Trying to get this to run on my 6 year-old's computer, because she loves playing it at the library.
What I have tried so far:
Windows 7 - native
The game installs fine, but when you try to play it it complains it can't find quicktime.
Quicktime could not be initialized, the product will run but videos will not play. The probable cause is a bad quicktime installation. Please re-run Setup and re-install Quicktime.
I did install Quicktime 2.1.2 that came with it, and even though that seemed to work I doubt that is compatible with Windows 7 such that the DK app will "find" it. I tried a few other versions of quicktime, but no joy yet.
Windows 95 - dosbox-x
Install runs fine, but the game won't start because the CD is not in the drive. I tried the official patch from DK to run without the cd, but that doesn't seem to work in Win95.
Are there any cd emulation programs that actually work with Win95? I tried Alcohol 120%, Daemon tools and WinCDEmu, but didn't get one to work.
Windows XP - virtualbox
The install and game work (with WinCDEmu), but the video is kind of choppy. I also wasn't able to run virtual windows xp on her computer (my old box from 2011). I might wipe her drive and just install XP so it can run natively, but am looking for any advice towards a simpler way to run this.
Thanks for all you folks do archiving gaming history.
