Been trying to install some soundpacks for Worms Armageddon, but have found very little information that would tell me how to do this, and any information I do find is often completely unhelpful(such as telling me to put it in the 'speech' folder when no such folder exists except on the disc)

This contains the unhelpful information (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=187292)

It is not particularly difficult to find soundpacks, I just need help installing them into the game, my WA is completely updated

The Speech folder should be in the User folder, under the game's installation directory. If it doesn't exist, you could try creating it.

The full path would look something like this: C:\Team17\Worms Armageddon\User\Speech

If you're talking about the location on the disk, I'm not sure how that helps me since windows won't let me save or copy any files to that spot anyway.

In that case, I'm surprised you got the game working at all. Worms Armageddon requires that its installation directory is writable.

You may want to reinstall the game to its default install location, or to any location to which non-administrator users have write access to.

Well I just realized that I wasn't quite accurate, it won't let me because it says I don't have permission, the strange part about this is I have administrator rights, so I'm not sure why it won't let me...

I assume, by 'disk' you mean the CD.
No, not on the CD. Create the folder yourself (if it doesn't exist)in /User/ folder of your installation directory.

Are you trying to extract the files directly from a compressed file? (e.g. .zip/.rar/.7z). If so, you may need to give administrative rights to to your file compression utility before you can write to certain directories.

Yeah, I had that same problem on Windows 7. Tweaked the UAC settings and everything works fine.

Lol, I'm pretty sure that by 'disk' he meant the CD. And it's not writable, lol.
Facepalm

I'm pretty sure he's talking about his HDD. Noone is stupid enough to come here and ask why he can't put files in a folder located on his CD.

Not if you use a decent extractor/decompression program like 7zip. It extracts to a temp folder and copies it from there to the destination folder triggering the Windows Explorer's UAC prompt thus never requiring 7zip to be run with elevated privileges.
