Yes, I remember well. Even I used Win95 OSR2 that times. This was the game that pushed me to buy 3Dfx Voodoo 1 that enabled me to play this on o'clocked Pentium 1 @200MHz in 640x480/hicolor quite well and enjoyed the nice graphics. SW rendered was not bad but more CPU hungry so I would had to use 320x200...

ShellExecuteW seems to be unicode variant of ShellExecute and it is supported from Windows XP. Maybe Unreal running under HX misdetected Windows version and try to call NT-api. Maybe it could be enforced to think it's running on Win9x to avoid this call...
