    into the System Folder of OS 9...



    remember; you are only unable to boot into OS 9, not running it as Classic.

    There are only 2 apps that I've seen that couldn't install through classic: VPC 4 (VPC 3does) and SPSS 10. Other than that, I can't think of any.



    To do it, just double click the installer and classic will launch automatically.
