  • 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'''
