Angry Hidden & Dangerous 2 cd2dvd help

I try to modify Hidden & Dangerous 2 from cd to dvd with this guide
http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p...&postcount=112

I have changed disk label from DISK2 and DISK3 to DISK1 with Orca in Hidden & Dangerous 2 .msi

Then i have burned it with label DISK1, but installshield still need next disk :-/

(when is next disk needed I try to add new section on dvd, change dvd label to DISK2 and burn it. Then I go to Installator and click ok, installation continues :-( )

Where is the problem?


You can download my edited Hidden & Dangerous 2 .msi here and check it:
http://www.raketomet.net/work/hidden...rous_2_msi.rar

you can post me your edited msi file on my email [email protected]

Hmm, I dont know where the problem is as it all worked fine for me? The label must be DISK1 for this game, and my install continues without prompting for the next disc.

@Dabhand
Orca is a part of the Microsoft Windows Installer SDK (x86) Package. IntelSDK can be downloaded Free from Microsoft. But all most people do is remove Orca from the package. Orca can be downloaded seperately from many places, including here.

H&D is our czech game, so I have this game with our czech localization -included.

Maybe the czech installator is bugged :-/, because I can remove table "Media" in msi file and installator know, which file and which media nummber he have to use...

I am disgusted

Try changing the disk prompt from 2 or 3 to 1, so it looks like disk 1 all the time

Every game I have done using Orca does not need the Disk Prompt column changed. It doesnt matter if it says disc 2 as long as the label column is correct.

Your original msi file is definately damaged then!! Try just changing the Label column of the New msi file you have obviously downloaded and you will find it will also work and that you do not need to change the disc prompt column. I havent changed the disc prompt column and it all works correctly.

EDIT: Hmm yes it could be because it is the czech version, but I doubt it?

Problem was at another place, at first I installed the game from HDD, so in registry was path to HDD and instalation wizard from DVD was searching there the label of next disk. Instalation works after I deleted this registry entry.

@insekticid

What does this mean?
Soubor _CC0144ADD********************* nemuze byt nainstalovan, protoze instalacri soubor Data1.cab nebyl nalezen. To muze znamenat chybu site, chybu cteni z disku CD-ROM nebo potize s timto balickem.

Now I am guessing it is saying it cannot find Data1.cab and to make sure the CD-Rom is in the drive etc?

I tried installing the game using your MSI file! I copied your MSI onto a DVD with my files from my version of the game. Your MSI is 16170KB mine is 15877KB so there is a size difference there! So your MSI wont work with my files so unfortunately I cannot test this further for you but I know for my version there is no need to edit the Disk Prompt column.

Ahh so you were trying to install the game from the HDD and not from a DVD?
Did you try it from a DVD without changing the Disk Prompt column? I would like to know if your czech version works the same as mine? If it does not then i will add more info to the conversion for the czech users.
Sometimes games will work from the HDD and sometimes they will not! The best test method is to burn to a DVD-RW, that is the only sure way of knowing if the conversion is going to be successful or not.
