    I know this is a "windows vista ultimate only" feature but i'd like to play it. I only had home premium but still it looks pretty fun. The only problem is i can't figure out how to do it.

    I downloaded teh cab and tried the expand command that didn't work. Nothing's seeming to work with it. If it is against forum policies to ask for help with this then i don't mind this thread getting deleted. I'd just like to be able to play that game on my windows 7 pro.

    I remember Tinker was a lot of fun. The workarounds to get Tinker to work in 7 seem cumbersome, at least to me. I just wish MSFT would release some of the Ultimate Extras to 7 users, even if they're only available to 7 Ultimate, that's better than nothing.

    The method I posted works as well.
