Hello,
Recently I found the CD of the game Pharaoh by Sierra, I tried to install it on Windows 7, the installation works very well, the computer asks me to restart, which I do, and then nothing happens, I go to my computer to relaunch the game, and apparently the installation didn't work since it asks me to install it again, and so on. If anyone has any idea to help me :) Thank you.
Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

Hello,
apparently it’s a bug in the game. It happens to me all the time even in Windows XP. To play the game, you should not go through the workstation or through the Pharaoh start menu, but either through the icon in the start menu, or in the folder where the game has been installed (usually in C:\Sierra, strangely the default installation does not install in "programs" or "programfiles" but in the hard drive directory, but you can change it).
For those who don’t know what the problem is, here it is for me:
In the Pharaoh start menu, it never says "Play" but only "install" as if the game was not installed. So you have to remedy this with the trick mentioned above.
I hope this helps you.

PS: to get the complete game with sound effects and everything, do a full installation.

I installed the Cleopatra expansion. Now I have a bug. The game freezes at a certain point and the sound loops....
What should I do? Thank you.
