map?


If you mean you have made the zip from the gb64 dir, then the answer is yes and no. If you've just deleted the folder for more space and not uninstalled gamebase and just recopied it later yes it will work. If you have reinstalled windows or are copying it over to a new computer then the answer is NO it won't work as the registry settings alone will make sure of that, and that's without even the issues you will likely have with DLLs.

I don't think anyone is understanding what you are asking. You can zip any files or directory structures, so what are you trying to do? If you are just zipping the files you added, then why zip them at all? Just copy them to a CD. I highly doubt you have added 650MB of stuff. What do you mean by "install?"
