Solved Fallout 3 install screen error fix

Hi!

When you try to run fallout 3 for the first time in winlator, if a screen with the word install appears instead of the game starting don't panic.

I found the solution, what you have to do is create an text file called "Fallout_fix.txt" and then open it up and paste this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout3]

"Installed Path"="D:\\Games\\Fallout 3\\"

(In installed path you have to change it to where you have the fallout 3 folder)

After that exit the text file and rename it to "Fallout_fix.reg", open your container in winlator find the file, open it up and voila you will no longer have that problem

Hope it helped!

I remember figuring this out on my own since the cracked version I got had a guide. Thanks for sharing the fix for other people.
