   my windows 10 machine is not advanced enough to play this game from 1996!

     weirdly they used a 16bit wrapper for a 32bit EXE.
     the 16bit setup program decompresses a 32bit setup program and runs that.

     this means it doesn't work on 64bit windows, just because the first phase of the installer is 16bit

     @foone i was thinking this looked a lot like the snag I ran into while trying to install Bonzi Buddy on either modern Windows or WINE (I forget which). 16 bit installer.

     @BetaRays there are some tools yeah, I just don't have them installed here. so I just used otvdm and then grabbed the 32bit exe out of temp, stuck it in the install directory, and ran that

     @foone Are there any tools like innoextract or unar that would be able to extract this? Or did you just use an older machine or VM?
