we highly recommend that you visit our Guide for New Members. Diablo II Installation Issue Discussion in 'Games' started by Sylar, Nov 2, 2007. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement Sylar Thread Starter Joined: Nov 2, 2007 Messages: 2 I recently upgraded my computer to Vista Ultimate and when I inserted my D2 disc and error message popped up saying: No program start menu found. I searched on-line for a while and found a fix: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20111025090441AA9qhq8 1) Go to Start > Run > type regedit 2) Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Shell Folders" if there is no string in there called "Programs" put that in with the value: C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs After using this fix I re-inserted my disc, and this time the D2 loader appeared. I've tried all three installation choices and it keeps messing up at the https://forums.techguy.org/threads/diablo-ii-installation-issue.647074/ same place. I choose an installation option, enter my name and serial key (yes, it is valid), and the box asking where the game would be installed pops up. The default is: C://Program Files/Diablo II/ I select ok and get this error: Error in script file SetupDat\inst.ins, line 14: undefined symbol (desktop). Then the installer closes. I have looked on-line and can't find a solution to this problem. Can anyone help me out with this?

I found this post, which is basically the same thing you just did, but with a little bit of extra info, it may be worth trying that. Otherwise, I would try running it in compatibility mode. In My Computer, right-click the CD drive, and hit open, then right-click each .exe file in there, hit Properties, and run them in Windows XP compatibility mode. McTimson, Nov 3, 2007 #2 Sylar Thread

You, are, the man. I found error in script the first registry fix on almost every other site, but it was the "Desktop fix" that completed it and got me back into the game I know and love. I waited in line, then installed it on June 29, 2000, the day it was released. =] Great find man, you're helping a lot of folks out. October 25, 2009 at 9:27 PM Cody said... Worked like a charm! I'm very happy now.sehr gut! ^_~ March 19, 2010 at 3:54 PM Evgeny said... Awesome! THANKS! April 10, 2010 at 12:42 PM RecklessG said... I am installing the Diablo 2 on win 7 32bit.Encountered the same problems as everyone. "No start menu entry found"andthe string line 14 error "desktop"Every place you look is saying to correct the registry.I tried that but it wont work.And I figured out why.Do exactly as its been told to find the right place to correct the reg but instead of putting in the long line C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs just click new/string line and write Programs and do the same with Desktop sim
