GOG Offline/backup installed copy of the game cannot be extracted by MSI #252

Hi

I don't think it's the installer itself which is the problem. The installer copy all the files (and EXTRACT files specifically) and rollback deleting all of them just before the extract step. So it can't extract anything without them. Even if you extract the files manually with remc2, the installer will delete all of them !

Anyway, thanks for your great work, I can't wait to play Magic Carpet 2 again !

Hi. I have found it is a permission issue. It will be fixed in the next Release.

The game in the next release can now be installed using the just the CD. It will not bring across the save files in this case though. When it is run it will run the built in code to basically install the game. I think this will work well for most people. I have a few more days work on the MSI until I can release it. I need to check the upgrading code works and I would like it to rip the tracks from the CD.
