Technical information

These information is based on the trial version of the Trygames release.

Installer

The Installer is a Wise installer.

  • Most of the audio files in the archive are in .OGG format in order to reduce the installer size, as well as /User/Import/logo2.bmp.jp2 . These files are decoded using a special program called decoder.exe during installation.
  • The installer logs installation process in a temp file, and later moves to INSTALL.LOG after installation.

The installer does the following:

  1. Extracts the uninstaller "UNWISE32.EXE" from the archive to <APPDIR>\UNWISE.exe[1] ; also makes an entry for Add/Remove programs.
  2. Extract all the files from the archive to <APPDIR>.
  3. Launches decoder.exe -f lfiles.lsy -p to decode the .OGG sounds and the .JP2 image.
  4. Deletes the following files (in order)[2]:
    • lfiles.lsy
    • Xjp2.dll
    • libgfl170.dll
    • decoder.exe
  5. Adds links to its group in the start menu[3] (in order):
  6. Writes the following to the registry (in order): 
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\WormsArmageddon]
"PATH"="<APPDIR>"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\WormsArmageddon\Data]
"SubLogicSeed"=dword:00000000

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

  7. Prompts and adds a desktop shortcut to Worms Armageddon.
  8. Advises user to install the Beta 2 update if Windows XP/2000 is detected.[4] Clicking "Yes" launches the browser to download the update from Trymedia:

  9. Activates the Trymedia DRM by writing the following to the registry (in order)[2]: 
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Trymedia Systems\ActiveMARK Software\90E9B1D2C4C85AE675F1822345339973]
