won't work, what i meant was it sounds like its dynamically building the filename to check ... so copying the file's simply won't do it...
if you like make me a rar file of the exe+dlls (minimal to work from) and the dir listings (dir /s > cd1.txt) from the cd's/dvd's and i'll take a look (simply because im in a good mood today)... oh yeah, and pm me the link or something too because i can't read minds (yet...)
