Thanks steps .. i haven't tried it with the cd version, but what you say makes sense. I'll edit my posts when i remember my passwords..
The installer method is definitely way simpler than making a cd image IMHO. Legality issues are just a technicality, and Team17 can go to hell if they object to paying customers using a no-cd patch.
This installer is a huge step forward for the PX community, because it makes it so much easier for unmotivated people to get started. Hopefully it will result in a huge increase in PX players.
Suggested changes so far:-Add a checkbox "CD Version" which either:
---Installs a non-modified WA.exe 3.6.31.0 (instead of the cracked no-cd), OR
---Uses wkFileOverride to auto-copy CD contents to WA folder
-Rename wkRubber dll to wkPubber
The wkFileOverRide method would be good because it's legal (I think), so the installer wouldn't get deleted off the Steam forums. The installer looks pretty advanced so hopefully one of the above "CD version" changes would be possible to incorporate
