Hi FarCry,

Dunno... If I were you, I wouldn't bother with trying to create an _installable_ version of the game. With old games, whose development has been stopped and therefore no more updates are to be expected, I simply install the game, apply all official (!) updates, addons etc., then the no-CD patch for the last update, compress it with RAR (http://www.rarlabs.com ) and burn it onto (back then CD, now) DVD.

Now, if I need some nostalgy, get the DVD, unRAR, (for Windows games) import the .REG file, run the setup/config (not installation!) program and there I go playing!

Joe
