Copying Compressed Files to CD
Trying to copy a game patch (a compressed/zipped file which I downloaded to my desktop from Internet) to a CD for use on another computer. I used the "copy files and folders to a CD" instructions to copy the file to a CD. The computer claimed to have copied the file and discharged the supposedly copied CD. But when I try to load the file from the CD to the other computer, it will not install. In fact, it shows up as "read only". I checked the file properties before copying to the CD, and the "read only" box is not checked on the file originally downloaded from the Internet. I also tried "extract all files" and got another desktop icon. But after loading it to the CD, it also shows up as "read only" and will not install. What am I failing to do? Thanks to anyone willing to help

Let me paraphrase what I think you are telling me....to make sure that I understand.
1. Update the game to be patched on the computer to which the patch was downloaded.
2. Try copying the complete updated game files from "C" drive on this computer to a CD.
3. Try to install the files from the CD onto the second computer....as if this were the game's install disk.
Does that sound right? Thanks very much.

- Burn that patch on computer "A" to a CDR disk.
- Put the CDR disk with the patch into computer "B" and drag the patch onto
the hard drive.
- Change the attributes of the patch on the hard drive computer "B" if required.
- Excecute the patch from the hard drive of computer "B" for the game on computer "B".
