I tried Russ's script, and it correctly registered my disk drive, yet I still can't run the game. T-T Again, I'm using Win 7 64 bit.

Can you make a screenshot of your registry at the directory Installer (Alt+PrtScn to copy the window, MSPaint or other picture editor to paste it) and post it here? Perhaps also give an overview of your drives.

Also, you could download the Rollcage patch here and execute it. It won't work (just cancel it), but perhaps add necessary registry entries. Just a shot in the dark, though.

Thanks for the OS info. Try copying that registry information from
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Psygnosis\Rollcage\Installer
to
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432node\Psygnosis\Rollcage\Installer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896459

Please report back whether it works or not, so we add this to the script.

(Russ you know what to do. :P You can make the script guess if the OS is x86 or x64, although writing both registry keys on every system, x86 or x64, is perfectly fine too.)

dude, i have no idea how to figure out if someone is running 64 bit. can you try it? or just write both of the registries on every system? my upload sucks and re-uploading would take another massive amount of time

Uhm, the game files aren't on a CD. The game should work with any CD drive.

Ah OK I didn't know it, I haven't tested the game.
