My Script for the Sims 2 (Yes there is one already up, but this installs with no change of disk or user interaction
Follow the Directions at the bottom of the page (the list with 18 points):
EA Tech Support Page (I guess EA can be Useful
)The Directory does not have to be c:\ (or the root of any partion), it just has to be based in "Disk Images"
Then change the following lines in Disk Images\Disk 1\AutoRun\autorun.cfg
CODE
EReg=0
TechSupport=0
(its near the top this disables the request to register(I couldn't Figure out how to close the window in AutoIt (don't know why it wouldn't)) and works on all the EA games I have tried it with)
Then Run this script in the base directory of Disk 1 (remeber to change the CD Key from X's) and it may need localization if you use adifferent Launguage
Notes:
Adding this to your cleanup.cmd deletes the desktop icon
CODE
DEL "%allUsersProfile%\Desktop\The Sims 2.lnk"
and a big thanks to MHz who helped me get the Script to launch right from RunOnce
[edit=11/17/05] changed the script to allow user to select directory of install and directory within start menu (those of you with 32 bit windows need to remove the (x86) on the program folders link)
- Default dir is "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\The Sims 2"
- Default start menu install location "Games"
-updated EA link it had changed locations
