How to register Morrowind in W7 without reinstall?

Post » Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:50 pm

Greetings! Yes, I need to do that, for Fallout 3 too!
I had a HD failure and had to re-install Windows 7 on a new drive. :brokencomputer: My games are always installed on a different drive and I also keep a backup of my save games, so no worries there. How could I manually register Morrowind GOTY so I get back to business like I was before?

Thanks,

You mean Windows Registry? Just copy the game folder somewhere, install the game and then copy over form the backup. Should work.

For future reference, Morrowind recreates most/all of the important registry keys when you run the launcher. You can simply copy-paste installs around and they'll work fine, 99% of the time. :)
