For whoever wonder what the difference are between the 4 and 2 CD version, i found this from the official TLJ forums:

The 4 CD version has some problems with WinXP and newer soundcards, it was written about 5 years ago, for Windows 95. It was targeted at a Pentium 75 with a 4x CD-ROM, something that hardly anyone has these days.

The sound library has been replaced with audiere, a newer library that works better with new sound cards, and the game has been compiled to work with newer versions of Windows. 6 k8 J$ {6 ]* G

We removed the low-res videos to save a little space, and made the installer a little easier (only to installation options) to reduce the complexity of it.
