a question though - how did you change it using a hex editor?
as DOOM3 is shorter than DOOM3_1
i used an MSI editor for Doom 3, but im trying to do the same thing with Mafia which has no MSI file.
when i change it using a hex editor, i change MAFIA_CD_%i to just MAFIA as thats what im going to call the dvd
however when i save it, it says its not a valid Win32 application
I used xe.exe its a verry small dos based hex edit utility i searched for DOOM3_1 and changed the _1 with the spacebar than it fills those 2 characters with 2 00 bytes. so it won't get any smaller.

and about that maffia game , wich file are you trying to edit ? just setup.exe ? the setup.exe most times use some sort of crc checking...

and when does it says "not a valid win32 applicaton" by the hex edit
safing already? or after you started the game setup ?
