The Semi-Official Girl Genius Decoder Wheel Program

Installation instructions

This program comes in 5 self-extracting archives:
  Decoder.exe
  Wheels1.exe
  Wheels2.exe
  Wheels3.exe
  Media.exe

This is a hands-on installation:

1.  Run the first four in order.  They will want to create two directories,
    \Decoder and \Decoder\Wheels.  You can change the name of the Decoder
    directory, or place it somewhere besides the root.  If you change the
    name of the Wheels directory, or move it from the decoder's directory,
    the program won't be able to find its bitmaps, and it will throw a hissy
    fit.
2.  Create a desktop shortcut to the decoder program, D_Coder.exe
3.  If you don't hear the sound effects when the program is running,
    use File | Options to set the location of your .WAV files and set
    the Sound Level option to one of the sound choices.
4.  If you still don't hear the normal sound effects, run Media.exe
    and have it extract its files into your chosen .WAV directory.  It 
    defaults to \Windows\Media.
5.  If you _still_ don't hear the sound effects, and the Sound Level
    is not set to No Sound, check your system's volume setting.
