Is there a lite version of just Quest that I can give to friends on a floppy (or email) so they can play my games?

It's just the quest package comes with everything else and is a big file (in terms of email) and it would be handy if we could just download just the player.

I'd like that to. I'd like to be able to download just the player in the zip format so I can play games without needing the whole package

The program needs certain file which the user may or may not have (also various versions)...
The installer installs these files so quest can run.
That's why it's so big.

Exactly, so you create a download package that only installs Quest, not Quest and QDK.

Again, re-read my post please...

You didn't read my post. It would be nice for Alex to create a package that installs Quest and not QDK. Just Quest. I understand the fact that it needs several large files. Just includ them in the install package that only installs Quest!

Excluding QDK does not make the download significantly smaller.

I realise that, but it would still be nice to have a package that only installed Quest. Especially for school where I get 50 MB limit

Sheesh - how hard is it to explain to you?

Quest would be a mere what, 1 meg lighter than it would be without QDK... The installer would probably only be 200K lighter...

Also if you don't know how to bypass your school's system and install directly to the C:\ drive or whatever (ad so avoid the 50 meg limit), then that's your problem...

We can't get to the C:\, and besides, we have access to about 100 different computers (rough estimate). The C:\ is not a network drive, it's a standard drive that you'd find in any computer
We each get 50 MB on a huge drive named H:\
They've disabled so many things that the system has become partly unstable. There are, however, many loopholes in it. Unfortunately, we can't install most programs.
I don't care about file size. I care about having a scaled down version of Quest that does not come with QDK or QuestNet. Repeat: I do not care about file size.

Yoda:care size file i do not. j/k

Number 1: you can easily access the C:\ drive... Go to save any file and type JUST "C:\" (without " s) and you'll get there (unless they've sorted out a secure program to block it with - which I seriously doubt).
Number 2: If you don't care about size then why did you bring it up in the first place?
Number 3: Why would you want to cut off the QDK capability to others'? There is no real reason.
Number 4: There are Quest custom builds, which comes as you request it to come.

you could also just distribute quest and the file, it's like, 'seomthign.ocx'...

1. I've tried that, there is no way that I know of to get to it. And, we cannot install any programs, even to our H:\
2. I didn't bring up the file size thing. That was Alex when he said that removing QDK and QuestNet from the installation would not reduce the file size by much
3. I never wanted to cut off QDK to others. I wanted a second package that just had an unzippable version of Quest.
4. Quest Custom Builds are for one game only and they cost money

Lol, I used to live in a little hick town. When I first arrived there was no security or anything. I repeatedly found ways to install programs, avoid their security (which rapidly grew stronger), etc. and by the time I left you couldn't do ANYTHING. They wouldn't even allow you to change your own password.

Must of been a very sad world.

we had RM on our school computers, and we have Novel on our college ones.

Sorry if I sound like n00b asking this but what are RM and Novel?

security systems for school computers

in what form do they come?

well, at the start you type in your login and password. RM doesn't allow access to my computer or anything. well, thats how it was at school. Novel just allows you to log into your own account i guess, i don't know it's exact purpose, but students and college arn't imature enough to go routing around the computer and changing settings and stuff i guess ^.^

RM..... HAHAHAHAAH....

Sorry, this post might be old but I've got to say what a laugh that piece of sh**e "security" that was.

I could get access to basically everything.

In college they had windows server 2000 running with windows 98 workstations. You could get a list up of all the students accounts (and teacher accounts), get programs of certain "server's", and if you write a program, could have probably stole loads of passwords....
I hardly tried and I could still access everything... Although every day or whatever I think the system's were reset and the hard-drive was usually wiped of any changes... Still, the actual security flaws were in windows itself - because it wasn't built for security!
