Hi Thomas,
As I told you on Monday
Thomas I would also like to say that my winkit.zip file contains the files
Setup.exe, Setup.lst and Gamemenu.cab. It is an actual Microsoft Visual Basic
6 install program and thus puts the files where they belong. I E the library
files in c:\windows\system32.
I guess that it is actually called the Microsoft Visual Studio 6 package &
Deployment Wizard. But yes I guess that I did miss the create an Icon part of
it. But I have helped a heck of allot of people make a desk top icon to the
gamemenu.exe file and a heck of allot of others knew to do that on their own
which means that from one icon you have access to all of my games through the
game menu program.
As far as my games not being 100 percent independent games, no they are not 100
percent. You must start with the WinKit.zip and life and then install all or
any of the other games that you want.
Like it says on my web site
winkit.zip 2.4m bytes May 2003
contains a game menu system and the board game of life
Please install the winkit.zip file before installing any of the below games.
Yeah Thomas, you know what they say about assuming. And I think that is very
true if you assume that I do my games in anything near a standard way. Heck
they are not even a product, they are my sharable accessible game creations.
You know like my life love hobby. Well they have only been in accessible form
for 17 years or so, but you know what I mean.
BFN
Jim
If it doesn't say Kitchen's Inc on it. Someone else made it.

Hi Jim,
Yes, I was getting that error. I didn't really know what winkit did
until you explained it here on list. All I knew was that it had to be
installed, but I wasn't necessarily aware all the files had to be in the
exact same folder, or that Winkit linked all of the games together.
You see, for me I thought all of your games were individual programs
totally independant from each other. I assumed you could extract them
altogether or extract them wherever you wanted, click the *.exe file,
and begin playing. It never occurred to me you had written a custom
launcher program, and you had never intended for the games to be totally
100% independant programs.
As a developer myself I sort of assumed you were like most developers
creating each game as an individual stand alone product, and the only
reason you hadn't gotten around to an installer is that you either
didn't have one or know how to use one. So smart or dumb as I was I
assumed allot of things based on what a standard programmer would do,
and never really looked into how the games are suppose to be setup.
In any case I have copied all of the files into one folder, and they all
work fine now.
Thanks.
