Installation Troubles

First time out of the vault
First post in the forums, been playing fallout since it came out (god i remember when i got the game my computer barely fit the minimum requirements lol) and i remember playing Fallout 2 for the first time on Holloween (damn tricker treaters)

but anyway i have had tactics for a while i never came anywhere near beating it though (i think i got to the beta bunker before i gave up on it) and now i wanna play it again but im having difficulties installing.


i searched for a long time trying to find a solution to the problem, and then found the whole rip the cd's and run em via daemon.

the two problems im having is that i cant find anything that converts the cd's to ISO's to use which is what is mentioned in that FAQ, and when i use the cdmage, i only have one minor problem with disc 3, nothing wrong with 2, and alot of medium errors on disc one.


i repaired them and mounted them on daemon and when cd one went to run the auto play came up, but it had yellow streaks across parts of it which doesnt really bother me but when i try to run the install, first it tells me that the uninstaller is malfunctioning so i wont be able to uninstall the game, and then when it goes to install it just stops working at around 32% (on all 3 install sizes by the way)

So i hypothesized that its crashing around the time it wants to switch discs. so i copied the files in into a folder onto my hard drive from the repaired ripped files, not the cds since i tried that in the past and was only able to get the game to open the menu but i couldnt play at all. the same thing occured.

so im guessing that disc one is basically fubar'ed but i figured id have some people who know alot more about the subject (im fairly new at ripping in general, and ive tried everything i know on how to get this to work in the past with no success)
 
yeah there are some but nothing horrific, ive definantly seen much worse and have them work fine


EDIT: ive acually got it to install the game now, and i copied all my repaired core files into the directory but im still having a problem whenever i try to play the game via using the autoplay menu it says specified file cannot be found, so im assuming the exe file for it was corrupted from the cd, right now im about to download a patch for the game and i hope it will add couple files that are missing so it runs, maybe someone would be willing to tell me every file that should be in the first directory the game is in to see if i missing some executables or data files since those are easy to replace (if someones willing to send me an exe file or something, that isnt a virus...)

EDIT2:

damnit i downloaded the patch and when i go to install it it wont install because it cant find fallout tactics! grrr

anyone wanna give me a run down of the names of all the folders that should be in the game, and all the dat files etc that are in the main one just to see if im missing something?
 
Alright. So I'm currently in the middle of the full installation. At (what I beleive to be) the end of the first disc, I get this error message:


An error has occured during the move data process: -106

Componet: Install
File Group: Install
File: spr-critter_0.bos


So I'm not sure what I should do about it. If you'd need more information to get the answer, or you find one, a PM would be appreciated.
