I am sure there are several ways to install SheepShaver. However, I have used the following way (at least woking to me).
- Create a folder for SheepShaver, e.g. C:\SheepShaver. I have created this folder in the root of the C drive. But you can have such folders anywhere you want.
- Unzip the downloaded SheepShaver zip file and copy all the unziped files including subfolders into the folder created above.
- Copy a C:\Sheepshaver\CD-ROM drivers\cdenable.sys file to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers. You need a CD drive for MacOS installation!
- Unzip SDL-1.2.11-win32.zip and copy a sdl.dll file into the SheepShaver folder.
- Install GTK+ runtime by double clicking the gtk-win32-2.10.6-1.exe file.
Should not forget to check the box of Register environment variables.
- Run SheepShaverGUI.exe in the SheepShaver folder by double clicking the icon.
If you see the following error message, (1) copy xmlparse.dll and xmltok.dll files from the C:\gtk\bin folder (if you install gtk+ with the default setting) into the SheepShaver folder or (2) add the path of "C:\gtk\bin" manually to the "Environment variables".
Personally, I recommend the (2) approach.
