7th Guest Works In Vista
I remembered this game as a demo of the new multimedia CD ROM PCs that were coming out in the early 90's. I'd always wanted to play it. But it would not properly install in XP or Vista so I created a VM hoping to install it on Win95 or Win98... both of which I could not install in the VM. That left the XP installation which I was using for making portable apps.
I was able to install disk 2 (which comes first) but not 1. So I transferred all the files from disk 1 into the installation folder (including the zip folders) then unzipped t7g_win32 to that folder overwriting files. The game worked... clicking on the v32tng.exe mask icon though I didn't play it long enough to learn how to save files. On a hunch I moved that intact installation file out of the VM into my Vista machine and it works here too.
I suspect that most problems with this game are with the old installation files not with the game itself.
BTW the anti-spammer images here are the toughest I've yet seen. Do they have to be THAT hard?
