Cheating the Installshield setup program
This is a discussion about Cheating the Installshield setup program in the Windows Games category; 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.

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.
DosFreak: how big are the extractors? e-mail them to me.
