I was tidying my games shelf (it doesn't get used much in the Steam age of downloadable games) and I found my copy of Mech Commander Gold.

Does anybody here know of a way to get this run on my Windows 10 machine?

Installation from disc/ISO – Note you’ll still have to have the disc inserted or have the ISO mounted to run the game, unless you find a no-cd executable for the game:[/color]

• Windows 7/Vista 32 bit – If simply running setup from the disc/ISO doesn’t work right away, right click on your cd/iso and select explore. Then set the following files to run in Windows 95 compatibility mode and attempt the installation again:
  _ISDL.exe
  CPUID.exe
  SETUP.exe
  
• Windows 7/Vista 64 bit – 64 bit Windows does not support 16 bit installers such as the one for Mechcommander gold. There is a workaround though – create a directory named MCG (name is unimportant) and then manually copy the entire contents of your MCG disc/iso into this folder and start the game using MCX.EXE in your new directory.

On a side note, MC2 is free to download off the Microsoft servers. As they are also the holders of the Lisence, the download is also legal:

As for getting MC1 to run, I believe I just coppied all files to a folder and ran it from there without a problem... but that was ages ago and my memory as to how it actually ran is a bit misty.
