Easy way of installing Sins + Exps?

from Sins Forums

Hi all!

 

I'm the proud owner of the original SoaSE and both expansions, but I've been having problems with my HDD resulting in formatting a few times. The thing is that in every new Windows installation I had to download and install the three games, one by one. I was wondering if there is a way to just install the three games at the same time, with just one click, as I assume that it possible for the ones who bought Trinity.

 

Thanks.

 

I got a new HDD BTW.

 

EDIT: I've read that Trinity doesn't provide a new installer, so it's the same for them. Wouldn't it be a nice Impulse feature to let you install everything at once?

well we already gone from having change 20 to 30 floppy disks down to 4 to 5 CDs in and out of the drive to just clicking a line, not sure why just clicking on Impulse then doing something else (doing something else on the computer no less) and then clicking again is such an issue

Impulse is the best digital installer around. I made the mistake of buying SCII from battle.net. Lets just say battle.net is no impulse (took 2 days to download and install over a high speed cable connection). I've redownloaded Sins several times taking a fraction of that to complete.

I'm not complaining about Impulse. Its download rates are extremely high for me. I only wanted to know if there was an option to install games and their expansions with one click (I assumed that Trinity worked like that, but then realized I was wrong).

okay, sometimes things like this come across like whine

If you just tell Impulse to install Diplomacy, it should automatically prompt to queue Sins/Entrenchment, download all three, and install in the correct order.

Great! Thanks for the information.
