For Admiral Sea Battles it would be nice to run it from an archive, even if WinG and the registry entries have to be added manually, because the installer tries to measure free space and won't install if it gets freaked out by today's hard drives. But that route runs up against a CD check anyway. A virtual machine is the only other option.

The archive is about 18.5 MB zipped, so I'll go ahead and put it up first. (That brings up another point - the installer has 4 size settings. This was the largest one which would remain under 150 MB when unzipped.)

I'm guessing the main problem with offering installers is the size of the things?

Crush! Deluxe seems to be 95% functional if run from an archive (there are certain minor things to avoid doing) but for the CD check. I'd like to have a crack for that myself. Is there any news on that?
