I can't get this to work
I try to run the installer but it's telling me I don't have a retail copy of freespace 2. I bought the copy from good old games like the site suggests, but when i try to run the installer it says that I don't have a copy of the game. Also I could use help doing this for the first game as well.

Re: I can't get this to work
There's nothing to do with FS1 - you just play it through FS2 using the FreeSpace Port.

Did you actually unpack and install the GoG download?

Re: I can't get this to work
The installer should be able to run the GoG installer for you, select this option after you have selected a directory to install into:



Then select the gog installer .exe (setup_freespace2_2.0.0.8.exe, or maybe a more recent version).

What OS are you running?
