Issues unresolved

Original Windows executables do not run/function

The following fix will allow the 3D accelerated executables to launch successfully. However, the main menu and cursor are unusable. The opening cutscene is also choppy
The fix was tested for the GOG.com release
Even with this partial fix, the software rendered executables (keeper95.exe and deeper95.exe) will not run at all
Instructions

Issues fixed

Installing under modern Windows

The game installer is 16-bit only, making it impossible to install the game without a 3rd party solution.
