Rpgmaker 2003 RTP trouble

[HumanSuplexMachine]

Got a new computer a while back and I've just started getting all my RPGMaker games working again but for some reason I keep getting various errors when attempting to install the RTP for 2003 and 2000. The games itself keep claiming the RTP is not installed or registered and one of the actual installing .exe said the same. Usually they just stop midway through installation.

Can anyone offer some help?

As this is more about getting the engine to work, I shall move this to Technical Support.

If a game was made with the pirated version of RM2K(3), then it needs to be converted with the legal version (which was released only in 2015) to use the legal RTP from this site. There are a few changes that were required with it updating to be able to run on modern Windows versions.

How do I go about fixing that?

you need to open the game in a legal version and saved it again with that maker - that should solve a lot of cases.
However, there are several games that used patched engines to get functions that didn't exist in the base engine - in such cases you'll have to search for an updated patch that complies to the legal version and it's special Patch EULA and use that.

Thanks for the help but I've decided to just leave it. I only have VX and there's no trial version of 2003 available so I'm just gonna delete the game and find something else to play.

Thanks.
