Very nice. It would've been nicer if someone actually managed to remove CD check from setupcw.exe of RTCW-Platinum Edition. Haven't found the answer and stopped looking for it 3 years ago. Then I made a breakthrough a year ago, managed not to hack exe file, cause I'm dumb for that kind of things, but to recreate script file from tiny pieces I gathered using Universal Extractor and a few other programs I don't recall. Compiled it using old Wise installer, tested it and burned to disc.
So, if anyone is interested, give it a try. I only tested it on my PC.

I rearranged dialog text a little, everything is as original (except those nagging messages).
Extract EXE from
Rtcwplat rebuilded and replace your original.
You may want to add line
label=Return to Castle Wolfenstein (or whatever name you prefer) to
autorun.inf before burning it to disc.
On the other hand, you could try
Rtcwetplat modified that has modified EXEs for RTCW and ET.

Simple progress bar and billboards that were used in V1.0 of the RTCW game and graphics on dialogs for ET.
Also, you will need to add
art and
sound folders to your
Setup\rsrc folder.
Sound folder contains install music for RTCW (which you actually have) and second one for ET (this one is needed cause setup won't run without it).
Art folder contains billboards for both RTCW and ET. Original art folder has dialog graphics which are quite useless since they are already inside setupcw.exe and has 3 billboards for ET (I've added 2 more I think).
Not quite sure, I think I've left out other languages than English from Rtcwetplat modified setup files, they should be still present in Rtcwplat rebuilded.
