Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo - it's made by the same company, and it's very similar in many aspects.
Next time ask questions like this in comments about game you're asking about.

I get an error that setup.exe "is not a valid Win32 application." Running this on windows 7 64bit. Any easy fixes?
MirroredReply
Open cd dir.

Click setup

Right click

Click troubleshoot compatibility.

Install.

Profit?
zeknaReply
erg. I wish it was that simple, but I think I actually assembled the parts wrong - windows thinks it's a 16bit installer. Any recommended program to complete the iso from the downloads above?

Getting another error myself, something about dir/uninst.exe and a bunch of weird asterisks. Probably a failed to copy message or something, been googeling for it but can't find anything about it. Anyone have an idea?

Hey admin, I'm having a little trouble installing the English patch of the game. I keep getting a warning that says "The application has failed to start because of its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the event log for more details." Can you tell me what's wrong?
HeroineSaviorReply
no need to install English patch, just copy paste it to game folder.
Chaos47Reply
I'm having the same problem. I install the game, run the update. No problems up to this point. But when it comes to the English patch, it just wont run it. What am I doing wrong?
RANDOM_HEROReply
Did you try to run it as an administrator...if you are using vista of course...??
Chaos47Reply
I'm using XP. It doesn't give me the option of running it as an admin.
Pizza RollsReply
I ran it in admin on vista, it still did not work ><
Chaos47Reply
So I'm guessing there is no solution to this problem? Oh well, guess I'll just have to skip on this one.

Chaos47... sorry i just have no idea when it comes to XP

You are getting that error because of Visual C++

I was trying to figure this same problem out and it turns out the 2005 and 2010 versions wont work (I tested them). You HAVE to have the 2008 32bit version (even if you are running a 64 bit OS). Here is the link to the copy you need.

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5582

Make sure to uninstall any other Visual C++ programs before you install it to avoid extra problems.

After you have it installed run the English patch from the game folder and it should work.

When I try to install it seems to install all the way but then I get a error message

does someone knows why the route selection options dissapear when you start the game with the Katahane.exe in stead of the カタハネ.exe...?i guess you will play them anyway...am i wrong..?
Mari-eReply
cant find katahane.exe help any1?
unknownReply
If the initial installer doesn't work, all you need to do is change your language for non-unicode programs. Go to Region and Language> Administrative> Change system locale and change to Japanese. I'm running windows 7 x64 home premium.

Hello, just downloaded game today and having problems. I downloaded the game, literal patch and the update. I saw the instructions but it's not going that way for me.
I click on the update and it's all gibberish and it pops up that it needs something (like when you go to Browse for file) but I have no idea what it's asking for. The game isn't popping up. The game is an .iso file.
I tried skipping the update and went to the English patch to select the game and the game is still not popping up! What's going on? X_X It's been a LONG time since I have done this and totally clueless. Please anyone help me? :'(
unknownReply
first of all make sure your locale/language for non unicode programs is set to japan (to do this go to region and language in control panel and go to administrative tab.)

once your done, mount the iso image with a virtual drive (I use daemon tools) or burn it onto a DVD. open the disk and you should find the installer. after the game is installed, it should run in japanese.

to install the patch, locate the directory that the game is installed in.

after the patch is done install the english patch.

Just finished this one the other day, pretty good if you ask me. Keep up the good work Admin, looking forward to any future adds. Now to finish Shikkoku no Sharnoth :]
RazielTepesReply
sigh, for some reason, the skip function doesn't work right I end up having to keep F7 pressed but then it even skips stuff i haven't read yet, so annoying... any idea how to fix this ?
ashleyReply
off topic about this game

but suggestion
can we get some sort of way to tell if a game will require the applocal usage or changing the computer around to jap settings

so we do not waste a few hrs dling for no reason
adminReply
Yes, it's on my TODO list. Right now i'm uploading all games that were ever released in English, but are still missing on this site. Once I'm done i'll be making installation instructions for every title posted, with MD5 checksum for files ( to verify you downloaded them properly), required environment ( does it need japanese locale, does it run on windows 7/Vista etc.) and step-by-step instructions, with screencaps included.
