Common installation problems:
  1. The downloaded file's name must end with .exe:
    Sometimes during the download, the file extension of .exe is lost from the file's name. To correct this, simply rename the file and add the .exe:
    • Value Pack: valupack.exe
    • Puppets Around the World: pworld.exe
    • Games To Make: aacgames.exe
    • Boxes and Bags: aacboxes.exe
    • Paper Airplames: aacplane.exe

  2. The installation must be run from your system's hard disk:
    The installation will not run correctly from the Windows Desktop or a diskette. If you downloaded to either the Desktop or a diskette, copy the installation file to a folder on your hard disk. (When copying from the Desktop to a folder, be sure to hold the Shift key while you drag-and-drop.)
