HI Thomas, If it is not too much trouble, an installer like the one you describe would be greatly apreciated. Pleas make it happen #1. LOL.

A lot of people run out and buy new Windows 7 machines assuming their older games will work out of the box as they did on XP only to find that several older libraries such as those for Visual Basic 6 etc were deprecated and removed. Then, those libraries have to be installed using a third-party installer such as Winkit to restore functionality to said older games. So the more we can do to document this fact the more often people can get up and running without a huge hassle. Speaking of installing libraries I'm wondering if perhaps I shouldn't just create a compatibility pack containing the VB 6 libraries, missing DirectX 8 components, etc so we wouldn't have to install Winkit. Installing Winkit is fine, but if someone doesn't want the Kitchens Inc game menu, Life, and other stuff in that package mine could just be a barebones package for Windows 7 users who need this stuff for the GMA Games, Kitchens Inc games, Draconis games, whatever.
