Sorry, Unknown Gamer, these instructions do not work for me. I have different Files than what you have. But hey, at least you gave instructions.
Unkown Gamer2020-02-240 point
Forgot to mention that Step 1 through 4 are done on the Windows 7 32-bit side so I was able to install the game properly as normal.
The rest of the Steps were done through Windows 10 so I could play without needing of the dumb Installer at all right a way.
Again hope this was helpful in some way and maybe someone will be able to come up with a fix in the future for the graphics and sound issues?
Also kinda wish there was an Edit button on here so I wouldn't have had to make 3 post in a row...Due to a slight error on my part....Sorry...

After a long struggle I managed to finally get this game to work even on Windows 10! Unfortunately it has some graphical and sound issues you can use the ISO on here or the official CD tho.
Recommend you use PCEM for best results.
Steps are.
1. You must have a 32-bit system for this to work Windows 7 for example I have my PC double Partitioned to Windows 7-32 bit and the other side Windows 10.
2. Right click the Setup.exe go to properties and compatibility mode make sure you check mark everything and set it to 256 colors as well as having it on Windows 98 compatible mode.
3. Install the game how you would normally.
4.The same steps from number 2 applies for the OT3.exe then run the game and see how it goes.
Extra steps: You will need a way to make a iso file like Power ISO etc also PCEM.
5.Go to the TLC folder and Oregon Trail 3 Folder and highlight everything in it then make the ISO. This bypasses the dumb installer issue I had and allows you to play the game immediately.
6. Start up PCEM as you normally would take the new ISO you created and mount it to the drive on PCEM
7. Finally play the game right away with no installation nonsense and with no more issues.
I truly hope this helps seeing how no one else has done anything on the matter so far?

I've tried everything I even still have my official disc and tried that beforehand but I keep getting told I'm doing something illegal?
I'm trying to play this classic using the PCEM Emulator but no matter what I use be it your ISO or my own CD. I'm able to get to a certain point but once it get's ready to install it doesn't and stops with some illegal nonsense
Please is there any fix to this at all?

Oregon Trail 3rd Edition Play Online
I've tried everything to get this game to launch but I keep getting 'Insert Disk 1 to play'. I've built an old school PC with spare parts and tried launching it on that. I've tried using a virtual machine. I've tried windows 95,98,2000, and XP. The game installs, the launcher pops up, I click play, and it tells me to insert Disk 1 to play. Bottom line, mounting the ISO does nothing. What am I missing? Wish I never lost these game disks.

Any tips on how to get this with sound? I've tried Virtualbox and PCem, both Windows 95 and 98, can't get sound even when changing from Sound Blaster driver in Virtualbox as is often advised. Everything else works. Help would be appreciated!

Works for the most part, data files on 2nd and 3rd cd are corrupted, not positive but i think this could be why none of the npc's animate/work properly after leaving independence and why i can't actually finish the game and get my score/land :(, tried re-downloading and same files are corrupted
Prince Ire2019-05-101 point
Unfortunately while the game itself is 32 bit, the installer is 16 bit. So while you can start up the window, as soon as you hit install it'll stop working on a modern system.
LUCERNA2019-05-101 point
Hi,
When I unzip the file there's 3 ios files, labeled CD1, CD2, and CD3.
I can't find a .exe file anywhere.
It may be stupid... but can somebody explain what I'm supposed to do next? Thanks.

@DB '.iso's - useless for the average person, pain in the ass for everyone else'
Lol, are you stupid? You can mount ISO's with a plethora of software. If you can't figure it out, then either your Google searches are borked, or you failed English at a minimum of a D+ level...
Chuck2019-03-22-8 points
If you think ISO files are difficult you have no business trying to play old games on modern systems. Seriously. Learn2retrogame.
bealocwealm2019-02-151 point
So... mounting the .isos isn't the problem. Mounting is easy in windows 10; the problem is I can't run a game in compatibility mode if it isn't installed, and I can't install it without running it in compatibility mode... Plus the compatibility mode only goes back to XP.
Anyone know what to do?
MaDDog Gaming2019-02-150 point
Does this work with Windows 7 if so plz explain what to do
cecil2019-01-183 points
ISOs are just fine. Emulators everywhere. Think of them as self contained installation packages that allow software to persist after its cycle.
fun franchise.

Never mind, it was because of the time of day. The download was successful after trying at a different time of day.
Kyle2018-08-281 point
I cannot get this to download. It fails every time at about the 220-280 mb mark and cannot get download to presume. This is in both Chrome and Firefox. Is there something wrong with the file?

It is marketed for people ages ten to adult, and even if you are an adult this game offers enough of a challenge coupled with entertainment to keep your interest'[4] The Hour wrote: 'This is an excellent role playing game for children ages 10 up to adults'.[5] Elizabeth Weal of the MacHome Journal said 'this upgrade of the simulation - with new full-motion video, improved graphics, and new players' decisions - makes the product even more engaging than its predecessors'.[6]
The 2002 book Designing Instruction for Technology-enhanced Learning suggested that edutainment properties that have been around for a long time, such as Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? and The Oregon Trail 'have been through many..evaluations, and the subsequent versions reflect careful attention to who is using the product and how well it sells'. It cited the then-recent The Oregon Trail 3rd Edition (1997) and Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (1996) as examples of this.[7]
