I can get it to run OK but it will not come up without the CD in the drive.

To play SHCE without the CD, copy the entire BUD folder and all the SMK files inside it from the CD (\SH\BUD) to your SILENT folder on your HD install location: \SILENT\BUD and edit the file "SHPATH.INI" in your SILENT folder (with Notepad) to look like this:
DATA =DATA\
ART =ART\
SFX =SFX\
SPEECH =SPEECH\
CINES =CINES\
SCEN =SCEN\
BUD =BUD\
SAVE =SAVE\
The game is looking for 10.SMK 16,630 KB (if you are limited on HD space) but nowadays with our huge HD's you may as well copy all the SMK files.
I used the Don Wells procedure to install mine... and hearing from numerous other people, SH1 - SHCE runs great on DOSBox too - which is nice!
Happy Hunting!
