I remember someone telling me I could try installing the game in a VM and then try moving the installed game to my Windows 10 OS since I know it will run, it’s just the installation getting in the way. When I click on the .exe it just notifies me I need to install the game first. I was wanting to know how I might attempt trying this? What folders/files would I need to copy out of my VM to my host machine for my machine to recognize is as an installed game? When I looked the only differences I noticed being added after installation in my VM was a folder within Windows with a registry .ini and a folder with 3 icons and a saved games folder within documents I believe. There obviously has to be more than that though. What else does the installed game add/change that I would need to copy over? Is there any way to find out exactly what the game places in registry and other places after installation?
ETA: So, I found a program that will snapshot the differences in the registry and documents for changes before and after an install. Besides registry, .ini files, and text documents is there anywhere else I need to check that a game’s installation adds to?
