Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
phyllis_p:
Well, I guess a clear indication of how much I'm liking the game is that I wish I could be at home today and play some more :-) It has a lot of differences from TS2, but so far I've enjoyed it a great deal.
@snowluv: This was my first arrrr experience, too. This is what I did: I used WINRAR to unRAR the iso to a folder on my desktop. Then I checked the setup exe with WINRAR to see if it would open -- some versions apparently have the real setup exe hidden within a virus-dropper of some sort. Mine would not open, so all was good. Then I clicked the setup exe to install the game. When it asked for a serial code, I used the keygen in the Crack folder to generate it. After installation, I took the TS3.exe file out (I'm sorry, I'm at work and don't have the complete path here) and put it in a safe place, then replaced it with the TS3.exe that is in the Crack folder. Finally, I changed the Target of the desktop icon from the launcher exe to the TS3.exe. No disk required. I hope this was understandable and helps a bit.

Thanks, Phyllis. But I am still not understanding why we have to burn the ISO to disc, or what to do with it once we've done that.

Don't do that.
Don't use any disks at all. (I know, I was confused at first as well).
One you've got the iso, unRAR it to desktop and go from there.

Thanks, Phyllis. I guess what you are explaining is what is called 'mounting' ? The only tricky part then is being careful about the virus-dropper that is attached to some of the available downloads. The rest I know how to do because I removed SecuROM from my system and am familiar with using the no-cd crack. So, in reality, burning the ISO files to disc is unnecessary? If that's all there is to this why did I stay up half the night doing searches?? ::) Because I am a noob. ;D

snow hopefully this will help. Burning the iso to disc makes an install disc. I personally mount the iso with Daemon Tools and skip the burning part, but I don't want to confuse you. After burnign teh disc you install it like any other game. When it ask for the serial key, go to my computer, and to the drive where your disc is and right click and explore. You should see a crack folder with a key generator file inside. Run the key generator to get your serial key , then go back and continue the install. After the install is completed, don't start the game. Go back to the Crack folder, copy the exe crack and paste it into the actual gane directory where you installed the game. It should ask if you want to copy and replace the file, you of course click yes. After that clicking the exe file should start the game. The disc you burn is only for the install and access to the crack folder. I hope that helps
