  Just unrar and overwrite original .msi in "THAW_DVD" folder. DVD name MUST be "THAW_DVD" to use this file.

UPDATE 3/10

• Since there has been a crack released you could replace the original .exe with the cracked one. I wont get into that here since, one, there are already a couple of guides here on how to do that and, two, I dont agree with doing that anyway since 99% of the time your going to need the original .exe to apply patches or something similar. I still think the best thing to do is leave the original .exe, then instead of overwriting the .exe just add ".bak" or whatever to the end of the original .exe and then copy the crack to there. That way if you ever need to apply a patch all you need to do is remove the ".bak" and then you have the original .exe file. The other way, you would have to get out the original cd, copy the compressed file to a hard drive, uncompress it, then copy the .exe file to the game directory. For someone that likes to be updated this makes for a lot more steps pretty often.
