Is there a way to remove Tagès from the Simon the sorcerer 4 installation program?
Game installation is impossible on modern systems (Vista and newer) because it installs old Tagès drivers and gives a compatibility error/installation abort. U have to manually install the updated version of that crap (http://www.tagesprotection.com/main.htm) every time you want to install the game -_-

Short of rebuilding the install files probably not. Could just use the Crackfix from ABSURD and make a full-rip from ISO then there would be no need of installing the updated Tagès drivers. And then just leave the ISO as a collector's item.

Best I could do is modify msi installer to:
- not blow up if Tages isn't there
- don't install it either
(no Tages shows up in system32/drivers)


You could either:
1) Create new dvd with replacement msi files. Ala Reloaded scene method.
2) Copy dvd install files to hdd. Replace msi file on hdd. Run installer. <=== Method I chose

For Spanish - Italian I'd need those msi files from dvd. Then I can hack those out too.
