King Quest VII

I've installed it with KQ7ForDosBox.exe from SierraHelpPages
but i get a CTD on every game start, before intro.
I've bought KQ7+8 from GOG and merged the German language into it but again CTD before intro.
After that i've tested original languages and it works.
What a mess... It seems like,
I would never be able to play KQ7 with german language again.

Leisure Suit larry 7 and Police Quest 4 working perfectly.
I hate the new century and technology :'(
No DOS, no SummVM, no KQ, no Fun

Installed it with original Setup, DOSBox Setup on a XP netbook
but with no effect.
I think i've merged the german language with every other version!
Does anyone have an installer which you can use for the German version?

@spk64

Have you seen this remark on the Sierra Help pages?

Note: the 1.4 and 1.51 installers will not work for localized versions. Localized Windows only versions can be played in DOSBox if you install Windows 3x in it, first.

I can be found under "Speed problems".

Just love it when people who want support for my installers ask on other forums where I may or may not see that request.

@Collector
it is okay

I was able to start it
with the latest unstable daily build of scummvm
Although with errors but better as nothing.

Next time you may want to ask for help from the site that got a program instead of another site that has nothing to do with what you downloaded.

What does that make sense?!
The SierraHelpPages have a forum?!
Scumm is about and for these games and
i thought maybe someone can help me
because the people here deal with these games.
