hello people of the tech support forum
! I suddenly felt like playing Codwaw again, but am unable to due to iwd files 18-20 becoming "missing". The below is basically a repost from the codhq forums that pretty accurately describes my problem.

Ok, so a while back, I think maybe a month ago, I tried to install a patch (don't remember which) which deleted all the .exe files from the CODWAW directory. After I realized this, I tried copy pasting the exe files from the disk to the codwaw folder, which didn't work as it was an unpatched exe and when I tried patching it, it told me the patch was already installed.
So then I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling it. When reinstalling, It stops eventually and says something along the lines of "can't access iwd_18, make sure you can access it and try again, etc." then when I cancel out of it, it will say error 1603 and close out. I've went into D:/Setup/Data/main from the disk and can in fact verify that iwd_18-20 are there. It's like they're invisible to the installer. Anybody know how I can fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I actually tried installing it again while waiting for a reply and there was an error 1305, if that matters. It still couldn't find Iwd_18 as well.

There's one detail I left out, as I hadn't thought about it at the time, my brother wanted to play codwaw on his laptop so I let him borrow the disk/cd key/ whatever he needed. I don't know how this could cause my problem but it's likely it has something to do with it.
"halp pl0x!!!"
edit: oh, and i've tried googling it, all I get is a bunch of pirate sites
