Thanks

PS.
Am I going off topic, please MOD delete this

there was another thred about dirt3 which listed a different conversion, but because of the setup.exe, chaninstall.xml+security catalog file, when you changed the game.msi file for 2xdvd5, the install would abort because the md5 hash check wouldnt match. An easy getaround for that was to change the autorun from open=setup.exe to open=game.msi.

Tha game would install, but you couldnt choose language, and the dependicies ( DX, Openal, Rapture3d ) would have to be installed manually.

Peter always finds a way around these maddening conversions, when the norm doesnt seem to work. By either re-writing a new setup.exe to skip over the checking of those md5 hashes, whatever.

Always learning more & more from peter...

thanks bud.
