I downloaded and ran it but when it comes to the CD setup it just keeps coming up with an error, for some reason its trying to create a folder on my CD drive?
Bizzare.
Any help installing it would be appreciated.
Perhaps if i try a different EPC version it might work.
Do you have a copy i can leech?

Can't do it at the moment to try it as Im at work , but from what I can see you download the EPC program , and teh CD ISO images , then you can burn those ISO images to CD using Nero or alike , or use an ISO reader program to fake the PC into mounting teh ISO image as a CD ( can explain if needed )

PS hope you have Broadband for those ISO images !

Thanks Sparx
I've already downloaded the ISO images, Thank god for broadband.
Ive burned the to CD but still no luck, would like to try the ISO reader method if you can explain more.
Also probably need the EPC program again, not sure about the one i've got.
Cheers

OK the Tools I have used in the past hve proved very good, but alas I am behind a very strict firewall (MOD) and my access to the internet is limited !

But the software is reviewed here http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_so...emon_tools.cfm

it is called daemon tools and allows you to point to the saved ISO image and mount it as a drive letter or a virtual CD . Download that and have a go . in the mean time i will have a play and see if i can get hold of this EPC stuff.

Good luck

Just another thought !

Did you have a read of the FAQ too ?

It seems you have to name the CD correctly !

Sparx. I have got the ISO files on hard drive and renamed them as per the FAQ but i am not sure how to burn them correctly, i am using Nero, but when i burn it it just goes on to the cd as the .ISO file, surely thats not right?
Thats probably why i get the errors when trying to run CD setup in the EPC program.
Is there a correct way to burn the ISO image?

Okey dokey , the ISO is like an direct image of the CD , so you can't just stick the ISO onto the CD. Its Something Like

NERO : New Compilation : CD ROM(ISO) ((The top option I think ))
Then select No Multisession , and instead of clicking onNEW , Click onOPEN down the bottom and point it to the ISO image.

See how you get on with that one.

Good luck

Or, open Nero, cancel any wizards that might pop up, click on File menu, select Burn Image... then select the .iso file, should be fairly obvious from there....Good luck m8.

Hmmmm done everything by the book.
Discs have been re-named correctly, correct dir structure on discs.
EPC loaded correctly onto CD's
When i go to setup the CD's in the EPC program eveything appears to go smoothley, i.e it says copying from CD to HD, but when i go back to the main menu, and click on any of the parts menu's it tells me to run setup.
The only thing i can think of is the CD discs i am using are CDRW maybe it will only work on CDR's?
Any ideas folks?

Have this trouble with CDRW, works one in about five attempts even burning music on them fails as well.

Have you tried using the Daemon tools to create a virtual CD with the ISO image ?

CDRW's cause me no end of trouble , I buy a batch of 100 or so cheap ( no cases ) CDR's to play about with then buy good CDR's for music and stuff i want to keep.
