@alli, go to Windows explorer and explore the new "drive" that has the mounted image. Please note that it has a crack folder with a keygen and an .exe file.
Install the game using the keygen, then replace the generated .exe file with the one in the crack folder.
Start the game by clicking on the cracked .exe file NOT the generated shortcut. Make a new shortcut pointing to the cracked .exe file instead.
Thanks. I'll try that in a minute. I decided to unRAR it again thinking it maybe got corrupted or something while unpacking itself. And now 7zip is taking its dear sweet time.
