You were able to burn it to a CD?!? How? I just DL'd it and it was installed by the store...Is there a file location that would allow a valid burn disk to run an install from?

I didn't burn it to disc. I downloaded it just like you. I just made a copy to my data drive where I put all my CD media rips so I don't need to re-download it again. There's a directory on your HD where EA Downloader puts the actual executables. You could burn that installer to CD for future use.

I just redownloaded and reinstalled my NS and it asked for nothing I just got on and started playing once it finished installing.

Well EA has a EA Download option that allows you to install by just loging in and running the install, standard is duration is 2 months and if you cough up $6 it is for 2 years. I would like to have it on disk...mainly because it would be faster and more convenient.

WileECyte, was that file under the EADM cache and about 164 meg?

That sounds about right. I can verify when I get home.

No key needed for NS and as far as the longevity of your purchased software via EA Downloader, I redid my system recently and redownloaded everything I had previously purchased which stretched back more then 18 months.(Armored fury, NS, and that other BF2 bonus pack).

But Wile's suggestion on burning it to CD is the way to go as it is always nice to have a hard copy!

The first 2 tries were fail, cuz I didn't know how to do it properly, then the third try, I decided to charge at it, and dismount my horse. All of a sudden, my Horse just blows up in a shower of blood.

I love you, Rockstar.

Very much win. Wish I still had it so I could attempt this feat.

My first experience with a train on that game:

I wasn't paying attention and got run over by one in a tunnel. As it is rolling over me I figure I'm dead but somehow I pop up inside of the first train car. I was very displeased when I couldn't find a safe to rob.
