Installer

The cd has an InstallShield installer, located at /Install/setup.exe. The files seem to be extracted from /Install/data1.cab. InstallShield cabs can be extracted using unshield or i5comp.

Based on comparing the state of a system before and after running the installer (no reverse-engineering techniques), it does the following:

• Extracts group "US Program Files" from data1.cab to APPDIR
• Extracts group "US Soundbank Editor" from data1.cab to APPDIR/User
• Extracts group "US Intro Graphics" from data1.cab to APPDIR/Graphics
• Extracts group "US Registration Program" from data1.cab to APPDIR
• Copies /Install/Install/WA.exe from cd to APPDIR
• Writes the following keys to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths]
