installation worked, when i tried to play my keys don’t work and i checked configurations and options in the game, mouse button works and spacebar but i can’t walk anywhere or move at all, only jump and cast a spell, chamber of secrets worked perfectly
Download the windows 10 fix from this page, then proceed to have both the main folder and fix folder open and drag and drop the files, if files need to be overwritten, proceed to do so.

im not getting’
please help me
this is not at all working for me
I had an issue with the HPLauncher.exe file (kept saying it couldn’t find what that .exe was directed to) but simply going into the system folder (and maybe downloading the Win10 Fix) and running HP.exe had it work first try.
Also if your screen starts spinning after a cutscene, try making sure you don’t have a controller plugged in. For some reason it doesn’t like that. Even if you don’t have stick drift it still spins.
UPDATE: I have managed to uninstall the program using a variety of programs to. Now I’ve downloaded the files version (no installation), but when the game loads, everything is playing at least twice the speed. Cutscenes are only playing the first few words before jumping to the next step in the scene and character talking is also sped up. When moving Harry around he moves at triple the speed he should… Any help would be hugely appreciated!
…………………………
I have just installed this via the ISO file on Win10, however I can’t run it and I also can’t uninstall it – just keep getting error “setup failed to launch installation engine class not registered”. I’ve tried running as Admin – I’ve tried everything… Can anyone offer any advice? How can I uninstall this so I can try a fresh install? TIA! 🙂
how did you uninstall it? I’ve been trying and it says that “Support files are missing”
Got it to work via Windows method 2 but it is WAY WAY too laggy to be playable.
Every time you cast a spell the lag lasts like 15 seconds. Makes the challenges impossible and the game unplayable.
Fail.
can you make a video explaining how to download it effectively?

can you try making a video walking people through how to download it?
Okay, I’m done installing.
I click on the icon and the game does not open, even when I try to open it as an administrator
You will need the no-cd crack regardless of if you have the physical CD-ROM or not.
This game will not run on modern operating systems without the crack. You will need to right click on the HP.exe crack, click copy, and then go to this path:
C:Program Files (x86)EA GamesHarry PotterSystem
Once in the System folder, right click in an empty space and click Paste.
Windows will then prompt with a warning saying ‘You’re about to overwrite a file with the same name’ click Yes/Okay/Continue.
Then try running the game again.

I got the game up and running, but every time I get past the first cutscene the screen just starts uncontrollably spinning. Any idea what to do to fix it?
Hey there,
Sounds like you might need a fresh installation. I’d recommend uninstalling and then reinstalling.
