I've been going through the various EXE files for Circus! to see if I can get it to point to the DLLs inside its own folder instead of installing it to C:\Windows.

Which brings up an interesting question: are you looking for abandonware that is bit-for-bit equivalent to what was originally sold, or is it okay to make some modifications in the interest of making it playable?

It is better to be playable, and we can offer original installer (or something) as extra.

I'm not sure how do you hack into EXE. Good luck. You need help (I can ask someone that might know something about it)?

Also, what about games that don't need QuickTime? are they fine?

All of them appear to need QuickTime, but Math Ace Jr. uses the QT libraries included in its own folder. I'm not sure why the other games feel the need to sprawl the DLLs all over my hard drive when it's clearly not necessary.
