Please help (password)

#1 Post by eddavies » Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:11 pm

Hi,
I've just downloaded the first two King's Quest games but when I try to run the .exe, the installer asks for a password. I've spent close to 45 minutes trawling this site looking for the password but to no avail. I even tried the obvious approach of entering http://www.agdinteractive.com/ and variations of it but again, with no luck. Please will somebody help me out here. I feel like I'm going mad!

Thanks.

The games have no password. Maybe your system is asking for administrator password in order to run executable files???

He's running on a Mac and trying to open EXE's which won't work. The EXE installation files need to be executed ONLY on a Windows PC. And don't try to "unpack them" as an archive, that won't work. If you want to play on a Mac download the Mac versions (DMG files).

He posted on the Telltale forums as well. And also PMed me there. I say the solution again here just in case others have the same problem.
