I'm trying to run Pants Vs. Zombies 2 on my Windows 8 laptop using BlueStacks. However, as the latest version of BlueStacks requires a Graphics card for the program to run and I don't have one, I have download what I assume is an older version of Bluestacks from this link:

Now here's my problem. For Plants Vs Zombies, I have an APK file and an OBB file. I understand how to install the APK file and run the game through the APK file but this isnt working. When I try to run it says "The app is not installed. Please install the app and try again." Although when I open BlueStacks I can still find the app there. When I click on it in BlueStacks though, I get two things:
- "Download failed because the resources could not be found"
- "Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
I'm pretty sure I need to put the OBB file (containing the bulk of the app's data) in the appropriate folder. I believe this would be the SD card folder which BlueStacks uses.
Other forum's I've looked at have said you can find it in C:\ ProgramData\ BlueStacks\ UserData\ SharedFolder\ but I don't have the SharedFolder. My computer goes like this C:\ ProgramData\ BlueStacks\ UserData\ Library. There's only a "Library" folder. Nothing else. Inside the library folder there is Library\My Apps but I tried putting the data in there and it was no good.
It's been suggested to use the Dropbox on my computer to sync files with BlueStacks. I have no Dropbox on my computer (that I know of). I searched my entire computer and found nothing.
I tried everything here:

(It's related to using Root Explorer and Registry Editor to modify pathways and create an SD card folder, but once again I was missing the necessary "SharedFolder" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\ SOFTWARE\ BlueStacks\ Guests\ Android\ SharedFolder\ 0
I think the SharedFolder business is part of newer versions of BlueStacks, so I'd like to know where the SD Card is in my version.
Can someone PLEASE help me find where I need to put my OBB file!?
