Best way for no-cd starcraft?

My friend keeps losing his cd and i told him i'd figure out to just put it on his comp so he wouldn't need it. I am unsure what the best way is. I've heard of something called "Daemon tools", in the past. I would rather not have to install some other programs in order to do it.

I can use my cd to get the install.exe, but what then?

Thanks for any help as always

BWLauncher is definitely the best. Keeping a 700MB image file on your computer is just a waste.

And where can i get this BWLauncher. Just googled it > can't find a link

bwlauncher needs to be updated every time a new patch comes out

the no-cd crack from www.monikon.prv.pl has worked with every version since 1.09 without any update needed
there is a "small" install.exe on this website, which is like 25mb or something - the disadvantage is the lack of music tho
I have returned

also if you're talking about putting the actual CD image onto the computer, I believe daemon tools would work (although never used it). Alcohol 120% is also really good (and lets you mount images on virtual drives).

I use Alcohol 120%
k, it's 700MB of HD space, but it's sooooo much easier when a patch comes.

Hi all. I have tries both alcohol 120% and d-tools... Nothing worked for me I´ve tried to burn a bw-cd , still the same. Always comes the same error: Your starcraft CD may not be in the cd-rom. I have deleted the Bw-launcher, reinstalled sc,etc. nothing helped... When I downloaded the newest bwlauncher, it didnt have a no-cd tab, just enable sc-extension for 1.14. It doesnt launch the game. I have a crack(although I cannot play with my cd), but i prefer the old good BWlauncher. Can anyone help me ? Thank you

p.s. After deleting bwlauncher and starcraft, I deleted ALL the registry entries as well. Then tried to install everything again.

Change your registry to check the daemon drive for the cd rather than your cd rom drive. then it will work.
