Doctor Who Adventure Games - Gunpowder Plot

How to install.It seems that the Proxy method doesn't work any longer. at least for everyone.

Thanks to Doctorjonhsmith for posting these instructions.

There is an other way to install it, thought it is a bit complicated. I didn't try yet for this version, but it worker for Blood of the cybermen :

The following assumes you have downloaded the installation file.

1. Open up the hosts file at C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/ in notepad.

2. Add 127.0.0.1 www.bbc.co.uk to the end of the file and save it.

3. Download XAMPP (the exe is better than the zip)

(http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html) and install it. Run the XAMPP control panel and start Apache... you do not need to run MySQL for this.

4. Go to wherever you installed XAMPP and into the htdocs folder. For example, C:XAMPPhtdocs.

5. From there, create this folder structure inside C:XAMPPhtdocs:
doctorwhotagapigeo

6. Inside the geo folder, create a file called isukrequest. Open this file inside notepad, and add the number 1 and nothing else.

7. Save the file, and now run the game installation.

This essentially stops your computer from contacting the BBC website, and instead, redirects the call to see if you are in the UK to your own computer and thus when it finds the request file telling it that you are indeed in the UK... the installation starts.

You may need to go back into your HOSTS file and take out the BBC reference after you're done installing.
