Tacchi Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Are you running your computer with Non-Unicode Japanese? (link to instructions): Yes Game: Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo Description of Problem: *sigh* Just tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm so newb at this. http://i.imgur.com/0Qb2hTC.png Your Operating System: Windows 8 64 or 32 bit (link to how to find): 64 bit Are you running the correct, patched .EXE for the game?: Have you tried Uninstalling/Reinstalling and then Redownloading?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luch Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm not sure if I see the problem here. If you want to uninstall the game you can just delete the whole folder. There is no need to run the uninstall exe since the game isn't really installed in the first place. Anyway that error is because you don't have the permission to access that file. You can change the permissions from file/folder properties->security tab. Ryoji explained it in detail in this thread. There are minor differences in windows 8 but you should figure it out.

Well let's start simpler since I'm terrible at this. How do you even install this? I assumed that's how you install it since the description for that exe was Setup/Uninstall. Plus it says that I have full control over the entire folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luch Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Nothing to install. Just download and play. Run sharin.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luch Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 You do not have the permission to create that file. Please check the permissions and take ownership on all files and subfolders in the game folder using the method I mentioned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read my post on how to do this and you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogo104 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I have a problem with running both games also. when I try to access sharin.exe, it comes up with error message "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running". The same thing happens with yukyu.exe for the second game. Is it because it is not compatible with 64 bit systems? (which is what my pc is). I have tried changing system locale to jap as well as trying applocale but to no avail. Can you please help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luch Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Should work fine on 64bit. What windows are you actually using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogo104 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Should work fine on 64bit. What windows are you actually using? Im using windows 7, theres also another exe file for yukyu that's 11kb and trying to open it, comes up with an error message saying yukyu.exe cannot run due to incompatibility with 64 bit versions of windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 "Sharin.exe" is the correct file. I also use Windows 7 (x64), and after trying on both settings, I got the same, exact error you did (according to the screenshot) when I wasn't actually using Japanese non-unicode location. When I correctly set up Japanese location, it works great. So. Let's set your location: >Open the start menu >Type "Region Settings" (Open "Region Settings" which comes up) >On the "Administrative" tab is a "Language for Non-Unicode Programs" section. If yours says "English (United States)" or anything other than Japanese, change it to Japanese >Click button "Change system locale..." >Scroll down and select Japanese >Restart your computer. Then it should work. Please let us know if this fixes the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogo104 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Oh right, it does work now after changing the system locale, I could've sworn I did it before. Man I feel like such an idiot! thanks heaps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
