sith the computer that I use for ff7 is my laptop which has a crappy card :( .

Now back on topic: Why did you install updates to win10!?  Try running the installer again after deleting your FF7 folder in %ProgramFiles%
 
Older Intel cards 3000 series and before do not run OPEN GL.

That is not true. According to the Wiki of intel video cards  The GMA3000 supports OpenGL 1.5 on windows and 2.0 on linux and mac os

what card? and have you checked your not using bad drivers provided my windows update that break OpenGL? Would be alot easier to support aali's driver if you can run it...

can you even turn off updates on windows 10 ? (i ask because i don't know )
 
Leaving your OS un-updated is a security disaster waiting to happen. I can understand not wanting to move from windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10, but minor updates within the same major Windows version are highly recommended.
 
But there is always wise guy, and I hope he will do the good job to run FF7 in Windows 10 Build 1511.

I'm running the latest version of Windows 10; FF7 runs fine. So whatever the problem is, I wouldn't assume it's anything to do with W10 updates.

I'd suggest making sure you have a sound driver selected; if you don't (and upgrading your sound drivers could have caused FF7 to lose the selected output device) FF7 won't start.
 
Thank you ficedula Tom.

I investigated the setting for FF7, i.e. running ff7config.exe.
And found the mistake on "sound" tab that shown "blank" in Sound Driver drop-down menu, which seemed to be changed when the update for W10 build 1511 came.

OK, setting Sound Driver to "RealTek High Definition Audio", now FF7 started !!
No problem found in the game, that is good as before the update.
Thank you again.
 
With the current version, I can't seem to install to any non-default directory.

It will install under Program Files (x86) just fine, but not to, say, C:\FF7\

Just an FYI
 
Does it not let you select a directory outside of Program Files or does it fail when you select one?
(This has been an issue forever... but I thought I fixed with the switch to IC)
 
Adding a config.ini which will let you have preconfigured options and if you set AUTOSETUP=TRUE then the whole install will be automatic and no options will be asked for. If you don't understand, you won't have to click any buttons, it will just use whatever you have told it to use in config.ini
 
ok I'm sorry if it was already explained and I didn't read everything.
I got this on my win 7 no problem. My win 10 spits this at me during the win 10 install

I don't understand so hopefully you know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for your time hope you have the answers I seek. Could this be because I'm trying to install to a non default location for modding with 7th heaven? It says don't use program files or program files x86 or users but I get this error trying my own choices.

As much as I would like it, installing to a non default directory is not supported currently...

Like I have tried everything and it still messes up when installing to non default...

ok so i should try installing to default folder like on my portable hard drive then or do you mean local disk C and that would solve the problem, i recently just yesterday changed to windows 10 from windows 8.1 and im not sure if it was the best decision to make because playing games i.e mainly playing final fantasy is what i use the computer for, thanks for your reply been working on this for a while.
 
I don't think that error is part of my installer?
Yes, install to default folder means don't change anything when it asks you for folder.  Not even disk or anything.

Do you mean when applying the converter or are you referring to the mods, thank you.
 
hello Tom, i just wanted to inquire with you, i have the game in my steam library folder and when i try to direct the installer to where the game is it says its not there and when i try to go further i get an error, now do i apply the converter first or do i have the game completely uninstalled for this to work?
 
This is to install the game from a CD, this does not have anything to do with Steam.
