I always wondered... why does the Remake need to have TPR installed? Can't it just read the files from my original TPR CD instead? (not sure if same would be possible with an GOG downloaded version, which I assume is just a single .exe file) I don't want to play TPR at all, I am 100% interested in the Remake only.

Yes I actually understood what sado meant,
but since it checks for registry entry (if I remember correctly), it's less abusable than having an .iso file or a burnt CD of a version that would be downloaded illegaly. Most cracked version don't install those registry entries and thus it makes the security better (and copyright owners less likely to be nasty), as less people will be able to install it without a legal TPR.
It does a selection between most cracked versions / most legal versions to have the step "install TPR".
Well that's how I understood it and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

hello

well thanks skypper well i didnt download it.
And i have tried lewins idea and it works
That's not a great solution because he won't be able to install any future KaM Remake versions or updates without TPR installed properly. Did you try using compatibility mode? Right click on the installer exe, properties, compatibility, try Windows XP (that's how it is in Windows 7, I'm not sure about 8)

if you open the CD in a new window then setup properties then compatibility and then windows 7.

thanks for all the responds
