Er... welcome to the forum.... calm down a second and I will try to help you. What version of the game did you purchase. Just Penumbra Black Plague or the COMPLETE version.
Ive just dug my copy out from the under the filing cabinet. The version of the disk I have has two files:
penumbra_bp.exe
and
autorun.inf
Does yours have these two files? Can you get the EXE file to run?
penumbra_bp.exe
and
autorun.inf

2files
Yes, it has thoses two files, but it does not want to execute. Or else it is just extremely slow.

Hi Marty,
It looks like you may be having the same problem as this guy:
You dont say if you are running XP or Vista.
Im running XP, and there is a short delay for me too, but eventually the installer begins.
If you have Vista you may want to ensure that your windows account has Administrator priviledges.
If you are running XP, you may want to do the same.
You should also try copying the installer file to the hard-drive and running it from there.
It seems though you are going to have to run it and be a little patient.

Thank you so very much for helping me. I executed the file from the CD and then just waited. After about 8 minutes the installer started and the game installed. Now I will attempt to play it.
I never finished Overture because I couldn't kill the darn DOG! So I finally gave up.
I am an old broad game player a little short on patience.
Again,
Thank you

No problem.
I play the odd board game too. There are lots of people on these boards who play them to. You'll find them in the OT forum of this site. On occasion there are people looking to play boardgames online.
As for Overture. Its well worth getting to the end. Which DOG was the problem? Try looking at the link for the developers site Frictional, posted above. There arent many posts and the hints may help you out some more.
I found BP to be an evern better adv/horror/survival game than Overture.
Good luck with getting to the end. There are some tough puzzles to get through first!
I think it is the first dog I encountered. Big red-eyed dude that wants ( and succeeds) to kill me every time. I tried to get him when he came thru the blocked door, but no luck!
Thats the one behind the door with the bars? In the maze of tunnels and rooms pitched in darkness. If you pick up one of the cylinders or boxes and just stay in the light by the door, youll be able to see him coming and then throw the item at him. Do this continually until it dies.
Also try to make sure that your throw is straight on, otherwise the item will go off into the darkness and your character will get squished. Tried a few times before I got the mutt.

set-up exe
Just let the disc run until you see the task bar asking you to allow set-up.
Hope this helped
