I don't think this would be a problem, Japo. None of the Abandonia staff members gave me concerns regarding my zipped archive for the Lost Mind of Dr. Brain containing the original installer.

You just might want to have a standard reminder for people that if the game needs to read from the CD, they need to keep the folder with the installer in the exact same spot as when they first installed it. This is because the installer folder is made to be the CD-ROM drive for the game; thus, this means the installer folder is treated like a real CD-ROM drive.
