editing iso
 

can anybody point me in the direction of a good tutorial or website that explains how to inject/remove exe for no cd crack etc. using win iso or other program?
Can do this easily if exe is visible in exploring the cd but if the exe
is compressed I seem to be stumped on how to go about removing etc. Anybody got any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

you have to be pretty stupid not to know how to do that.. lOl

thanks for your support ! but the compressed files wont let me remove the exe would appreciate some help if you know how?

If it's in an installation cab file then use i6comp to extract the file.

after abit of research i have found this application but how can you then inject the new exe? win iso ? and will this method work and allow a crack to be applied into the new cd?
thanks in advance ghosthacker

If it is an installation cab file do this:

Copy the cab file and the hdr file to your hd
Remove the write protection
Copy i6comp.exe to the same directory
Copy the Fixed exe to the same directory
Go to the ms-dos box and change into that directory
Enter: i6comp r NAMEOF.CAB NAMEOF.EXE

This should replace one exe with another.

But be careful. If a crc check is performed during installation you may not be able to install it anymore!!!

If the exe is in a cab file, then use Winiso to extract all the cab files and the associated hdr file to your hard drive.

You need to run i6comp from the command prompt
you will need to type something like this to replace the original exe with the crack:
i6comp.exe r data1.cab game.exe game.exe

Search around for more detailed instructions on using i6como - there are also instructions in other threads posted here before - use the search button.

You can get a list of the commands for i6comp from the program itself

When you've finished editing the cab files, put them all back into the image using winiso.

getting close now!!!
after lots of attempts the best i can get is a message that says
"could not open data1.hdr"
any thoughts?
also how do you remove the write protection stated earlier before using icomp6 ? what is hdr?
sorry for so many questions but I am a newbie trying to learn
thanks in advance

Concerning the hdr problem: Make sure you copied into the same dir as the cab file. Also make sure to get rid of the read-only attrib!
Right click on the file --> properties --> uncheck the tab in front of write protected (or read only).

hi monty thanks for answering so quickly!
already checked there is no tick in read only in properties
this is a rar file compressed with the exe inside it called data1.cab
the exe inside is simJP.exe

all are in a folder on my desktop the crack i6comp and the data1.cab

command typed was :
icomp6 r data1.cab simjp.exe

Command line is fine...

Mmmh, is data1.hdr really in the same folder....I do not understand why it isn' working

The command you want to type is:
icomp6 r data1.cab simjp.exe simjp.exe

but that's not the problem - there is another version of i6comp about somewhere - one worked for me while the other didn't. The one I have is a zip file named i6comp02.zip and is about 121Kb in size. Also, if the game is new then i6comp may not be able to edit the cab files cos they've been updated.

You might find this thread useful

downloaded newer zip same error message typed command as you stated.hope i havent got a game that icomp cant run with
surely it cant be that well protected it already has securom
4.8 ?just to recap on what i have done so far>>>>
