SYMPTOMS
When you install one of the programs listed at the top of this article
on a localized version of Japanese Windows, you may receive one of the
following error messages:
DirectX Setup: An internal error has occurred.
Direct X Setup : This program is English version only.
CAUSE
The DreamWorks program runs on localized versions of Windows, but
Setup fails because it tries to install the English version of DirectX.
RESOLUTION
Install the Japanese version of DirectX and run the program from the
executable file (located on the DreamWorks compact disc). The .exe file is
located in the \Setup directory.
NOTE: The .exe for The Neverhood is nhc.exe and for Goosebumps it is
gb.exe.
Create a shortcut to the program on your desktop using the following
steps:
- With your right mouse button, click your desktop (wallpaper).
- Point to New, and then click Shortcut.
- Click Browse.
- Locate nhc.exe or gb.exe in the \Setup directory on the DreamWorks
compact disc.
- Click the appropriate .exe, click Open, and then click Next.
- Type a name for the shortcut. For example, type:
Goosebumps: Escape from HorrorLand
- Click Finish.
