Hello everybody.

I was playing around with a FreeDOS VM, and downloaded Terminate 5.00 to use on it.

When I try to run INSTALL.EXE, I get the classic Error 200 from Pascal.

Tried to use the TPPatch.exe and nothing... Should I decompress the .EXE file, patch it and compress it again?

Decompressing would help usually.

I've always used something called PATCHCRT.EXE ...

It is available here:

Uncompress, get and use PATCHCRT and leave it as it is. No need to
recompress.

if the binary is compressed, of course you have to uncompress it first ;)

recompressing it is up to you for the most part... just be aware that some software has built-in tamper-detection code so no matter what you do, you may be screwed... only solution in many of those cases is to run a TSR like
moslow or similar which makes the CPU slower in that instance so the timing calibration won't all take place within the same second leading to x-x=0 where 0 is used for the divide operation...
