Baldur's Gate DVD network install

[Ray]

Hi All

I'm trying to install Baldur's Gate from a DVD that is located on my home
network. The game installs without problem but when I run the game it asks
me to install the DVD in drive D. I can't do this as the DVD player is not
in this machine. How do I get Baldur's Gate to accept that it was installed
from a network device? Does anyone have any advice?

Many thanks

Ray

Do a *Full Install*.

Edit baldur.ini and make sure that the Alias section looks like this:

[Alias]
HD0:=C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\
CD1:=C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\CD1\
CD2:=C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\CD2\
CD3:=C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\CD3\
CD4:=C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\CD4\
CD5:=C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\CD5\

Finally, go grab a no-cd patch for BG2. If you do all three of those things
you should never have to joust with the CDs. My current install of BG2 was
basically a tarball extraction of my old computer's install and everything
works fine -- you don't even need the registry entries to play the game.
