I downloaded Classilla and used it to download Inigo Gets Out.sit from macintoshgarden.org When extracting it using Stuffit Expander 5.5 I get an error saying that it can't be opened because the application that created it could not be found.

I am on macOS Sierra

Intego Gets Out is a HyperCard stack. It needs the HyperCard Player application. HyperCard Player is installed by default with most MacOS installations. You may not have a full MacOS installation in SheepShaver like the pre-installed OS9 that many use.

The Macintosh Garden site provides various versions of HyperCard Player. Version 2.4.1 should work fine in SheepShaver.
