I use the retail DVD-ROM.

Very bad result, impossible to play. Read the top of the script.

# Script licence : GPL3
# Program licence : Retail

# CHANGELOG
# [Dadu042] (2019-07-01)
#   Initial writting.
#
# KNOW ISSUES
# - Installation seems OK (even if no graphics display), but does never end after coyping files. There are ':err:' in the install log file.
# - Virtual desktop does open but nothing more. Log: ":err:seh:setup_exception_record stack overflow 920 bytes ..."
