@ grumpy...
pal..u mis-understood me...
wot i ment was,,, most of the games can b patched by simply patching "media" in the msi file... but gun is a bit different.......
it has 2 protections, and both r in the same msi file-> gun.msi
1st is the media, which every1 edits... but the 2nd 1 is hidden inside the gun.msi file,,, thats the installshield script file, setup.inx, which is extracted to the temp folder in windows dir, when u start the setup of the game..
the script also checks for the cd label. u can name the dvd as GUNDVD just because it is specified in the script file, else u cant make it run. u can label the dvd anything from, "GUNCD1, GUNCD2, GUNCD3, GUNCD4, GUNCD5, GUNCD6, GUNCD7, and GUNDVD" anything else other then these, and the setup will ask for the cd, thou u might have patched the media part in the msi.
i have finally bypassed this thing,,,,,, now i can name my dvd anything other then the words specified above, and my media part in the msi is empty, "NULL". its all cause i have edited the script file and then reembided it back in the msi...
. just 25 min work and everything done...
if any1 needs the patched msi file, then just ask....
friends r always welcome....
thanx
