Re: [Audyssey] Games on a laptop.
Hi Thomas, The problem that I would have with you redistributing my games with the Inno Setup is, when people called or wrote asking questions, and I would not be able to answer. That would not be good.

Re: [Audyssey] Games on a laptop.
Hi Dark, All of Jim's games use flat databases. IE just a plain text file with a *.dat extension where he puts all the game information. Its nothing fancy or complicated to be sure. Anyone can just extract the files to a temp directory, zip them up, and when they want to install them just unzip them to c:\Program Files\Kitchinsinc or to c:\Program files (x86)\Kitchensinc depending on which version of Windows they have. There is nothing overly difficult about that. :D I am personally working on an actual setup for all of Jim's games for myself personally, but I'm not sure about redistributing them since Jim is against using Inno Setup etc for his games. So what I'm doing is for personal use only unless Jim is willing to let me redistribute my setup for others.

Re: [Audyssey] Games on a laptop.
Hi Darren, Actually, no. Since all of Jim's games depend on Winkit and always exit back to his menu program if you linked directly to the *.exe files and didn't install the game menu they would crash when exiting. Besides this doesn't answer Lisa's question which was if there was a single installer for all of Jim's games. As it happens the answer is no to that question. :D On 10/8/12, Darren Harris wrote: > Hi, > > What you could do though is create icons on the desktop to the exe files > that run the various games and get round it that way. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
