I used the full version bundled with my Creative TNT2 card. According to the manual/readme its the retail version (no words about any OEM changes).
System:
AMD K6-III+ @ 500mhz
Epox Socket 7 motherboard, latest BIOS. MVP3 chipset
128MB SDRAM
G400 16MB (I don't own a G450)
AWE64 Value
I installed the latest drivers found on Matrox's webpage.
I then installed the game, no issues, standard installation path (C:\Program Files\...)
Tested the game, only got the PowerVR card in the Display Adapter selector, but the game ran fine 😀
Copied over the patch files into the directory. Tried to run the game, but crash to desktop.
Opened Setup and saw only PowerVR card could be selected, so I figured it was messing stuff up. Powered down and removed it.
Back into Windows the G400 finally recognized by Setup as a Display Adapter.
Selected 1024x768 16bit, everything else checked. Sound Miles Fast 2D. Game starts up with AMD K6 screen 😀
After some more testing when I tried to select 32bit color it crashes to desktop. Dunno what causes this, could be drivers.
EDIT: Regarding 32bit color and Matrox G400 I see alot of other people are complaining about crashes in Expendable on Google Groups.
