No worries Grumpy

Well, you CAN stop the Registration screen appearing

Edit the 'Indigo Prophecy.msi', open the TABLES section, edit CustomAction and delete this text:

UserRegistration 1218 NewBinary22 /PRNM="Indigo Prophecy" /PRMP="INDP" /SKUN="PCXX" /GTYP="ADVT"

And to stop the Quiz popping up remove this text:

Quizz 194 NewBinary19

And to sop the music playing during install remove this text:

PlayMusic 1 ISScriptBridge.dll f1

Your a diamond mate, thanks alot for this!

I'm having problem with cab creation, when i try to create cab file using instructions, i get error mesage: Error reading list of files from 'list.txt'. What i'm doing wrong? i use cabarc (version 1.00.0601).

Sounds like you are not running cabarc from the same folder as the list.txt file!

Make sure the cabarc.exe, list.txt (cut and paste it from my post above) and all the extracted/replaced files are in the same directory when you run the cabarc command! Also make sure you have navigated to the same folder as all the files when issuing the cabarc command!

E.G. if you have extracted all files to a TEMP folder called c:\Indigo then you must copy the cabarc.exe and list text into the c:\Indigo folder. When you open a command prompt window you type c:\ and press return (to make sure you are working from the correct drive), then type cd c:\indigo and press return to change the path level to c:\Indigo in the command prompt window, now you can run the Cabarc n GameDa~1.cab @list.txt command and create the CAB file!

It worked, but now i get another error: "FCIAddFile<> failed: code 1 [Failure opening file to be stored in cabinet]
What now?

Obviously there is a file missing from your folder!

Just open the list.txt file and make sure that ALL the files listed are indeed in the same folder, otherwise you will get that error!

checked few times and all files are in folder, same names like in list.txt

[BarryB]

Then your list.txt file must have a formatting error! Make sure each entry is spelled correctly and on a separate line and no weird characters at the beginning or end of each file name!

When the error pops up, what is the last file shown in the command window? That could lead to that file or the file next in the list.txt being where the problem lies!

Seeing as the Euro version has now been cracked you can make a backup DVD with the patch and crack inegrated, this time it's even easier!

1. Install the game and apply the v1.1 patch.
2. Copy the contents of the DVD to a temp dir.
3. Replace 'obj\bytecode.btc' from the installed game with the one in the 'temp dir\program files\atari\fahrenheit\obj' dir.
4. Copy the Reloaded Cracked EXE into the 'temp dir\program files\atari\fahrenheit' dir.
5. Edit the 'fahrenheit.msi' file and change these values:

TABLES > COMPONENT

Put a ; in front of DrvSetup.exe and both DrvSetup_x64.exe entries.

TABLES > CUSTOM ACTION

Put a ; in front of InstallDrv, PlayMusic, Quiz, RemoveDrv

TABLES > FILE

Put a ; in front of DrvSetup.exe and DrvSetup_x64.exe

6. Burn the files in the 'temp dir' to a Re-Writeable DVD (use Fahrenheit for volume label if you want) and test the install, it should install fully cracked and not play music/show the quiz or install the Tagès drivers.

7. If install went OK and the game plays then burn to a backup DVD+/-R.
