Microsoft Solitaire and Spider Solitaire from Windows XP

#1 Post by Napiophelios »

This article at Gadget Hacks has a direct link to a set up file that contains all the Windows 7 games.
they are not portable either, but still classic games without ads is nice.

I didn't run the installer, just extracted them.
Mahjong was really the only one I wanted but kept Spider solitaire too :)

Couldn't make them run. Following the instructions on the comments didn't help, either. Any ideas? I would love to have the win7's spider back...

Damn, I gave the wrong link.
This is the correct download link from a Gizmo's Freeware article.
Looks like some one already applied the patch to these games.

Here's a Virustotal scan of the actual archive

I didn't try the internet games, but for Chess, Spider Solitaire, & Mahjong:
CardGames.dll cmncliM.dll zgmprxy.dll -->go to system 32 folder
there should be a copy of slc.dll in each game folder.

Worked perfectly. Many thanks!
