There is a problem running Windows 8 has been tested

[sarmadi]

Hi mesut,
I Have installed the new (for me) OS Windows 8 and ALL is perfect .
Thanks mesut .Thanks pakrat.I am a little bit ashamed by this problem which made me crazy and took much more from your Precious time to help me.
Excuse me for my language.

at least you got it working, now hopefully with that new OS you wont have any problems running the games.

So after I make these discs does the game still require Steam?

If so, what is the point of doing this, since it would still be faster to just install it through Steam. Thanks for any replies.

If you dont want it to run thru steam you can get the crack for this game at gamecopyworld ( very top of the forum page link ) which will allow you to play the game without having to run thru steam. BUT you wont be able to play any multiplayer
just the single player portion of the game, as the crack doesnt allow any online portion of the game to function.

Basically just a way to backup your installed game onto dvd5 media, so that you can install again at a later date without having to redownload it thru steam.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks, I have one more question...

Are there any prerequisites that need to be added to the last disc?

make sure to use new interface archive, then yes you will need folders Redist\Directx & C++ just goes in Redist folder.

Launch1=DirectX
Launch164=0
Launch1BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom1=Redist\DirectX\DXSetup.exe
LaunchArg1=/silent

Launch2=Visual C++ 2008 x86
Launch264=0
Launch2BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom2=Redist\vcredist_x86.exe
LaunchArg2=/q:a

I want to be able to install the game using just my new backup discs so I can play Single Player (preferably without needing Steam).


1. I installed the game thru Steam so I can backup the latest version of the game.
I can use these game files for my new backup discs, and I do not need any files from my original discs right?

2. DO NOT EDIT THIS AGAIN.. WAREZ DISCUSSION NOT ALLOWED

3. So the first .zip file in the original post is just the old/no longer needed installer?
What does "New Interface" mean, just a newer installer than the first .zip file?


Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

The post I made above your shows the directory structure to use for DX & C++ ( on last dvd ) you can also choose what crack you want that works for the latest version of your game & also add that to the last dvd as well. Then you manually copy it over after installing from your conversion files.

OR

Copy the game folder from steam to a temp folder & then copy over the crack files then do the conversion. This way the games already cracked when you install it. The choice is up to you.

Use the New Interface version, you guessed correctly, that version is just newer

[swallis7]

So after much trial and error and some wasted disks here is how I made it work 100%....


1. Install the game (I installed it from Steam so I would have the
latest version of the game).


2. Download the two attachments listed below (the "Call of Duty MW2
8.5.7.4.7z" in the original post is not needed).

Call of Duty MW2_NewInterface.7z (12.50 MB; ALL FILES NEEDED!)
http://fileforums.com/attachment.php...9&d=1356985934

Extract the files into a temp directory.

Call of Duty MW2_NewInterface.7z (12.74 MB; ONLY NEED SETUP.DLL)
http://fileforums.com/attachment.php...8&d=1356918292

Extract only the "Setup.dll" file into the same temp directory.
This file may not be needed, but it doesn't seem to hurt anything.


3. Install "Inno Setup (Unicode).exe". Open "InstallerScript.iss".
Edit the following line, according to the current installation
directory of the game (where the game is currently installed into).
NOTE: If there is a ";" at the beginning of the line, remove it!

#define ProgramFiles "C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2"

The installed Steam version is here:
#define ProgramFiles "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2"

Click "Save", then click "Compile" to compile the script.


4. This step is only info for us newbies to help learn this stuff. You do not have to do it.
If there is no "Autorun.exe" file in the first .7z (there is one),
open "LangScript.iss", click "Compile" to compile the script.


5. Move these to the "\Compiled\DVD1" folder:

Autorun.exe
Setup.ini
Setup.dll (From the original NewInterface.7z file)
Setup.cab
Setup.exe
Setup-1a.bin
Setup-1b.bin
Setup-1c.bin

Move these to the "\Compiled\DVD2" folder:

Setup-2a.bin
Setup-2b.bin
Setup-2c.bin

Move these to the "\Compiled\DVD3" folder:

Setup-3a.bin
Setup-3b.bin
\Redist (The installed Steam version has this folder here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2\Redist)


6. Edit the "\Compiled\DVD1\Setup.ini" file, near the end of the file
change these two lines:

LaunchCom1=Redist\DirectX\DXSetup.exe
LaunchCom2=Redist\vcredist_x86.exe

To these:

LaunchCom1={src}\Redist\DirectX\DXSetup.exe
LaunchCom2={src}\Redist\vcredist_x86.exe


7. Make a folder named \Crack (it doesn't matter what you name it),
and copy any game cracks, patches, cheats etc into it.


8. Burn the contents of the \DVD1 \DVD2 \DVD3 folders to 3 DVD5 (4.7gb)
disks with the labels you want.
[The original labels are "Disk_1" and "Disk_2"]
Total sizes: Disks 1&2 4.36 GB, Disk 3 2.33 GB


NOTE1: The install folder cannot be changed at install time (I'm not sure how to change it), it always gets installed into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

NOTE2: The savegames in Windows 10 get saved into:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\P rogram Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
