Hope everyone had a great christmas
I need some technical advice on installing Diablo 2 & LOD...this is NOT the version uploaded by Shattered,its one i got long ago that im trying to install now (i can download the Legendsworld one but i have limited bandwidth and its over 2 GB so...really want to try and make this one work first :/)
Firstly,would someone be so kind as to list the files on the D2 cds ? I keep getting the impression im missing something as the one text mentions D2PLAY.MPQ and i dont seem to have that...this also came on a DVD but if the D2 and LOD together is 2.21 GB on legendsworld i REALLY think im missing something as my D2 DVD is 1.4 GB about,and LOD is about 458 MB....
If this is so i guess i have no other option than to redownload :/
Ive copied over the files to the directories,applied patches,applied NO CD patches,nothing works.It keeps asking for a DVD.Ive tried creating an image file,also no luck.So D2 isnt working.(i can install it,but no play)Fine i thought,i`ll install LOD and apply THAT crack and then maybe it will work
.....It doesnt even want to install.It gets to almost the end,and then it gives me an error message that goes " Setup was unable to add the following file to C:\Program Files\Diablo II\d2char.mpq: binkw32.dll
Error 0x85200064: (P:\Data\D2\Tools\Diabinst\source\Mpqutil.cpp:32) Installation aborted"
Ok rough copy of what it says as it wont copy and paste so i might have gotten some capitals wrong or such.
Any idea how/if i can fix this ? Ive tried copying the files to HDD and making a new ISO,ive tried changing files from READ only to Non Read only,etc......any help would be much appreciated
Like i said,redownloading is my LAST option ;(
Running win2K system but tried this on Win 98 Oldskool PC i have around as well,no luck
