how about unlike installing q3, simply copy paste it to the harddisk?

Any Q3 Version is portable, beazt, nothing special. Copy paste Q3 from hdd to usb stick and it runs.

Really nothing special.

You could also try running the installer in compatibility mode.

I am proud of spreading a pirated Excessive Plus version and claim to be the original author, yay!

..I copied the whole catalogue from my old PC and pasted on the new. It works and i can run the game. But now the game is totally dark and i can barely see anything and the brightness settings dont help at all?! Something about gamma?
