Hey guys,
I have a built game I would like to put on a disc, but when I copy the (entire) file I get this message:

Problem Copying
Windows encountered a problem when trying to copy this folder.
What do you want Windows to do?
(options i have)
|Retry| |Skip| |Cancel|

Please help!

Thanks
Jared

I suggest you download Clickteam's Install Creator http://www.clickteam.com/eng/installcreator.php
Then you select the folder which contains your game and all its files and make an installer. Copy this installer to disc so your customers can install it to their HDD (FPSC games cannot run off CD\DVD formats).

Burn all your files from the game to a cd.Once you put the cd into a computer,you must copy it onto the computer.

Try this, use winzip or winrar or windows built in compression software and zip all or your game files up into one big zip file and burn it to DVD/CD, the the person that wants to install just has to extract it of the DVD/CD to there hard drive then play.

Best

Just got it to work then - downloaded a CD burner program.

Now, how to I play the games on the disc on other peoples computers? so I give them a disc and they can play it?

Because I know it doesn't work if you just play it straight off the disc.


Help would be VERY much appreciated
