Thanks for making the difference clear. The DRM system used by Metaboli won't let me run the game under VMware, and this is by design and undocumented. From what I researched, the game itself would have run just fine.
Anyway my complaint is misposted as I didn't buy it from the Adventure Shop, as I wasn't sure if I would be able to download the French version. I did find a direct link on the developer website and that's what I followed, and since all sites had Powered by Metaboli logos I wrongly assumed they were all the same thing, which isn't the case.
(And in the end I did install Syberia under "raw" unvirtualized Windows so that it would run - not what I wanted to do and I am still annoyed, but it worked. I am near the end of the second game and still haven't heard a word from those Metaboli people)
