BV and no CD?
kutto:
I can attest to the fact that you need not run the actual .exe for SecuRom to latch itself to your computer. I never ran the real .exe, no launcher, only the no-cd crack. I thought I was safe because the service did not show up, and there was no folder. I even skimmed the registry, though not well enough the first time, as I found it hidden in there a few days later.
morriganrant:
I've read that if you install BV under an account that does not have Admin privileges then it will install SecuRom service on install. If it is installed on an Admin account then it installs when you run the game. I could be wrong. I do know that if you remove securom and then try to play using the original exe then SecuRom will re-install itself.

Just to be sure, and because I don't really want to read up on 7 pages of posts for something I found out about this week, I just wanted to ask this:
All you need to download from the interweb to run the game is a no-cd crack.
No weird wonky tools, or other bits of hacked mayhem? Just a crack?

Correct. I got mine from www.gamecopyworld.com, the Fairlight variety. I can't go there right now to directly link the download...bad place to browse to at work.

That is correct -- if you install it on an admin account, no SecuROM stuff shows up on the machine until you run the .exe for the first time. And then it's only registry keys, not the whole kit-and-caboodle that installs under a limited-rights user account.
