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.

I'm placing the source code into public domain in the hope that someone more passionate about halo will go the extra mile.
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?

Hello guys , i have a problem . I've installed Halo 2 on XP and i can enter the game but i can't play the campaign and the network doesn't work (i dunno if the network is working with the Loader ... i guess not) . When i'm trying a new campaign , after i set my difficulty level , the background appears and there is no menu , no loading screen , nothing .... . Sorry for the post but i really want to play this game on PC and i don't want to put Vista now ....

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).

Don't install vista, the upgrade adviser said my comp would run vista fine.. after it finished upgrading vista killed my computer, i couldn't go into safemode, and i couldn't even do system recovery

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.
