Installing Take Two with the new updates from Roxio

Recommended Posts

Ok here is my initial plan:

 

Do a fresh install of Win2k

Install Easy CD 5 (custom) and choose to NOT install Take Two software.

After sucessful install I will apply the update to 5.01

Then I will put the install disc back in and install Take Two.

Before running Take Two I will install the 1.03 patch that adds Win2k support, after reboot I will install the 1.03e patch for the hell of it...

 

So what do you guys/gals think? This the most streamlined way to do it?

 

HOPEFULLY after all that work i can run Take Two and create an Image so that I never have to do it again...

 

You thoughts and opinions are appreciated

Let me know if it works. I am afraid to to install Take Two unless I hear from someone that the new patch actually works for it.

The new patch does work.

 

The patch just published on the Roxio site that upgrades to version 5.01. Read the text with index of changes & corrections of bugs.

Wolf, thanks... I KNOW that it is supposed to work. I am just trying to determine the best way of "getting" it to work.

 

For instance if I install Easy 5 with Take Two then the BSOD will appear and the installation will be corrupt. But If I install it custom and then apply the patch and then install Take Two it should not give me the BSOD...

 

I was more or less thinking aloud about the install when I started this thread and I was hoping that somebody had gone through those steps that I laid out, but it looks as though I may just be the guinea pig of the group...

 

I am not reformating till next Friday so there is still time for someone to post an easier way to install then the one above.

I installed Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.0 with all options including Take Two a few weeks ago on my two home computers running Windows 2000 Professional and did not have any problems with the reported 'Blue Screen of Death' as reported by some people.

I have not actually backed up anything with Take Two yet but I started it up after I heard about the reported problems to see if there would be any errors, with no problems encountered.

I do plan to update to 5.01 before actually backing up anything with Take Two though.
