I've emailed Evak about the issue- I know Blitz exes will need to be run off the drive- all of my programs use readfile to access INIs- and this is where the problem lies.

Evak, I will write some code to copy the projects into a temp location on the HDD before running-then remove them after running. It will be easy to incorporate into the small piece of code I wrote to help with the path issues, but it might be messy- since when files are copied off the CD, theyre set to read only. *sigh*. Might mean some DOS batches >.<;;

The other option, if you dont need them to be interactive- is to just record high quality videos.

I have a question too- Any idea how to remove a files Read Only attribute without chucking up a DOS box? :)
