Guys. The secret is that this game relies on DirectX 8, which is not natively supported anymore. I can't give full directions here, but if you got it to show a black screen that is what the problem is. Install directX 8 and it will work.

I dont understand what im doing wrong. The instructions are outdated and dont explain how to download this correctly. Someone said that all they got were cue files that dont open or launch the game

I’ve followed the download instructions to a T and it works perfectly other than it is so zoomed in to the top left corner. I can’t even see the options tab on the home. I’ve tried compatibility settings and my windows display settings. I even tried DxWND.

Doesn't work on Windows 11. Theres no ISO file to mount, just runs the launcher and asks to insert the CD.

Instructions as of Feb 2023:

Download Daemon Lite, run the installer and decline the VPN.
Download the School Tycoon ISO File, extract it to your desktop.
Run Daemon Lite, the files inside the School Tycoon Folder should now have the Daemon Lite Icon. Double click SchoolTycoonV1 once, this will load it, then double click it again. School Tycoon should install.
Check for updates, then run the game!

Does anyone know how to fix resolution? My game is super zoomed in and cut off - I can only see the top left of the screen, and can't move my mouse down past what displays on my screen (so I can't get to the in-game settings). I've tried compatibility mode and messing with the Windows resolution and it still doesn't work.

If you downloaded everything correctly and can pull up the game launcher to start the game and nothing happens, go to properties by "Right click"ing on the game desktop icon, go to "compatibility" and "click" on the box for compatibility mode and "choose" "Windows XP". That's what got the game working for me. It wouldn't do anything when I tried launching the game at first. Thanks for the upload! Really missed my childhood.

No "iKernal" issues, followed Glockenspeel & Sarah's comments and worked just fine. Second game i've downloaded here and Daemon Tools has been a lifesaver (im not a pc expert in the least, v easy to use). Ppl mentioning no audio, just go to game options and move the music and sound fx slider up! Weird how it installs muted? Played over a few hours, no issues, thanks for the throwback!

I didnt download this, so I don't know:

But people are saying theres issues with installing "iKernal.exe". This might be something to do with the launcher or serial number update thing--but to me it sounds like its trying to install kernal permissions which is really suspect. I would love for someone to tell me the install is clean though, love this game. Just sounds suspect, so I'm staying away.

instructions for install

download the iso file
mount the iso using https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/

run the setup file on the iso

open the game once installed

it should open a launcher
click run updater

once done you can unmount iso and delete is if you want and run the game without

I keep getting "Error Installing iKernel.exe: (0x2200)". What is this?

Sarah 20 Aug. 2018

Hey guys, this game still works. All you need to do to get around the "no CD" issue is to click "check for updates" in the game's loading screen. I have no idea why, but after the updates the game runs fine without a crack. Cheers!

It keeps saying it needs the disc.

the iso needs a no cd update.
