I didn't add such an entry. I only duplicated the original installer and patches. Beyond that, there is the replacement Outlaws launcher I wrote and and a program, "OLRUN.EXE" that I wrote to kill Explorer before starting the game and restart Explorer after the game exits. This seems to fix the …

I updated my installer. I recreated the launcher to redirect it to an app that will kill explorer before launching the game and restart it when you quit the game. It does not include a wrapper, but that is easy enough to do after the fact. If there is some kind of consensus as to the best one I can …

Some will not install on win7 x64 because he install programs are 16bit So you would need to install them in a 32bit o/s or a vm and copy them over. Sometimes it is more involved than that. Many Windows games require registry entries or an INI in the Windows directory. Some require some systems …
