Stuck at 84% - seed please! I will seed it for awhile when I get 100%
Will be up and running again soon, had to re-install everything because of a virus.

Caji (2010-10-16)

Will not setup. It stops at 94% and want go any further. I use ISO premium to try and load.

Fyropyro (2011-01-12)

I downloaded and it and burned it to a cd, setup went well, but when I try to run the game I get an error message says "System cannot locate "oregon.dat" please make sure the cd is in in the drive" Ive tried reinstalling, and it still gives same message. Even with the cd in the drive. Any suggestions?

@Fyropyro: The game was made before new OS's like win7, ensure than the path it was installed to is actually in the Oregon5.ini file located in your install dir. Here is what i had to change mine to (standard install location) to get it to work.
"rsrcpath=C:\Program Files (x86)\The Learning Company\Oregon Trail 5"

Apathetic_Killer (2011-02-11)

Oregon.5.dat file not found. Make sure its located in the right place on the CdRom. Mmmkkk?
I magic ISO'd to a disc, and I still get this error?

Apathetic_Killer (2011-02-11)

And the files and folders are all in the right spots, from What i see too.

Apathetic_Killer (2011-02-11)

I dont understand why its not working, everything seems to be in place.

wickedspade4 (2011-02-22)

downloaded just fine but i got the same error as Caji..How do i fix this? I want this game..not going to seed until i get this resolved

1bdm1 (2011-03-22)

To fix it and get it to work... open your c drive and go to program files, then to the learning company and Oregon trail 5. In there you will see a file called OREGON5(which is a configuration setting) and double click on it. Remove the {cdrom} line completely so all you will have in the file is:
[Sound]
music=on
sfx=on
speech=on
buffers=20,2000
rsrcpath=C:\Program Files\The Learning Company\Oregon Trail 5
[game]
intromovieid=100
vfw=on
speed=2
[scores]
hiscore1=Elisha Stephens;15835
hiscore2=Stephen Meek;13492
hiscore3=Celinda Hines;11673
hiscore4=George Washington Bush;10340
hiscore5=Thomas Knight;8771
hiscore6=Ezra Meeker;6239
hiscore7=Sherri;6134
hiscore8=Jesse Applegate;5507
hiscore9=Mary Bartlett;5198
hiscore10=William Wiggins;4615
Click on save and save over the old config file.
Launch the program and all should work.

1bdm1 (2011-03-22)

Also, (if using vista/windows 7) right click on the Oregon Trail 5th Edition icon on your desktop and click properties, then go to compatibility and click on change settings for all users. Then check run this program in windows xp sp3, and click to run as an administrator then ok, ok.

xtyrasage (2011-06-06)

This doesn't work. I mounted it with powerISO, it installed fine, and I tried to do what 1bdm1 said, but it said access denied when I tried to save the file. I've been looking for a working torrent of the Oregon Trail for a long time and haven't had any luck. :/

chickenchicken (2011-07-26)

It's a little trickier than just editing and saving, but it's possible. Make a copy of the OREGON5 config file and paste it to your desktop. From there, you can make the edit (deleting the "cdrom" line) and save with no problem. Then replace the original file with your new one.

claimex (2011-08-27)

you can try my torrent as well if this one doesn't work out for you.

WhigBullMoose (2011-12-16)

Okay, I got it to work after the above comments didn't seem to do the trick. Do what the above comments say but make sure to copy the .dat file from the "data" folder on the .iso and paste it into your "C:\Program Files (x86)\The Learning Company\Oregon Trail 5" folder.

1Anarchy (2012-05-06)

Works perfect. Kids love it. Thank you 2mean2die for the upload and 1bdm1 for the quick easy help.

cubbiefanatic1982 (2012-08-14)

I have downloaded this game from 5 different sources. And all of them play for about 7 minuets and then either freeze or crash. Dont know whats going on. Maybe it is because I use Vista. But I know I love this game and I cant play it. Help

emleesj (2012-10-28)

Okay, I'm sure I'm having issues simply because I'm sometimes technologically inept, but I've tried to open that .dat file in a variety of text editors. The only one that doesn't freeze is Notepad++, but when the file opens it's just a bunch of unreadable gibberish. Help?

djpurity0 (2013-09-13)

Works just fine, just do what he says in the comments by removing that cdrom line from the configuration file. It's not rocket science, you'll find it under the program files, or for me, program files (x86), then go under The Learning Company, Oregon Trail 5, and you'll find it!

maebird (2013-10-20)

someone seed please

TravisTG (2014-04-23)

And you're trusted? I mount it using DAEMON tools and open it and my Webroot pops up saying there's a Trojan Gen in it, you need to be deranked.

Fyropyro (2014-06-11)

Well, just came back and tried this after awhile, and all I had to do was open the configuration file in my installation directory, make sure that the rsrcpath="" was where my install directory was (in this case rsrcpath=C:Program Files (x86)The Learning CompanyOregon Trail 5) and then follow 1bdm1's instructions about removing the [CDROM] from inbetween speech and buffers. Anyways, on start screen for the game now, will let you guys know how it goes. Also, I have norton, and scanned this, and nothing came up. Also using daemon tools.

Fyropyro (2014-06-11)

Hey so, when directly running the ISO from daemon tools lite, I couldnt get the game to work past start screen until I put [CDROM] back into the config, but after that it seemed to work fine

kodeee (2014-07-22)

After I save a game it freezes whenever i try to fish or talk to people. any ideas?
