Turns out as opposed to Hocus Pocus this game needs franken mix of installed data and data from the disc with some filename changes. This should be noted in compatibility list.
CD -> PPTP.ORB
CD -> Pptp.ex_ -> rename to PPTP.EXE
Installation DIR -> Pptp.bro

No, please, don't close the tickets like this or assign them to yourself :)

This, in fact, should be addressed. Could you please provide me with the disk file layout, e.g. "DIR /S" or a similar recursive disk directory listing?

I literally thought that in the end it was user error, lol.
Here is dir /s of the disc

Owner: changed from TheRadziu to sev-
Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Thank you, that is helpful.

Per the ScummVM approach, we do not ask users to run any installers, because in many cases they are tied to a specific OS, like Windows in this case and we cannot expect the users to have access to it.

Thus, you shouldn't get PPTP.BRO file in the first place and open this bugreport :)

I added support for this disc layout and updated https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Pink_Panther:_Passport_to_Peril#Required_data_files

Please test, but instead of assembling the files around the disks, just copy over the whole CD contents as is and point the ScummVM to the resulting directory.

Updated to latest daily build and I can confirm it works out of the box straight from CD, thank you for the quick fix.

Can't wait for 2.7.x to go stable and to be able to get it as flatpak so I can play those two games on Steam Deck without figuring out how to build it myself.

Cheers!
