Does anyone know if there's a way to make the Installshield setup program think the program is being installed to w9x instead of W2K? Most W95-games are installed with this program and 95% of them complain about the OS not being W95. You'd think this wouldn't be too hard to get around.

And no, apcompat.exe doesn't work, at least not for me, nor does QFixApp included with the W2K Support Tools.

I tried one of them Installshield trial apps (Tuner I think) but couldn't make it work. But yeah, I'd sure like to try some other stuff too, go ahead and email me.
