Please help! ForestViewer.exe has stopped working - It seems that Quest3D is not correctly installed

Hello all!

I would really like to experience The Endless Forest, however I keep error messages when trying to start the game.

"ForestViewer.exe has stopped working" - When trying to run from the shortcut on my desktop (as administrator).

and

"It seems that Quest3D is not correctly installed, or this viewer is run from the wrong directory" - When attempting to run it through the troubleshoot compatibility menu.

Virtual machine running Windows 7

I haven't been able to find a solution on the forums, though I may have missed something.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Not too sure I have a solution, but maybe a couple of ideas to try (if you haven't already).

- Simple but, have you already tried uninstalling/doing a clean reinstall of the game?
- What happens if you don't run it from the shortcut, but right-click the shortcut > open file location and run directly from the ForestViewer icon instead?

I think your shortcut needs a

I think your shortcut needs a piece added to its target (namely, where it can find Q3Dstart). Right click the shortcut and select "Properties"

I'm guessing your shortcut's target field looks like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Tale of Tales\The Endless Forest 3\ForestViewer.exe"

It SHOULD look something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Tale of Tales\The Endless Forest 3\ForestViewer.exe" Q3DStart.q3d

Edit the target field, hit 'apply' and 'ok' and try running it again.

Thank you both for your suggestions. Unfortunately, I still can't get the game to run Sad
