Thanks for the tips. Got it running and working fine but got to the point where I set the trap (I had enough clues) but the suspects were greyed out and couldn't be selected, meaning I was unable to "win" the game. Tried saving and reloading the game entirely to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. Still managed to complete a whole game and have the satisfaction that came along with it!
Probably could be fixed by running it in a virtual Windows 98 machine rather than natively on your Windows 10 like me.

Trying to install on windows 11 and after mounting the iso with WinCDEmu and clicking install on the menu it closes and nothing happens. There's no Southpeak folder in the program files (x86) folder and I'm not sure where to go from here.

This probably should be done for all of these series of games pre 2000 and you have to run the game as administrator on win 10 64
TATEROT issue. Download WinCDEmu 4.1(which I used to install game). https://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/ 1. Reinstall the entire game 2. Then Uninstall.

I got the game videos working in Windows 10 copying dgVoodoo files into the installation folder. AVI files were set to play with Windows Media Player by default - I didn't try with other players.

When I follow the instructions in the comments I get an "access violation error". Anyone have any suggestions?

So I accidentally deleted my OS (C:), Program Files (x86), Southpeak Interactive, Scooby-Doo files. Now the game won't play but it also won't let me uninstall the game without giving me an error message saying the file doesn't exist to uninstall. Anyone have any suggestions to fix this?

Full Disclaimer- There is no guarantee this will work for you, this is just what worked for me. I am running Windows 10. I got the game running including videos.
MATTIUS covers everything you need to do for the game, basically you need to install the game and run it. Just to be thorough I included what I did.
1. Download the ISO zip from this page. 2. Unzip the .zip file so you have an .ISO file. 3. Mount the .ISO, this website's guide has several programs it suggests. This is very important because it needs to be mounted to play the game as there isn't a noCD crack for the game (as far as I know, if you know of one please comment). 4. Install the game, but not DirectX 5. Set Windows Media Player as your default player for .avi files 6. Play the game from Scooby.exe where ever you had the game installed. The default location is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Southpeak Entertainment\Scooby Doo\"
===
FOR THE VIDEOS, you need to change your default player for .avi files to be Windows Media Player, and make sure you have Windows Media Player installed. Do not use the installer on the disc, it is outdated and no longer supported. - If you need a simple way of doing it, find the videos for the game where it was installed and go into the Video folder. Then Right-Click on any of the video files, and go to Open with Choose another app - From there select Windows Media Player and then tick the box next to "Always use this app to open .avi files" and then click okay. - After that just close Windows Media Player, and play the game and your videos should play.

Windows 10 Step-by-Step Guide: Step 1) Download the ISO ZIP file from this page. Step 2) Unzip/Extract the ISO from the Downloaded ZIP File. There should be one file: A Disk File. Step 3) Click on this Disk File and the game files should appear. (You should also now see DVD Drive (D:) Scooby Doo in your File Explorer's Side Bar) Step 4) Locate Install.exe in these files, click on it and install the program. (You may run into an error with DirectX at the end, but it should not matter.) Step 5) A menu will appear with Play, Read Me, Uninstall, etc. Clicking on play will result in a "Scooby.exe does not exist" error to appear. Ignore this menu and exit back to your desktop. Step 6) Go to your OS (C:), Program Files (x86), Southpeak Interactive, Scooby-Doo. Step 7) Click on Scooby.exe and the game will load. None of the videos work, so pressing Start will get you to the main menu of the game.
Here's what works for me on Windows 10, can't guarantee it'll 100% work for everyone, but hopefully it'll help someone out.

Have the original CD even, but just like this download, neither will do anything with the setup.exe or install.exe after you click on Install. It just spins for a bit and apparently does nothing. Fiddled with compatibility settings too. This site has been the most helpful for this game, which isn't saying much. Wish there was a complete step-by-step to install & run this in Windows 10...

So for those people running into scooby.exe does not exist, you need to have the disc file up and running, but launch the game from where you store it in memory. You can't launch it from the disc itself. For example, the scoobby.exe that I need to run is in Program_Files(x86)/Southpeak Entertainment/Scooby Doo/Scooby.exe

For those of you having issues running this on Windows 10, you need to right click - Mount ISO and install. It will work without compatibility settings, but you need to turn off walking animation. If you enable compatibility settings, you can have walking animation, but none of the videos work.

You need to install direct x 6
