Age of Empires III
1) Create a Temp folder on your hardrive.
Name this folder: AOEIII_DVD. This will be the name (Label) of our DVD.
2) Copy all the contents from CD1 to the AOEIII_DVD folder.
3) Copy all the contents from CD2 to the same AOEIII_DVD folder. Overwrite any files if prompted.
4) Copy all the contents from CD3 to the same AOEIII_DVD folder. Again overwrite any files if prompted.
5) Download and Install ‘Orca’
Once Orca is installed, Right Click the file ‘Age of Empires III.msi’ and from near the top of the menu choose ‘Edit with Orca’. (You may have to edit the properties of this file and untick the ‘read only’ attribute, but as it is copied to the harddrive it is probably already edited automatically).
When opened you will see 2 window panes, go to the ‘Tables’ one on the left and scroll down to ‘Media’
Click on ‘Media’ this will show you the entries in the Right pane.
Change all the entries in the ‘VolumeLabel’ column to: AOEIII_DVD
Then ‘Save’ it.
6) Delete the ‘CDCheck.exe’ file.
This ‘CDCheck.exe’ file comes from CD2 and CD3 and is only for displaying the ‘Flash’ message to insert CD1. (It’s for the message you would get if you inserted CD2 or CD3, instead of CD1, to install the game.)
7) Copy any Age of Empires III cracks to the Cracks folder and organize them however you wish.
8) Copy any Age of Empires III Updates to the Updates folder and organize them however you wish
9) Copy your Serials for AOE3 to this ~Spam~ file and then Save it.
10) Burn the contents of the AOEIII_DVD folder to a DVD with the Label: AOEIII_DVD
