i've got a patch .msi as well, it requires the DVD to be named simply 'DOOM3'

you can do it yourself using a program called MaSaI Editor which is free to download on trial. requires the .NET framework to run so you might need to download that too

simply open up the .msi file in the editor and scroll down to the 'Media' section. click on it to open it, and you'll see a list of disk names. DOOM3_CD1, DOOM3_CD2, DOOM3_CD3, DOOM3_CD1 again like that.

just change all the entries to whatever you want to call your DVD and save the .msi file

Hi Reddragon

Is it possible that new file is for 176 bytes greater than old file?
I changed DOOM3_1, DOOM3_2, DOOM3_3 and DOOM3_1 to DOOM3.

Thanx, Fazrik

I just created a doom3 directory and copyed all the files from cd1 and the pak files from the other cd's and the install works without a patched msi file hmm strange.

thats right highstuff - you're running it from hard drive arent you? it will work from there, but once burned to a DVD, or even from an ISO image, it will ask for disk 2 (and disk 3, but it wont get that far)
