InstallShield installer located at /Install/Install.exe. The files seem to be extracted from /Install/data1.cab. InstallShield cabs can be extracted manually with unshield or i5comp.

- Extract group "Program Executable Files" from data1.cab to APPDIR
- Copies /Install/Install/WA.exe from cd to APPDIR
- Copies /Data/Resources/LANGUAGE/readme.rtf to APPDIR
- Copies /Data/Resources/LANGUAGE/names.wdb to APPDIR/User
- Copies the directory /Data/User/Speech/English/ to create APPDIR/User/Speech. does this change if the language changes?
- Creates empty directories Fanfare, SavedLevels, Schemes, and Support in APPDIR/User.
