Re: Build an executable with DOSBox

NSIS is what I use. http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page As to the possibility of becoming outdated, my installers do not include DOSBox.

Re: Leisure Suit Larry 6 (Talkie) 16bit ??

Nope, only 8. If you run an SCI Windows version with the desktop set to a higher color depth, the game will complain that you should lower it to 256 colors. If you ignore the warning, the images will not be rendered properly, often with a black screen that may have swaths repainted as a sprite …
