Software Extraction

[RedRival]

Hi, I was wondering whether this is possible.

I have Chinese Star 2003 on my mum's PC. Unfortunately, this software was pre-installed and there's no installation disc or exe that comes with it. I want this program so what I did was simply copy the entire folder located in Program Files and paste it on my hard-drive :P.

Then, I extracted all the registry files related to Chinese Star and install it on my computer. THe splash screen pops up, but ultimately, the software dun work. I was wondering whether I was missing some dll or some other vital components to run the program.

So, I'm wondering whether there's a method or program that finds all related content of a particular content and put them together.

You'll probably need some DLLs or similar files that are stored elswhere on the HD. I don't know of any way to do this, other than to download a copy of the software you want.

it's virtually impossible to find an appz of Chinese Star 2003 or XP anywhere. :(

The closest thing would be using Filemon (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml) and Regmon (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/regmon.shtml) to see what files and reg settings the program is looking for. Any 'not found's would mean you've missed something.

Of course, I'd rather just download it if I was trying to get this program. You might be able to find a more recent version, too.

P.S.: eMule is really good for rare stuff. You might be able to find it there.
