Black & White trouble

[mysty]

I've got some trouble copying black & white...
I've red the "cd-copy instructions" on gamecopyworlds homepage but I just can't get it working. I do as they say and copies the cd's contents to a tempdir and then extracts the files from the patch archive (bw_uk_cdcopy.rar), the executable archive (runblack.rar) and the file I6COMP.EXE from the I6Comp v0.2 archive to the tempdir.
When I run the BNW_UK.BAT a dos-promt (see below fore the entire dos-promt screen...) and it's all over...


The DOS-promt.
I'm using a swedish version of windows so I've tried to translate the swedish text to english...

C:\Temp\CD>attrib -R data2.cab

C:\Temp\CD>i6comp r data1.hdr runblack.exe
InstallShield 6.x Cabinet Util
Version 0.2 -] fOSSiL & Morlac - 2000 [-
runblack.exe

C:\Temp\CD>attrib -A +R data1.cab

C:\Temp\CD>attrib -A +R data1.hdr

C:\Temp\CD>attrib -A +R data2.cab

C:\Temp\CD>del cdcopy.txt

C:\Temp\CD>del i6comp.exe

C:\Temp\CD>del runblack.exe
Åtkomst nekad
(acces denied)

C:\Temp\CD>del bnw_UK.bat
Kommandofil (batch-fil) saknas.
(something like "command file (batch-file) missing"

C:\Temp\CD>Det går inte att hitta filen.
(can't find the file)


What am I doing wrong?
Is there any other way of doing this?
Help!!

I got a similar - not sure if it's the same, can't remember - error message, I don't think it's a problem. Running the BNW_UK.BAT should take a while - a few minutes on my Celeron 466 - did it? If so, everything's probably OK. Copy the contents of the temp dir to a blank CD, and make sure the volume name is "BNW" - all in upper case, very important. Good luck.

The only lines the .bat file really needs are the following -

attrib -R data1.cab
attrib -R data1.hdr
attrib -R data2.cab
i6comp r data1.hdr runblack.exe
attrib -A +R data1.cab
attrib -A +R data1.hdr
attrib -A +R data2.cab

You can manually delete the other files once the bat file has run.

Once you have copied the files to hard drive you can simply go Edit-Select all-Properties and then remove the tick from read-only.

Then the only line you need is -

i6comp r data1.hdr runblack.exe

On slower machines it takes a little time to finish.

i am haveing the same problem but my label is Bnw is this why. i can install the game with the backup but it says something about wrong cd when running game.

You have got the wrong cracked Runblack.exe! Try to install BnW from the Original-CD and copy your Runblack.exe to BnW-Folder. When it doesn't work you need another!

The only thing happens is Runblack.exe will be replaced by a cracked one. That's why you need i6comp - this little Proggi can replace the .EXE! And the BnW-Installation installs the cracked Runblack, so you don't need any CD no more!
