Hi,
(This is the original SimCity for Windows, version 1.1. The program works under
Windows 3.1.)
The installer works okay, until it tries to add Program Manager icons. The
Program Manager window appears, and a dialog box with the text "Unable to start
DDE communication with Program Manager." is shown.
There are Abort, Retry and Ignore buttons. If you choose Retry or Ignore,
another copy of Program Manager is run and the same dialog box appears. (So
repeatedly choosing Ignore causes many copies of Program Manager to be run.)
The actual game appears to run more or less okay if the installer is aborted at
that point.
I used an original SimCity ReCreation CD-ROM, but SimCity for Windows can
apparently be obtained from
