The CAB starts at byte464312, spans191706128 bytes and contains37 files totaling 206866962 extracted bytes. tools/extract-dungeon-siege-demo.js checks source identity, cabinet entries, integrity and file sizes; extraction does not imply Windows installation. Original DungeonSiegeDemo.exe is3608640 bytes, SHA256 8df1ba314073f8e9e7b48c7ed0fd3a976b1dafb722bffcb41f613a4c60a421ab.

The experimental local registration uses the extracted executable, original BinkW32.dll and Mss32.dll, and a generated companion-file manifest. The GAS file is required at startup; other companions load lazily. This is not a public app.

Startup blockers

• ANSI resource enumeration and nested callbacks were fixed in main77cca122f. A fresh original run passed that chain and reached EIP0x617fcc, the original jmp [0x6f521c] import for KERNEL32.VerLanguageNameA, with language0x0409. Evidence: scratch/runs/20261009T0003Z-dungeon-siege-verlanguage.
• Mainbab6e2494 adds generic VerLanguageNameA/W. See the API handoff for contracts, source pins and passing tests. Fresh original browser run20261009T0110Z-dungeon-siege-lazy-rtf passes this blocker, then traps at EIP0xc35ac0: fs_create_file_result opens lazy EULA.RTF (6532bytes), and its RTF stylesheet-expansion shim touches entry.data synchronously. The async-only provider throws VfsPendingError. Fix the generic file-open/RTF-consumer boundary; do not hide it with a blanket eager manifest or skip formatting only for lazy files.

The demo EULA window now renders; player-controlled gameplay is not qualified. Do not count installer extraction or an API regression as gameplay, FPS or audio proof. Older stopped-box evidence at bx_hgju4y2b is a separate recovery permission boundary; newer fresh tests do not recover or overwrite it.

Lazy RTF open fixed (2026-10-09)

Main b493bc3b9 parks CreateFileA/W while its RTF compatibility consumer loads the file, preserving the original bytes and expanded read view. The unchanged manifest still has1 eager and33 lazy companions. Original startup now displays the EULA, with HTTP206 for EULA.RTF bytes0-6531. Capture: scratch/runs/20261009T0125Z-dungeon-siege-eula; native tests: scratch/runs/20261009T0122Z-lazy-rtf-open. Accept was not pressed because the user instruction says not to answer approvals; an explicit decision was requested. Browser56868/Chrome56883 exited0; temporary box stopped. This is startup progress, not gameplay/FPS/audio qualification.
