PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components -> Accessories -> Games -> check Pinball and hit ok until prompted for disc (or not)the complete file list is located in c:\windows\inf\pinball.inf if you wanna look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywipeout Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Thanks for that but wanted to know if and where, could find it on my xp install disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 (edited) on cd in I386 folder; all files "compressed" (eg "pinball.in_" is the INF to be "expanded" using "extract" program). 3 inf's of importance - games (, pinball, and sysoc INF's (.IN_); also "layout.inf" (not compressed). browse around in there - you'll find your answers... oh yeah, files installed are also compressed (eg pinball.ex_).this is as far as i remember... only reason i'm this "edjumucated" is because i used someone else' method of transmigrating xp games onto win2k3 (bored, i guess...).

jonnywipeout Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Have found the pinball.inf and other files but what extraction program do i need to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) "expand.exe" - it's in the OS. Needs to be executed from the command prompt. only need to expand "pinball.in_"; other components expand/install from it... u need to have some minor knowledge on INF structure also...put all components into a folder, go to command prompt, change to that folder, run "expand /?" to get the gist of how it works; then proceed to expand!

PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 expanding the files manually is the only way to do it if you don't want to use the GUIyou might be able to get it here (didnt try cause im not registered) since I suspect that topic is what you are trying to do. (only logical reason i can think to not want to use the installer)http://www.aeroxp.org/board/index.php?showtopic=8552 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
