Okay, having heard from someone else on this forum Nightmare Ned can be installed with InnoSetup and made to work with dgvoodoo2 I have tried again to get this game to work in Windows 10. After installing InnoSetup and looking at dgvoodoo2 I am left with several questions:

1. A search of these forums tells me there are several people who apparently have used InnoSetup, however I can't figure it out. From the website and running the program I have learned it's something used to create installers. That's nice,
but am I expected to somehow build my own installer? How am I supposed to know what an installer for Nightmare Ned should look like? How does this program help people install Nightmare Ned?
2. Okay, as far I can figure out what dgvoodoo2 is, it provides replacement dlls for a game's DirectX related stuff. Beyond the fact that I am supposed to copy *.dlls to the game's folder I have no idea what this is supposed to accomplish. Nighmare Ned still complains about dino2d.dll and dmix.dll missing. Downloading these files and copying to the game folder doesn't help either. I end up with some error about a missing entry point.

How did I (partially?) install Nightmare Ned without InnoSetup? I did find a 32-bit substitute installer (setup32.exe) on the internet.

Browsing the websites for InnoSetup and dgvoodoo2 I feel completely lost. Perhaps users with more knowledge about these things should create a guide to allow a complete newcomer (such as me) to easily learn how to use this software?

(and after all, I did not use dgVoodoo2)

You need the NOCD EXE below (if you want to play without the CD), and all the files (especially video files and the Intel codec files) come from an existing installation of the game made inside Windows 98SE (a real one, or a VM. The point is to recover the files once the installation is made) or from the CD.

Hi xcomcmdr, thank you for taking the time to reply. I tried your installer, but unfortunately I just get a bunch of error messages about dmix.dll/dino32.dll/some smk dll thingy not being found. Could you describe how you installed the game step by step?

And just to be clear, you did get it to work on Windows 10 64-bit natively, correct?

With the link provided in pm you have everything.

The script above is the source if you want to recreate it. The missing files need to come from both thé original CD and an existing installation. But that's the hard way.

Hi, the installer you pm'ed me installs the game without complaint, however the game will not start. After clicking "Jouer" something appears to be opened (I get a black screen) for a few seconds and then closed. What could be going on?

Well I made it years ago and the latest version of Windows 10 might have changed things. I'll try it again shortly.

So, this happens when dgVoodoo2 isn't used.

I made an update, where dgVoodoo2 is updated and used by default.

Hi, xcomcmdr. I downloaded and installed your update. The same thing keeps happening.

Well, damn.

Did you try disabling dgVoodoo2 ? Windows 95 compatibility ?

It works only with dgVoodoo2 on my end (Windows 10 20H2, nVidia GPU).

Windows 95 compatibility doesn't help. Disabling dgvoodoo2 doesn't work either.

See the attached mypc.nfo for details about my computer.

Is there any way to debug this stuff you provided?

You could try to see what's it's trying to do with dgVoodoo2 debug version and ask for help to Dege :

Spec Release dgVoodoo version (with Debug Layer)

I downloaded DebugView and it doesn't appear to capture anything regardless of whether or not I am running it as an administrator. What gives?

Okay, I tried installing Nightmare Ned using the unmodified setup files I already had and manually copied dmix.dll and dino2d.dll. According to a dependency walker I used NiteNed.exe is trying to import a function called _grdCreateEx@24 from dino2d.dll but failing. The dino2d.dll file I have does appear to be exporting a function called _grdCreate@20 - Could this be a version issue?
