1. Copy all of CD1 to temp dir

2. Copy only the *.cabs from CD2-4 to temp dir. (don't copy "setup" folder and autorun.inf)

3. Edit the *.msi file with Orca -or- download the ready msi file from here, http://rapidshare.de/files/20317529/....file.zip.html and extract it to temp dir

4. Create dvd image, rename the disc "XMENCD1" if you're using my msi file or to whatever you edited with Orca

hello.

I have problem with this. I used ORCA + ULTRA ISO for this experiment.
So i copy CD1 to Image Filfe with nero and opend it in ultraiso. I've added rest of the files from other cd's to Image 1. I replaced x-men bla bla bla.msi
with edited one i did with orca, same thing with your file too.so far no problem if i leave that this way and burn on DVD.

but i wanted to rename DVD name so instead of XMENCD1 i put XMEN3 or any other name and then setup don't work. I thought maybe i have to edit msi file again and instead of cd label where it says XMENCD1 (media tab on orca) i renamed that to to XMEN3 (or the name of cd) and again at the beggining of installation it still ptompts me to X-Men - Official game CD.

Is there any way to edit the name of DVD ? and for this what should i edit in orca further? thanx for you help. i really apriciate. it. BTW i used orca 2.0. now i just dled ORCA 3.1 but i don't think it will do some difference if i don't know what else to edit for this, and well...I DON't! Please help!

(samething happend when i copy files to folder and then burned iso DVD)

@ QuiGonJinn

pal..if u neeed then u can take my msi file as i have my dvd named as

XMEN3 and it still works,,,

the msi file of xmen has 2 protections,,,1 that everybody edits using orca

and the other that no1 edits,,, it has an embided installshield script

whcih checks for the dvd label 2 be either XMENDVD or XMENCD1.

so this both labels will work and other then that u have 2 edit the script.

i have edited the script and so my msi works with any dvd label....

if u need my edited file, then just ask,,,

thanx

angel;

ps. have u noticed, when u edit the msi with orca, in media, it says xmen dvd, but after editing the msi with orca,
it starts sayin, xmen cd.... check it out, its cause int he script its written cd instead of dvd.

hmm. thanx dudes. well let me see this...

so i doesn't work if i edit file just in ORCA right ? i checket it's as i left it..
i changed when you open MSI = goto Media = then i edited all to XMEN3 (i didn't tried XMENDVD) and it is when i reopen that way so it isn't changed back. well as i got it you still have to edit this file with other program right ?

i don't get this part.."the msi file of xmen has 2 protections,,,1 that everybody edits using orca and the other that no1 edits,,, it has an embided installshield script whcih checks for the dvd label 2 be either XMENDVD or XMENCD1. so this both labels will work and other then that u have 2 edit the script." which script and how? is it hard to edit? can you describe process pls?

@angel-TDw! ps. have u noticed, when u edit the msi with orca, in media, it says xmen dvd, but after editing the msi with orca,
it starts sayin, xmen cd.... check it out, its cause int he script its written cd instead of dvd. i don't get this couse it works for me.

when else should i edit and can it be done the way i preffer. Making image with Nero and open it in ultra iso and just add other files and saving image as it is with offrcorse replacing MSI file...

and can i PLEASE get link for your file with what i can edit dvd to XMEN3 . and can u please tell me what else should i edit for same results.

PS: i have also tried to test file with option "Validate" and i got bunch errors something like targetdir//splash//bla bla bla. should i just ignore that or?

u can edit it easily... but u need some tools from the net....

1st tool is orca itself....

after patching the media table 2 blank....

go to binary table and dump installscript.

change the extension of the dump to inx.

then just decrypt it and use sid 2 change the script and reencrypt it and

then repack it back in the msi file... and thats it....

ohhhh...its a few lot of work....

but something lot easire then that....is...

download my file....

ill attach the file 2moro ... as i have the file at my offfice... so ill bring

it home and upload it 2moro...

thanx

angel
