??? What do you mean? With what game do you have the problem? I have UWA but I have never seen that it would want a floppy...

I'm trying to install Bane from the Ultimate Wizardry Archives CD.

The Bane installer wants to install Bane from A: instead of the cd drive. How do I work around this?

TIA

Bane says "install from A:". That's all I know.

(merged related topics - please avoid cross-posting)

Change the A: to something else, such as the letter of the CD-ROM drive. If that doesn't work, try the letter and the Bane directory together, e.g.:
D:\Bane
(where D is your CD-ROM drive letter, which may be different for you)

You could probably also just copy the files from the Bane folder to somewhere on your hard drive, then run winstall.exe to set the desired options, then select "CONFIG ONLY" to save the settings.

I tried changing the source to the cd drive but nothing happened. The cursor just kept blinking after I hit return, while the cd got accessed a few times. I didn't see a winstall file so will haveta check.

Thanks!

If you're not running winstall from the Bane directory, then what are you running as an installer?

Dont use the installer. Copy the files to the directory you like to use. Then execute the winstall.exe and adjust your settings. After that you should be able to play the game normally.

If you experience any problems with the winstall you might need to adjust your file attributes. Something like attrib -r *.* /s in the Bane directory should to the trick.
