Retail version of The Wheel of Time does not launch.

The Retail version of The Wheel of Time does not start with this.

The game was originally released on 2 CDs, disc 2 being the one that SafeDisc needs to do its thing.

The Wheel of Time uses SafeDisc V1, and I read what you said about some versions needing the drvmgt.dll removed from the same location as the exe. The Wheel of Time does not have this file present amongst the game's files, but it is located on disc 2 which is the disc required for SafeDisc. Because of it being on the disc, the dll file cannot be removed.

There are two retail versions of The Wheel of Time game: Version 300 and Version 333b. Version 300 is what is installed directly from the discs while 333b is an official patch for the game.

On the plus side, upon launching the game, the disc drive is being used and the splash screen (which originally does not show up) now shows up which does not happen originally without your software installed, the game just won't launch.

I have provided logs for both versions of the game (in case they do something slightly different).

Version 300: WoT.exe_300_SafeDiscShim.log WOT.ICD_300_SafeDiscShim.log

Version 333b: WoT.exe_333b_SafeDiscShim.log WOT.ICD_333b_SafeDiscShim.log
