A question about installing SS2 on Windows 7

[66675ee89b5faFironkkuify]

So I had this plan to try and install SS2 on a Windows 7 comp long-distance.  In other words, I'm transferring the SHOCK folder with all its stuff to my friend who can then use SS2 tool to try and install it.

The problem is this; she doesn't have the CD.  So before I run into a snag, I need to know.  Is the CD necesssary to make the installation work?

If the CD is necesssary, I guess I'll need to find a torrent or something =Z

You only need the "shock" folder from the CD.

So no need for the CD to be in the computer right?

[66675ee89b9b2Kolya]

Right.

As an added question, why is SS2 Mod Manager recommended?  For the ease of turning mods on and off?

[66675ee89bbb2Kolya]

Mainly that yeah, uninstalling mods without the manager is cumbersome to say the least.
But the mod manager also auto-fixes the registration of LGVID.AX, which gets regularly lost on the Vista/7 and it has other useful tools, eg fixing broken key bind files. That's why it's recommended.

I'll move this thread to the help desk forum.
