🛠️ Two working ways to run Barbie(TM) Diaries – High School Mystery on modern systems:
✅ Option 1: Manual installation via PowerShell (recommended)
If the installer crashes with "The wizard was interrupted...", you can install the game manually:
Open PowerShell as administrator (search → right-click → "Run as administrator").
Navigate to the installer folder.
Run this command:
msiexec /i "Barbie(TM) Diaries High School Mystery.msi" /qb
This skips the broken installer UI and installs the game directly.
✅ Option 2: Skip installation entirely
If you downloaded a version that includes a ProgramFiles folder, it contains the full game already.
You can just create a shortcut with the following target:
game.exe -title Barbie -EnableFullScreen false -xsize 800 -ysize 600
⚠️ Fullscreen mode may cause a black screen during the stage-building minigame. Use -EnableFullScreen false to avoid this issue.
💡 No VirtualBox needed! The game works on Windows 10/11 without emulators if launched correctly.

The installer will likely fail with an error, but you don’t need it.
Inside the installer folder, there's a subfolder called ProgramFiles – it already contains the full game.
To run the game, use this command (or a shortcut with these parameters):
'"C:\path\to\file\game.exe" -title Barbie -EnableFullScreen false -xsize 800 -ysize 600'
✅ Fullscreen mode can cause a black screen during the stage-building minigame – disabling it solves the issue.
So you don’t need VirtualBox or Windows XP – this works on modern Windows systems as long as the proper parameters are used.
