Installer

InstallShield installer located at /Install/Install.exe. The files seem to be extracted from /Install/data1.cab. InstallShield cabs can be extracted manually with unshield or i5comp.

The installer appears to do the following:

  • Extract group "Program Executable Files" from data1.cab to APPDIR
  • Copies /Install/Install/WA.exe from cd to APPDIR
  • Copies /Data/Resources/LANGUAGE/readme.rtf to APPDIR
  • Copies /Data/Resources/LANGUAGE/names.wdb to APPDIR/User
  • Copies the directory /Data/User/Speech/English/ to create APPDIR/User/Speech. does this change if the language changes?
  • Creates empty directories Fanfare, SavedLevels, Schemes, and Support in APPDIR/User.
  • Writes the following to the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Worms2.Exe]
@='''APPDIR'''"\\Worms2.Exe"
"Path"='''APPDIR'''

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Team17 Software Ltd.]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Team17 Software Ltd.\Worms Armageddon]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Team17 Software Ltd.\Worms Armageddon\1.00.000]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\WormsArmageddon]
"PATH"='''APPDIR'''

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\WormsArmageddon\Data]
