#17156: NANCY: My copy of Nancy 8 crashes because it can't find Diff.avf or

I recently got my hands on Nancy Drew 8 (The Haunted Carousel) on CD, but
when I try to play it in ScummVM I get no sound for the splash screen and
when I try to start the game it crashes with a "Couldn't load video file
Diff.avf or Diff.bik!" error.
It has the following files/directories on the root level:
{{{
CARAuto.exe 'Program Files' data1.cab layout.bin
Ciftree Setup.exe data1.hdr readme.txt
DirectX9 Setup.ini data2.cab setup.bmp
Nancy.cid autorun.inf ikernel.ex_ setup.inx
}}}
It seems to most closely matches this detection entry:
{{{
{ // MD5 by fracturehill
{
"nancy8", nullptr,
AD_ENTRY1s("ciftree.dat",
"d85192a942a207017ebf0a19207ac698", 19498032),
Common::EN_ANY,
Common::kPlatformWindows,
ADGF_DROPPLATFORM,
NANCY8_GUIOPTIONS
},
kGameTypeNancy8
},
}}}
The CIFTREE.DAT file is in the Ciftree directory. The Diff.avf file it's
looking for is in the CAB files.
So if I add the `GF_COMPRESSED` flag, it seems to work. But is this the
correct fix?
