    Possibly your schools' network is designed to pwn games?

    Did you add in the registry values also?
    And is it the same OS thats on the schools pcs?
    Also the Installshield info needs to be there also.
    Are you trying to circumvent the copyright protection system by installing on another machine?

    Again....

    Perhaps your school network doesn't allow games?
    (A long shot, but probably true)

    Definitely needs all this. You can move folders to a network and then to another pc but all the installation data doesnt move and its a pain in the hole getting it to work what with this and that file missing.

    Kids should concentrate on study and not on games while in school...

    You would be better off just installing the Multiplayer demo and playing that across the network. You wont have any problems then.
