The game installs properly, or what I believe installs properly, but whenever the exe is ran, nothing comes up. I look on my Task Manager, and the game is running but no window or error or anything pops up. I've set the language on my computer to Japanese as well and nothing changed.
The only thing I've read on this forum is that the game doesn't install unless you manually create the folder for it on Vista and 7. I am not sure if this is the issue as the game fully installs without any sort of manual folder creation.
Game version I am currently using is 1.0.0.0. Yes it is a downloaded version. Yes, I own a copy of the original game (Vista version), I just do not have a DVD drive at this time to install it (replaced my motherboard and found out my current DVD drive did not have the proper connection and just haven't gotten around to fixing the issue).

If you're trying to run the XP version on 7, it doesn't matter if the game looks like it installs properly.

I just played through Ys VI on my XP 64 bit install, and it worked fine, just make sure that you have the latest Falcom patch for that version (have I mentioned that they are kinda douchy for never releasing a patch for 1.0.0.0 that gives difficulty select. WAY too easy in its initial release?)
You might have to use AppLocale to get the install working correctly. I'd also make sure you install it to a directory that Windows 7 doesn't have as many protections on. I installed it on another physical drive, but anything other than the default should do.
The english patch installed perfectly after the game was patched.

I'm running the same OS but haven't re-installed since I formatted my drive. If I get a chance soon, I'll install and see how it goes. Maybe I'll run into the same issues and be able to help.

I couldn't for the life of me, get the game to run after I installed it on my new Win7 64 machine. I did all the patches, and english patch, but it would just load the setup screen, not the game.
I had to delete the install, go back to my old win98 machine, copy all the installed program folders on to a disc, then placed it on the Win7 computer. Loaded up perfectly with a quick edit of the setup screen. Then saved a new game, and search out the new location Ys6 placed the saved files. Then swapped out that new file for my old save files. Works Perfect now.
So that maybe an option for those that can't get it to patch right or load up.
