1) Create a Temp folder on your harddrive.
Name this folder: AVP_DVD. This will be the name (Label) of our DVD.

2) Inside this AVP_DVD folder create another 5 folders.
Name these folders:
AVP1
AVP2
AVP2_PH
Cracks
Updates

3) Copy the Aliens vs Predator 1 CD to the AVP1 folder.

4) Copy the Aliens vs Predator 2 CD1 to the AVP2 folder.
5) From the Aliens vs Predator 2 CD2 copy the ‘DirectX’ and the ‘Gamespy’ folders to the AVP2 folder.
6) Also from CD2 copy the ‘data3.cab’ file to the AVP2 folder.

7) Copy the Aliens vs Predator 2 Primal Hunt CD to the AVP2_PH folder.

8) Create another 2 folders inside the ‘Updates’ folder.
Name these 2 folders: AVP1_Update and AVP2_Update.

9) Copy the AVP_Build98_Update.exe to the AVP1_Update folder.
NOTE: Make sure the file is named exactly 'AVP_Build98_Update.exe' (without the quotations)
When using the update AVP1 button on the Custom Menu it will open a window for you to choose the location to extract the files too. Choose the location where you installed AVP1. This will update the game.

10) Copy the AVP2_v1096 Update to the AVP2_Update folder. Rename the file to AVP2_v1096_Update.exe.
NOTE: Clicking the AVP2 Update button on the Menu will start the actual Update so the file MUST be named AVP2_v1096_Update.exe.

11) Create another 3 folders inside the 'Cracks' folder.
Name these 3 folders: AVP1_NoCD, AVP2_NoCD and AVP_PH_DVD
Copy the correct NoCD cracks to these folders.

12) My AVP Custom Menu is normally available from cd-2-dvd.com but since the site is currently down for a while you can PM (Private Message) me, with your email address, and I will send it to you. This is only untill cd-2-dvd.com is back online!
Extract the contents of the AVP_DVD_Menu.rar file to the AVP_DVD folder.

13) Burn the contents of the AVP_DVD folder to a DVD using the Label: AVP_DVD

NOTE: At the end of the AVP2 install you will be prompted to insert Disc 1. Just Press 'OK' to continue.
Do this conversion on a DVD-RW first to make sure you have it all correct!
If the File names etc are not correct the Menu Buttons will NOT work!

END NOTE: I would like to thank ‘PSIONIC’ for his excellent artwork used as the Menu Picture.

To AVP2_1:
- copy cd2
- copy cd1. Overwrite all if prompted.

Hex edit 'setup.inx':
2100
AF00 (EnterDisk) --> 5D00 (ComponentIsItemSelected)
0200
04/96FF
06/0900/data1.cab

(This removes the CD prompt at end-of-installation)

Burn to disc.
Tested and working.

Also, instead of burning to DVDRW it's easier to create ISO images and mount them into a virtual drive to test them. If they are fine they can be backed up.

Thanks! Testing...
