The new RIP gives "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error". Even after replacing the "Farwest.exe" and "nFarwest.dll" from NoCD crack.

The new version works by deleting the farwestRUN, extracting the NOCD fix and pasting the new files over it

The reason people are having trouble with this is the hard fact the game shipped with a virus. It's not the NOCD. The actual legit bought-and-paid-for CD will have a trojan on farwest.exe. So when you install and it says "installation is corrupt" that's because your anti-virus (or whatever OS post Windows 7) will detect it as malicious when it tries to copy over farwest.exe. Whether it or not it is I'm not qualified to say. Though to be fair the fact this game is abandonware and hard to get should be an indicator.
This game has LOTS of script issues. You'll be replaying missions over and over and over just to trigger the scripts. The most stable you will ever get is running a Windows 98 virtual machine with an emulated ATI Rage Pro graphic card. You'll basically hire cowboys, graze cows, ward off bandits, buy supplies like whisky to keep the morale of your cowboys up, sell cattle and that's it. It's more of a management game than an RTS. I've only grown a town once and never again because of aforementioned scripting issues.
If the .ISO is giving you corrupted file you need to open it up with Daemon Tools or PowerISO extract all files into a folder. You can install the game from the extracted files. Though in Win10 you will get the "install corrupted" at the end when FarWest.exe is copied over and basically craps the bed.
So BE CAREFUL

Works like a charm on Windows 7, although the menu is a bit skewed. On Windows 10 even more graphics seem to be missing (mostly the GUI when playing).

The rip version contains a virus and the installation from the iso aborts with a
n error.
