Actually that is not right. You just have to have Gothic 2 installed. Problem is: The Gothic 2 setup is copy protected. It first installs the whole game and then after the last CD it checks if that CD is an original. During that process the mouse cursor becomes a rotating CD. When you press "Abbrechen" right when that CD appears (and leave the setup the way it is) you can open the Explorer and copy alle the files to a different drive and folder. After that finish the Setup. Now the Setup programm will not be able to delete the files after finding out that you dont have the original CD.

Now you have a working setup for Gothic 2. It would only work with the original Gothic 2 CD though. But you dont need to insert the Gothic 2 CDs during installing or playing the Addon. So just leave it and do not use a crack.

If you have the original "Die Nacht des Raben" CD you can install the addon onto that installation and it will work.
Unfortunaltey the Addon has a setup that is better protected than the setup of the original CD because it checks for an original CD DURING installation so you cannot use the trick above during installing the Addon. So you need an original Addon CD to install the addon.
I dont think there is a crack or some trick for the setup.

Once the Addon is installed you can use the crack but I have not tested the crack if it is fully working.
