How Do I Play Them Since They're Missing the Game File?

T.Hi

The "Snailquest' and 'SOL' games are missing the "winsetup" file, so how would I play them ???

You don't need that file to play them, you just need the EXE file that hopefully actually runs the game.

But if you want to access the setup, make a BAT file with:

[filenamehere].exe --setup

And run that. If you're using XP you may need to change compatibility mode.

Look for the game's executable ".exe" file.

So, for example, if the name of SOL's executable file is named "SOL.exe", then right-click on that file, and choose "Create Shortcut".

Now, on your new shortcut, right-click on it and select "Properties".
Click on the "Shortcut" tab, and where you see the "Target" path, at the end of this line add in the following command:
Code: ags
--setup
, so for example if the target was orginally something like: "c:\games\SOL.exe" Ã, it would now look like:
"c:\games\SOL.exe --setup"

Of course you change this according to the taget path and name.
Anways, now apply and ok the changes, then double-click on the Shortcut to run it, and now you should get the Setup options for the game. Ã, ;D
Good luck.

(Opps, I see someone beat me to it, but I'll still post my message here as I offer a slightly different approach with the "Shortcut" ideaÃ,  ;) )
