How to install PR1 from prbf2_1.0.29.0_full.iso

Post by Tommygun »

Hi there,
how does one actually install prbf2_1.0.29.0_full.iso ? It says instructions are on the download page but they are not actually? I realize I have to wait for a passwd but what will I do with the .iso? do I need to get a double sided DVD or will we just mount it with one of those errr...mounty programs?

You need a program like PowerIso or Daemon Tools, as far as I know. You could burn the image to a disc but it would be redundant when you can use software to replicate a disk drive.

You can also open the ISO file with WinRAR (or similar programs). And then it's just a matter of running the installer.

Aha! Thanks AfterDune, you right. Winrar looks like the right tool.

Problem using winrar is that you need 6 GB for the .iso, 6GB for the unzip, and another 6+ GB for the acutal game install.

Using a virtual drive is the better option. That uses only the 6GB .ISO, and installs it directly to the hard drive. No need to decompress the *.iso first like in WinRar.

I prefer using VIRTUAL CLONE DRIVE, a simple and effective tool which you can download here:
