Help me to install W:A

deano · November 13, 2012, 10:53 PM

I have my old W:A disc but since my Dell laptop doesn't have a CD-Drive, I need to mount an ISO.

I did this many years ago but have forgotten the process I need to follow.

Does anyone have a decent guide?

I'm running Windows 7.

ooohhh nice!!!

Download Daemon Tools Lite: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/pol/products/dtLite
The mounting process is very self-explanatory, but I found a step by step tutorial in case you need it: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/4262-how-to-mount-an-image-on-daemon-tools

Thanks Bar, I managed to install and run W:A. I connected to WormNET and joined a game, but upon loading it crashed.

Is there like a modern update I need to install? I seem to remember there being a big beta update a while back.

Edit: Because I'm on Windows 7, I read I might need WormKit. I downloaded it but it still crashed whenever I tried to start a game, even in single player mode.

Yes, here's the link: http://wormsarmageddon.team17.com/main.html?page=supp&area=upda&file=15
While we're at it, you should download and install WormKit and WormNAT2: http://worms.thecybershadow.net/wormkit/ - this module allows you to host with no need to configure your network properties.

Maybe we can rekindle our bromance where we left off

I know you will never be entirely active.. but if you get back even half of your old skill mm/dt will be even more unstoppable can't wait to have a game with you brotha

Me too, I stayed up really late trying to get the game to work, but couldn't.

I'll give it another shot from scratch this week.

How do you guys chat - MSN, AIM, Skype?

you're saying you didn't really remember about daemon tools and beta updates

where the f@#! have you been?

Hey Adolfo.

Okay so I'm now able to play worms using an iso and Daemon tools, I have the latest beta update 3.6.31 - however, I can't get into WormNET and nor can my Wheat Snooper.

Is it down right now or just my issue?

It's just being slow.

Had my first game, alas it was a WxW (I won though).

I need to get myself a keyboard and mouse next, then remember how to play!

See you on WN.
