not be in Windows. If you are in Windows, quit now (unless you are using Windows ME in which there is no DOS mode). King’s Quest collection games can be a hassle to install because the main installation program might fail, and you have to install each game individually, using their original installation programs.

Insert the first CD and change to that drive. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is D:, type D: [ENTER]. Then at the D:> prompt, type:

CD\KQ1 [ENTER]
INSTALLH C: [ENTER] C is the letter of your hard drive.

If you have the original floppy diskette, insert it into floppy drive and change to that drive. For example, if your floppy diskette drive is A:, type A: [ENTER]. Then at the A:> prompt, type:

INSTALLH C: [ENTER] C is the letter of your hard drive.

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

Note that while you can get King’s Quest 2 on CD-ROM in the King’s Quest Collection or the Roberta Williams Anthology, you cannot get either version of the game on a CD-ROM by itself. It will have to be in a collection. Also, the CD-ROM version is the AGI version, which is the exact same version as the King’s Quest 2 floppy diskette games. Sierra only made one version of this game, meaning there are no remakes.
