Although the game installer is 16-bit, the actual game is 32-bit. There are two ways of running the game:

Running the exe from the disk^{[citation needed]}
In the Widget Workshop CD, go to the `WIN95\WIDGET` folder. Run the WIDGET.EXE file to play the game.

This also allows the game to no longer require a CD to use

Setting up the game manually^{[citation needed]}
Somewhere on the computer (ex. the Desktop), create a new folder called "Widget Workshop". In the Widget Workshop CD, go to the `WIN95\WIDGET` folder. Copy the contents of the folder and paste them into the folder that was created before. When everything has finished copying, go into the installation folder and run the WIDGET.EXE file to play the game.
