What worked for me was installing Server Compact SQL into the folder that youre installing Rags into - think that error happens because the download link rags tries to use has since been discontinued.

Can anybody help me? I can't find the 2.4.16 version of RAGS anywhere. The official download site has been suspended it seems.

New links?
the link is dead,any new link?

Found a link for 2.4.16 here:

I will also note some steps I took to get the 2.4.16 version of rags to run the game I was trying to play (was getting "This RAGS game is unreadable" error, in this case the game was Whorelocks Revenge) on my Windows 10 machine

1) Download and install (using RagsSetup.msi) 2.4.16 to a folder not in Program Files (ex documents, desktop, etc)
2) Download the portable RAGS zip from the original post
3) Take all the files from the portable version that start with sql and place it in the same folder as your 2.4.16 install
4) download and install SSCERuntime - . Have the installer extract the files to your 2.4.16 folder and run both x64 and x86 installers it puts there
5) Following the troubleshooting steps in original post make sure the appropriate windows optional features are enabled
6) Reboot

Somehow after that it started loading. Note I already had SSCERuntime installed but for some reason it wasn't running; when extracting files to the install folder my game started loading so idk it's some weird shit.

I had an issue having the file load, if you have this issue: Look to your URL. Delete this = (Dont click if this links) but removing this from the URL when you select it, cleared up my issue.

How do I get the images to load? I'm using 3.1 and I have windows 11 and the game loads just no images and older versions don't work at all you double click and run nothing.

I used this years ago and made a fairly extensive game which I would like to add to now that I finally got it working again. Unfortunately this version is no longer registered and is in read only mode. How do I get around this?

Okay, I found the section here that explained about the crack which you can use to get around the registration. I got that to work and can now save changes I make to the RAGS game, but now I have another issue. I can save the game, but if I ever save over this save file (an overwrite) it says the game file is unreadable. Is this something anyone else has experienced? Is there a way around this? Should I just always create a new save file after I change something?

Did anyone had a success running Rags 2.4 on Win 11? If so I'd be happy to know how, I tried SQL everything really, I click on it and it just doesn't open up. Only Version 3. something

Will appreciate any help.
