Hello, I wish to make a CD that autoruns and executes a batch file that will run the Worms Armageddon Installation Wizard followed by the 3.0.0 patch then the 3.6.29.0 beta update.

The 3.6.29.0 beta update does not contain everything and downloads 2 files (IIRC, the new weapon colours + the actual beta update) from the internet, where does it "search" for these files? does it search the same place it, itself resides in?

The W:A folder. The files are WAPatch.exe (ftp://ftp.team17.com/pub/t17/patches/pc/WAPatch.exe) and GfxUpdate-3.6.28.0.exe (ftp://ftp.team17.com/pub/t17/patches/pc/GfxUpdate-3.6.28.0.exe).

Please don't forget that distributing unauthorized copies of the game violates copyright law.

Of course, this is just to simplify the reinstall of the game if the need ever arises.

Ok, it works :) just made an autorun.inf file that loads a BAT file that loads the neccesary programs and stuff. Since the beta update requires files to be where the game is installed and the files most likely won't be present, I have included a note in the BAT file about having an internet connection during the install.


Yea, I know, this sounds like I'm burning a copy for someone BUT I'M NOT! grrr. Also, the 16bit subsystem in Windows 7 fails :P had to reboot after a few tests making sure the BAT worked (from a virtual drive) in order to get the installer working again. I also learnt the command DIR /x
