why not ask the people who made it, was published in 1996, and this thread is 3 years old. :)

Try running it in Win 7 in XP compatibility mode (find game directory, right click on exe file, select compatibility mode and change).

One thread, one question please, I have deleted the other thread which duplicates this query.

I have tried it but it is not working. It starts and as soon as it enters to the main menu, it crashes and the program closes.

Then it's probably not going to work in Win 7 then, lots of games don't, especially games that were made for Win 95, even with an XP patch.

You could try loading Win XP into some virtual OS software within Win 7 and load the game into that.

If you’re trying to run the classic simulation game “Transport Tycoon Deluxe” in Windows 7, you may get an error upon startup when the game can’t find dplay.dll. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Go to C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-directx-directplay4_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7100.0_none_e80363be14f8ec68 (substitute your Windows installation path for C:\Windows if necessary).
  • Copy dplayx.dll to your Transport Tycoon installation folder.
  • Rename the new copy of the file to dplay.dll.
