I need some help. I got the game in a state where I could run it, but every time I try to start it, it tells me I can't because it's not detecting a CD-rom drive. my issue is that my computer doesn't have a CD-rom, it dosne't have any hardware for running CD's or DVD's. is there some work around I could install or can I just not play this?

Seems the file ikernel.exe is named wrong as ikernel.ex_ and thus the install wizard won't work. So what I did was copy all the files from the .ISO to new folder I named TheThing_UK and then renamed the copied ikernel.ex_ to ikernel.exe , after that the installation worked from my new folder. I hope it helps you too!

guys, girls, thanks for this! i enjoy a lot this game that a saw so many years ago.
ISTALL WIN 10
1)mount iso, istall the game by 'setup exe.'
2) istall the euro pach (download from this site)
3) run with admin privileges and compatibility set on 'windows xp service pack2'
4) enjoy!
ISTALL WIN 10 + RESHADE (post processing for antialiasing and other fun thing and graphics improvments)
1)mount iso, istall the game by 'setup exe.'
2) istall the euro pach (download from this site)
3) download reshade (https://reshade.me/) and also the d3d8to9 (converter for directx8 to direct x9) because reshade dosn't support directx8, so you have to download this dll.file (https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases)
4)istall reshade in your games folder ( tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGNSxGvTFpY ) and select directx9 in the options.
5)copy your d3d8.dll file into the game folder (C:/x86/computer artworks/the thing/bin)
6) run the game WITHOUT admin permission and compatibility options.
7) enjoy. the first video credits doesn't appear but when you are in the main menu all works fine.

Run with Administrator privileges and select Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and it WORKS. An awesome game.

Both version are ISO

@BENJAMINGRIMM Because games were usually compressed to fit on CD or DVD, they would unpack as they installed making the installation (or 'rip') larger than the disc contents.

Die Firma dankt für den Upload

The game installs via the setup wizard but once you install and click run it does not respond at all.
