yes i tried using an MSI editor (not orca, but it does the same job)
but the trouble is, mafia does not have a .msi file, just a setup.exe, which can not be edited using this program

the file is called MafiaSetup.exe
im using Hex Workshop 4.2, there is no separate entries for the three disks, just one entry that says 'MAFIA_CD_%i' so i guess the %i stands for whichever number of the disk that is being asked for at the time.
i changed this to MAFIA, replacing the last 6 characters (_CD_%i) with spaces.

but now the file does nothing at all when it is run

Well i think this volume label check is on an different way its not so easy as with doom3,because i think this: _%i is an push vallue (or something like that) the volume checks the label and put then the cd number in that push or dword vallue so i think that it has to be changed somewhere else in that exe file but maybe its also possible by moddifying another file is there an setup.ins file ?

no, there is no setup.inf file

i've tried replacing the letters with spaces, and also with full stops as the file seems to use them instead of spaces.

the file still works fine - but also still asks for the cd. so this does not seem to have affected it at all.

the problem must lie elsewhere
