You could throw in the "nocd patch" too, when you burn it to DVD.

Well the DVD can be labelled anything, it all depends on what you edit the msi to!

pal...

the dvd cant b labeled anything,,, as the setup check s for the label...

and i mean not just the msi file but also the install shield file as well...

u just patch the msi,, and that will not override....it...

i also dound that the dvd can also b patched to "GUNDVD"

i found it in the installshield script file....

just patching it,,, so that it accepts all the labels......

thanx

@angel-TDw!
I assure you my DVD conversion has the label GUNDVD, and I have only edited the 'Gun (TM).msi'.
I have not edited the 'ISScript9.Msi' file, it still has 'DISK1' as the Volume Label under Media.
So I really dont understand why others have problems with labelling their conversion?
When I say the DVD can be labelled anything, I mean you should be able to label the DVD to whatever you edited the Volume Label column to in the 'Gun (TM).msi' file under 'Media'.
For me it was just a standard msi file edit?

Wink

@ grumpy...

pal..u mis-understood me...

wot i ment was,,, most of the games can b patched by simply patching "media" in the msi file... but gun is a bit different.......
it has 2 protections, and both r in the same msi file-> gun.msi
1st is the media, which every1 edits... but the 2nd 1 is hidden inside the gun.msi file,,, thats the installshield script file, setup.inx, which is extracted to the temp folder in windows dir, when u start the setup of the game..
the script also checks for the cd label. u can name the dvd as GUNDVD just because it is specified in the script file, else u cant make it run. u can label the dvd anything from, "GUNCD1, GUNCD2, GUNCD3, GUNCD4, GUNCD5, GUNCD6, GUNCD7, and GUNDVD" anything else other then these, and the setup will ask for the cd, thou u might have patched the media part in the msi.

i have finally bypassed this thing,,,,,, now i can name my dvd anything other then the words specified above, and my media part in the msi is empty, "NULL". its all cause i have edited the script file and then reembided it back in the msi... . just 25 min work and everything done...

if any1 needs the patched msi file, then just ask....

friends r always welcome....

thanx

angel

Yes it appears I have misunderstood you.
But, why bother to edit the setup.inx when it is really not necassary? Only needs doing if you really want a totally different label?
