Anyone managed to install 3D Pinball in Vista

[Rojo Habe]

One game I've always enjoyed, ever since Win95 Plus, was Maxis's Space Cadet
Pinball. Now I have Vista and the game has been 'retired'.

I remember years ago reading a Knowledge Base article that described how to
install the game in Win 98 using the .inf file from the Win95 Plus CD. I
was wondering if a similar method will work to lift it of the XP disc.

Anyone had a go? Any success?

I don't know if it's the same program, but I copied the 3D Pinball Space
Cadet from XP over to Vista. Copyright 1995 Maxis. It works just fine.
Just copied the whole Pinball directory.

Yep, that's the one. I'm always looking for the complicated answer! Just
copying it across always seems too simple to me.

Many thanks. All working fine.
