This Version Requires the 1.5 patch.

Installing

One problem people have is that you cannot install Worms2 to a directory with spaces. Such as "C:\Program Files\Team17\Worms2"

However it is in fact possible. You must edit a registry key to use the old DOS abbreviations instead of using the full name.

The key is located at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\Worms2"

You must use "C:\Progra~1\Team17\Worms2" instead of "C:\Program Files\Team17\Worms2"

Example:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\Worms2]

"W2Path"="C:\\Progra~1\\Team17\\Worms2"

and it works! this can also be done to any other folder with spaces in it.
