Need help with Wowloader.

[DrunkenSamus]

Alright, purchased Halo 2 Vista(or should I say XP), opened up the Halo 2 folder, found the startup.exe...now what do I do? It says Run Startup.exe on the Halo 2 DVD using the included Loader.exe
Ie.: Loader.exe D:\Startup.exe

I don't really understand how to do that? Can someone pleeease demonstrate? HUGE thanks to anyone who can help.

open up command prompt, navigate to your wowloader folder(cd commands, ie cd "c:\documents and settings\username\desktop\wowloaderfolder"
then if it puts you in that directory, type loader.exe "D:\startup.exe
assuming d is your actual dvd drive containing your store purchased h2v...

Wait, so I open up command prompt, and I type the destination of where I extracted Wowloader? I'm not too sure what I did because it's not working. Isn't there another way to run startup.exe with/using wowloader?

I had to go through hell to come this far! I don't intend for it all to go to waste!

Drag and drop the Setup.exe onto the Wowloader.exe, thats the simple way. That or create a new txt document, type in:

Loader.exe *:\Startup.exe

(Where * is your DVD drive letter) then save the text document as whatevernameyoulike.bat (the.bat is important) to your Wowloader folder. Then run your .bat file you just created

Thanks a bunch, +rep.

One more question, where do you go to activate the game after it asks you to exit the game?

.

[randreach454]

wowloader doesnt support activating the game. So your basically stuck my friend.

[InnerGoat]

Eh what? You can still activate it (it's somewhere in creating a Live account or something), and at least have the full single player to mess around with...

[DrunkenSamus]

Eh, whatever. At least single-player works. Locked to the max.
