editing iso

can anybody point me in the direction of a good tutorial or website that explains how to inject/remove exe for no cd crack etc. using win iso or other program?
Can do this easily if exe is visible in exploring the cd but if the exe
is compressed I seem to be stumped on how to go about removing etc. Anybody got any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

If it's in an installation cab file then use i6comp to extract the file.

If it is an installation cab file do this:

Copy the cab file and the hdr file to your hd
Remove the write protection
Copy i6comp.exe to the same directory
Copy the Fixed exe to the same directory
Go to the ms-dos box and change into that directory
Enter: i6comp r NAMEOF.CAB NAMEOF.EXE

This should replace one exe with another.

But be careful. If a crc check is performed during installation you may not be able to install it anymore!!!

If the exe is in a cab file, then use Winiso to extract all the cab files and the associated hdr file to your hard drive.

You need to run i6comp from the command prompt
you will need to type something like this to replace the original exe with the crack:
i6comp.exe r data1.cab game.exe game.exe

Search around for more detailed instructions on using i6como - there are also instructions in other threads posted here before - use the search button.

You can get a list of the commands for i6comp from the program itself

When you've finished editing the cab files, put them all back into the image using winiso.

getting close now!!!
after lots of attempts the best i can get is a message that says
"could not open data1.hdr"
any thoughts?
also how do you remove the write protection stated earlier before using icomp6 ? what is hdr?
sorry for so many questions but I am a newbie trying to learn
thanks in advance

Concerning the hdr problem: Make sure you copied into the same dir as the cab file. Also make sure to get rid of the read-only attrib!
Right click on the file --> properties --> uncheck the tab in front of write protected (or read only).

The command you want to type is:
icomp6 r data1.cab simjp.exe simjp.exe

but that's not the problem - there is another version of i6comp about somewhere - one worked for me while the other didn't. The one I have is a zip file named i6comp02.zip and is about 121Kb in size. Also, if the game is new then i6comp may not be able to edit the cab files cos they've been updated.

You might find this thread useful
