Hey yeah if you can't edit the cells then you have to right click on the file and go to properties and make sure that its not "read only" cause if that's checked then you won't be able to edit it. And i was wanting to know how would you go about putting other games on to dvd cause i have Far Cry and its 5 disc long and its a pain to have to put a disc in over and over. If any knows please help out. Thanks.

should I be able to install doom after making the asjustments to the msi file from the hard disk?
I have been trying to do this to check to see if my modifications to the msi file worked but keep getting errors after putting the coed key in. Will it only install from a cd?
Should the volume label on the cd be the same as the msi file name or the same as the volume label in side the msi file?
I also have 4 files not 3.

Umm no you can't install it from hard drive if you edit the msi file i think. And yes i there are 4 files and just change the vol. name to whatever your vol. name of your dvd is gonna be. And i think it should work. Im workin on copying Far Cry to dvd cause its 5 disc and i think i figured it out. But i still dont know if Doom 3 worked yet cause its at my friends house and he said he thinks he figured it out.

okay,
I was able to get things working, I just had to put all the .pk4 files in setup/data/base and just changed the volume labels on the msi to "doom 3" for all 4 files.
I was able to install the game frome the hard disk after the above changes were made so I but=rned the dvd and made its volume name "doom 3" as well.
I havent tested the dvd yet but will on monday at work.
note:
I had to use the no cd fix after the install from my hard disk.

yo, dudes.
just to let you know when editing the doom3 msi files.
If you misunderstood my tutorial it does say that you should delete one of the volume labels, which is the last volume label in the table. remember to change the last volume labels digits to the first volume label shown in the table and leave the 2nd and 3rd as they are then save the main volume label as either doom3 or something and remember to name your backup as this very volume name or it will not recognise the dvd as the game. remember to save the msi file before backing up doom3.
you shouldn't have many probs after this. If so just let me know dudes.
Cheers D3Xblade

Hello @ll,
I just joined after viewing this thread, lots of great info.
I don't play Doom3, but I do play Tribes Veagenace, which I just purchased, and it is 4 cds and also has an *.MSI on the first cd to start the installation. Is it possible to merge these 4 cdrs onto a DVD?

Hello. I did everything that you stated, I just can not get to the part when you have to install that orca. That is real confusing, what are you supposed to download. I downloaded all parts 1-13 and saved them to my disc using FireFox. I have no clue to set it up. Otherwise the directions are great just wierded out with this program. Someone please help, and thanks for your time.

Miami...
First you need to extract the thirteen .cab files to just one folder. After you do that just double click the .msi setup and you'll be on your way.
Need any more specifics, just let me know.

My thanks goes out to DX3blade for his/her initiating this thread.
******************************************************
For you folks that still are having problems with modifying the Doom 3 msi, I post this reply...
Here is the modification that has worked for me...
Edit with ORCA..., I will name each section with caps, (hoping I don't violate any forum rules).
COMPONENT - Top row - "Ereg", right click and drop-row.
CREATEFOLDER - Top row - "Ereg", right click and drop row.
FILE - "Pay close attention here"... Top row - "Ereg", right click and drop row. Notice at the end of each row there is a number, this is the execution sequence that the installer follows. Now we have to renumber all the sequences in this section. Notice that after dropping the top row that there is no sequence 1! What we have to do is to change this. To do this, you MUST reduce each sequence number, by 1 (one). Example... Sequence # 2 becomes sequence #1, #3 becomes #2, #4 becomes #3 and so on. Continue to do this all the way down this section until you reach the final sequence, where #105 becomes #104. DO NOT change the sequence order, just reduce each one by 1 (one) number.
MEDIA - Right click and drop the top 3 (three) rows. Rename the #4 (four) entry as I have here...
[1] [104] [Doom 3 Disk 1] [Doom3]
Notice that the "Last Sequence" number 105 is changed to 104 to match the last sequence in the "Media" section. This must be done.
After you have performed these changes...close and save these changes to your msi. Make sure you have copied all the gamepaks from your other two disks into the [Doom3/Setup/Data/Base] folder before trying to install.
I have tested this change...I installed the game straight off of my hard drive and the installation went as smooth as glass. I created an .iso [CD-DVD Image file] and burnt to DVD using Nero6. I haven't tried the DVD installation, yet! But I do know that the game installed great right off of my hard drive.
Always remember...if you mess up on modifying your msi, you can always copy another one off of your Doom3 Disk1 and try again, but if you follow these instructions as I have here, I'm confident that you won't have any problems. If you do...you can always send me a pm and I'll try to help you figure it out.

Umm honestly you would have to get a NO-CDFix, not crack :) lol and thats only for people who "BUY" it, from someone like www.megagames.com because when you copy the game it for some reason won't copy that part over so when you try to play it it wont work. Its all copyright protection man and nobody can really fix it or atleast i haven't.

Hey again, does anyone know how to burn Star Wars Battlefront's 3 cd's to a DVD? I have discovered that Activision (Makers of Doom 3 and Call of Duty) lay out their discs the same way in each game, so I found that Doom and CoD were easy, but does anyone know how to do this with Battlefront?

Hi D3xBlade,
I have fully copied 3 CD onto DVD and it installs correctly, but i cant play the game as it says:
'Please insert game into DVD-Rom'
any suggestions?
Also, does the tutorial work on other games like NFS: Underground 2, UT2003, Sims 2 etc?
