Hi,
The file is a windows installer... simply run and it will install.
You do not need to copy files anywhere.

Re: Video Quality Discussion
Hi, The STC version of the game detects when video is playing with black lines and does the following: 1) skip every second line to eliminate the black lines. 2) skip every second horizontal pixel to eliminate the pixel duplication the original games did. 3) convert to 32-bit colour. 4) transfer to ...

Re: problems with 3d surface in Leisure suit Larry 7

Process - how it works
The Sierra games have a number of quirks that make them incompatible with modern versions of Windows and fast CPUs. As an example, the immediate error with Phantasmagoria 2 is due to the executable calling a Windows API while the stack-pointer is miss-aligned. Stage 1: Disassembler I wrote the disas...

Multi-CD games
The STC model to date has been to install the executable and normal install files to the hard drive, then use the user-supplied CDs.
