well, good news. I finally got it working! I was missing ONE registry key that for some reason I forgot to implement as well. WOW - that took like 3 days to figure out. But now I got everything in one file! geez....

and actually I just checked a basic license (excluding distribution fees) is $4,995. So....Yea...I saw a XPS laptop (customized to my specs) that was that much and I rather buy that than a license...geez.

I actually used RegMon, Forester, to see what I was missing so thanks again. That saved me!

This sounds like a good idea. Portable 100% working versions of SC & BW? I'm game. But, if I understand you correctly - I need to pay 4000$ to do this?

If so, sweet DT - here I come again.

So pray tell how are you using the application right now?

I work for Lucidiom and help manage the distribution of software to clients.

New patch released for both (SC and Broodwar) today (1.15.2) removes the CD Check protection.
For those owners happy gameplay.

I was just reading that on Blues News :) Looks like Thinstall is no longer needed, you just patch then game and copy over the INSTALL.EXEs from the CD's and rename them!
