Setup Guide.
Download the game ISO or rip your original game disk. There is also a required Patch and an optional unlocker/trainer available for the game.
Download Daemon tools lite HERE How to use Daemon tools to mount your game ISO.
Install the Game as normal and then eject the ISO from Daemon Tools.
To apply the patch open the zip file and extract the .exe to the folder where you have installed the game, overwriting the existing file.

Load the Play disc ISO using Daemon tools and launch the Executable.
To play 'Ed Hunter' without mounting a CD image...
1) I used the application 7-Zip to open the original .iso file. Two .iso's are contained within:- 'Ed Hunter Install Disc.iso' and 'Ed Hunter Play Disc.iso'
2) Open 'Ed Hunter Install Disc.iso', copy all files to a sub folder within your desired 'Ed Hunter' folder. E.g. I called my folder ''Disc'' (E:\Games\Sinden Games\Ed Hunter\Disc)
3) Go to your 'Disc' folder and run SETUP.EXE (I installed to E:\Games\Sinden Games\Ed Hunter)
4) Back in 7-Zip, open the 'Ed Hunter Play Disc.iso', copy 'edhunter.jfs' into your ''Disc'' folder
5) Optional... Patch the game as per Titch's Vid
6) as per Titch's Vid, Set 'EDHUNTER.EXE' to Windows XP Service Pack 2 compatibility
7) Run EDHUNTER.EXE = game on!
