Monopoly (1995 CD-ROM Version)
64-bit Windows Installation
An error message appears when trying to run setup.exe off of the game CD. The setup program is incompatible with 64-bit versions of Windows, but the actual game can be made to work in spite of this. We will need to transfer the needed files from the CD to the hard drive manually.
Step #1 - Copying Files from CD
To begin, press Windows key + E on your keyboard to open a File Explorer window. Next, create a folder on your hard drive to store the game files in. Select your hard drive from the sidebar, then press "New Folder" in the ribbon.

AIVARS.TRE

CW3215MT.DLL
DEEDS.TRE
DLG_ENG.DLL

MONOPOLY.EXE
MONOPOLY.INI

Paste these files inside the Monopoly directory. Once you're finished, this is what you should be looking at:
