only United Offensive has an MSI file, the normal Call of duty doesn't have an MSI file so converting COD will be hard but UO won't be.

i was looking through masai editor trying to make my own (i know its possible because thats what its for) but i have no idea where to start! i would need a tutorial or something.

but of course, if its already been done, i won't have to bother.

thank you very much cueball!

Call of Duty, are you serious people? I didn't realize we were talking about this game... Damn, I shall read the title next time.

Leave the big solutions down. Just get Inno Setup with ISTool, and select your whole game directory, and make a setup. This game did not even require any registry keys, I installed it with an IS setup without registry keys set after a clean install of Windows XP, and it worked just fine.

Just make sure you patch it to the latest version and replace the original files with the no-cd ones before the install. But oh well, you could do that after the install.

If anyone wants specific instructions on how to get a Call of Duty setup with Inno Setup, just ask.

I can say 'Cueballs' msi file works. Call of Duty installs fine from the one DVD. I am currently in the process of doing COD and United Offensive to the one DVD. I just need to confirm a couple of things with Cueball before I post the conversion on the CD2DVD thread and before I send the files to GCW.

And 'DarkLeftos' I would also be curious to the method you used to do your conversion. I will PM you my email address.

Yes I can confirm that 'Cueballs' msi is finished and fully functional. He has done a very nice job of it. I am currently putting it to good use and making a Call of Duty and United Offensive DVD. Will post it in the CD2DVD thread very soon.
I will also send the files to GCW when I have finished.
