UPDATED 2011-09-06

I have updated the script to try and make it v4 compliant. Not sure if i did this, so please help me out by posting suggestions on this script.

This is my first time doing something like this, so there is probably errors in it that need to be fixed. There are different publishers for this game, and each one has a different installation directory. I have the Hasbro Interactive version, but I need someone with the Infograms version to test (and all other versions if there is more, so I can add them.) Feel free to post changes.

old v3 script (not even v3 compliant) are not validated anymore.

If you want to know how a v4 script is, check, for example, Assassin's Creed script, it will help you to make a v4 one.

I have updated the script. Check first post.

Better but still not v4, we cannot validate it until its v4 compliant. A proper v4 doc will be done soon to help contributors.

Ok. I will continue once v4 documentation is available.

A side note, we separate game installation from patches, when it's not an auto-patch system (like steam). If the game must be patched to work, add a message at the end of the installation, to invite users to launch specific patch script.

I used this script and the Latest Wine Versions 3.0-rc5 or 6 , seems to have solved alot of the  Copy Protection issues , If

you have issues installing try setting it to use window mode.  

Here is the link to the  Upgrade file to upgrade Roller coaster Tycoon Version.
