Windows 10: can't run Dungeon Keeper 2 on Windows 10

I'm trying to play an old Windows 95/98 game on my new Windows 10 laptop.

I've installed it but when I click Play I get the do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your pc* popup. I say yes but it loops back to the game's start up window with the Play, Install (greyed out), Uninstall, Re-Install, etc options.

I tried the Compatibility Troubleshooter but end up at that same * popup.

Thanks in advance.

Dungeon Keeper won't run under Win10

"Dungeon running" they say... It's NOT because it is about
Dungeon Keeper!

 

Windows 10 compatibility with Dungeon Keeper 2

Hello,

My new PC uses WIndows 10 64-bit. I've just purchased Dungeon Keeper 2 and I had the same problem. I solved it by doing the following:

Firstly, make sure you have installed Patches 1.7 and Unofficial Patch 1.8

1 In your main Dungeon Keeper 2 directory, right mouse click on the DKII application icon. Select 'Compatibility' and choose 'Run This Program In Compatibility Mode for:

Windows XP (Service Pack 2)'

2 Select 'Apply', followed by 'OK'

Now try to load the game and it should load and run fine now. It works for me.

Hope this helps.

 

I think it will work in 7

 

Thanks houss, I'll give that a whirl on my old laptop.
