Aww.. i hate Microsoft.. they took a great series and ruined it by forcing people to use Vista just to play it Once again Microsoft shits on us all with their bullshit "Exclusive game" I hope they die. They ruined bungies great game and turned it into nothing.

Installation Instructions:
1) Extract the archive.
2) Insert the Halo 2 DVD
3) Run Startup.exe on the Halo 2 DVD using the included Loader.exe
Ie.: Loader.exe D:\Startup.exe(START-RUN-CMD.....ie.:Loader.exe D:\Startup.exe)
4) Install the game.
5) Install XLiveRedist1.0.6027.msi and vcredist.msi from the \redists dir on the Halo 2 DVD.
6) Copy the following files into the directory you installed Halo 2:
dwmapi.dll, mf.dll, MFPlat.dll
7) Finished. To play the game, run halo2.exe using the included Loader.exe
Ie.: Loader.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\halo2.exe"(START-RUN-CMD.....ie.:Loader.exe"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\halo2.exe"
8) Workaround for playing rest of game found!!!!!

Everyone who can't activate now can! Not really but on the same border.

1. Take the Loader version of MF.DLL and place it into you WINDOWS\system32 folder (ie.. C:\WINDOWS\system32\)

2. Take RZR1911 version of MF.DLL and place it into your Halo 2 folder (ie.. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\)


Notes:
You need to be logged in with an administrator account for Loader.exe to work, since it uses privileged API's.
Currently the code for playing the intro and credits movies is unimplemented,
so if you want to see them you'll have to play them yourself (they're located in \movie).
I haven't tested the online functionality of the game, it will probably need more attention.

Have fun playing

Are you using an virtual PC?I tried it with that,too and it won't work.

You have to click on:"Custom installation"--->install without starting/playing

Then put all the files to their places from wowloader and join.

To the ones who werent fortunate enough to get it to work, I'm sorry.

I've pretty much accomplished what I set out to do.


Get the source code here: WowLoader-SRC.rar
You are working really hard for that.thank you dude!

But,in the loaderSRC are datas which I don't need.I don't use C++ .Do I need this programm?

Did you installed XLiveRedist1.0.6027.msi and vcredist.msi from the \redists dir on the Halo 2 DVD?
Perhaps the newes directX should help you(DirectX9.0c Jun).

Can anyone help me install the game? I used the newest loader, get to the custom install, and click full install and no start. Then it gives me a bunch of "cannot read memory address 0x******". Is there anything I'm missing to install? I even copied the mf.dll to \system32.

This in response to a post written long ago on Page 3. DDR2 SDRAM, 1 gb, does not cost 100 USD. If you go on Newegg.com, you can buy 2 gb's for 60 USD, 667 mhz, with heat spreaders.

Additionally, I am able to run H2V with a 3.4 ghz Pentium D, 1 gb of DDR(1) SDRAM at 300 mhz speed, with a 256mb ATi Radeon 9550, with GDDR(1) VRAM, and running at 400 mhz. Don't listen to the system requirements. I run the game on high quality with no stuttering, but no antialiasing.
