For Final Fantasy VII on the PC, a GameFAQs Answers question titled 'Not working?'

Hi everyone, this post is an attempt to condense the installation method for FF7 on Windows 7 64 to a single thread post, as when I recently did this I had to use several websites and download files from multiple locations, so hopefully this will provide a nice concise tutorial on how to enjoy one of the best RPGs of all time on your W7 PC! Important things to note: A couple of points I would like to make before starting this tutorial: - You DO NOT need to diasble UAC in order to get this game to work, we will be modifying the permission for a couple of specific folders only. - You DO NOT need to use compatability mode to get this game to work, if anything it makes matters worse. We will be using custom graphics drivers to bring the game up to date with modern technology so no worries there.

- Below I detail methods for using disc images to boot the game, this I did with images of MY OWN discs which I paid for. I do not condone the illegal downloading of disc images, and as long as you don't distribute the images of your own discs then your conscience is clean. Optional Preparation Step Create Disc Images: This step is not necessary but it will make your life easier, not to mention reducing wear and tear on your FF7 discs (which are definitely getting more valuable these days.). It will also reduce loading times, eliminate drive noise and make FMVs play more smoothly. What you want to do is make images of your original game discs: Download and install a program called ImgBurn ().

Its a great tool and will allow you to make images of your discs, and it's completely free! Pop your installation disc into your computer, open ImgBurn and select 'Create Image File from Disc', then select a directory for the image file to be placed in (completely up to you) and save the file in.bin/.cue format.

Give it a minute and you'll have an image of that disc in the directory you selected, repeat this for the other three discs. Next, you'll want to download and install Daemon Tools Lite () which is also free to non-commercial users (i.e.

You), you'll need to restart to complete installation. The program should automatically set up a virtual drive for you - now, if you don't have a clue what I'm talking about then I suggest you google it and do a bit of research because I don't have the time to explain it all here. So go ahead and mount the installation disc once Daemon Tools has installed and move onto step 1. Step 1 Initial Installation: Get all your discs together, and insert the Installation disc into your DVD drive (or mount your image of the installation disc onto your virtual drive if you have ripped your discs to images - see optional step above). Run the setup program. This is all pretty self-explanatory, but: PLEASE NOTE - you must choose maximum installation when prompted as this will install all the game files to your computer which is necessary fpr patching later. Don't worry, the game's not that big by today's standards.

Furthermore, DO NOT install any of the graphics drivers that come on the disc (i.e. DX5 and DirectShow), these will likely bugger your existing graphics drivers and we will be patching the game later with new ones anyway to allow it to play on modern systems. Step 2 Folder Permissions: The next step is to change the permissions for the FF7 installation folder to allow the game to write its own files. The path for the installation (assuming you didn't change it in the installer) is: 'C: Program Files(x86) Square Soft, Inc Final Fantasy VII' Right click this folder and select properties. Switch to the security tab and select 'Advanced'.

Click on 'Change Permissions', then click on Users( Name of your computer/Users) which says 'Read and Execute' and then 'Edit', click on the full control box and ticks should appear in all the boxes below, like this: There should now be a line which says Users have Full Control! Step 3 Official Patch v1.02: Next on the agenda is to patch the game to v1.02 with the official patch which can be found. Installation is very easy, simply extract all the files in the archive into your FF7 installation folder, selecting to overwrite any files as necessary. Step 4 Custom Graphics Drivers: This is the big one, we're going to install a user-made patch which allows modern systems to render the game using OpenGL. Download file, and extract all the contents into your FF7 installation directory, again, overwriting any files.
