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

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?

@ 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?

ya pal....

i have a group of 3, and v purchase games on chance basis,,,

1 after teh another,,, so so copy the game and back it up on dvds,,,,

and use the dvds, so that the original never gets spoiled,,,

and since gun is a small game, not full dvd, so v combine 2-3 games in 1 dvd

2 extract the max from a dvd,,,, and label the dvds as "All In One # 1" and

so on,,, thats y,,,

i recently purchased, gun, and my friend, the incredibles, so i want 2 write

both the games onto 1 dvd,,, so that v can extract the max.... and when

i checked the game, i found that i couldnt do so, without editing the setup.inx

so i did it,, and now i m gonna burn both of them, ofcourse, il have 2 wait, till

i get a fully no-cd crack for the incredibles : the rise of the underminer.

since the reloded release is not a full patch, it still asks for the cd.

i checked that 2, the game wants the label as, ISK2, and the game

just needs 2 files on the cd, boot.hip and mnui.hip. thou the setup copies

these 2 files, in trhe installation folder.. strange.... so just waiting 4 the

proper patch.

thanx

@angel-TDw!
Hang on! Let me understand this correctly?
You and 2 other friends buy one game each?
Then you all get together and create 3 seperate DVD's (one DVD for each of you) containing all 3 games?
So you each only purchase one game but end up with a DVD which contains 3 games?
Is that correct?

@Israfil
Follow the instructions and create your own, its not hard to do.
You can download 'Orca' from www.cd-2-dvd.com. You will be happier with yourself if you learn how to create it as then you will be able to do any other conversion with ease,
