Tell warzone2100 where to look for OpenAL32.dll

[Juice]

Is there anyway to tell warzone where to look for openal32.dll? I don't have admin rights on the computer I'm using it on right now, so I can't install it or move the file to the system32 folder.
Warzone won't run without OpenAL, unless I use the "--nosound" command on startup.

Running Windows XP and Latest Version of Warzone.

Thanks in advance.

Do what I do for running warzone as a portable app, put the dll in the same folder as warzone2100.exe.

It worked, thanks.

One other thing, that fix will also work with any other program.

A different thing you could maybe do is add a folder at c:\ called "dlls" and add that folder to your path, not sure if limited users can edit the path though...
anyway you could then put all your dlls there.

pop it on a floppy disk or other storage device
fire up command line.

cd windows
cd system32

copy a:\OpenAL32.dll c:\windows\system32

While you are fixing syntax errors, you might want to fix the word usage, punctuation and spelling errors in your .sig, crunch.

rgr that and tnx you !

sadly my brain was hardwired from the time i was born with logic in mind and i was labeled as being Dyslexic .
nothing in the world for me is harder then spelling \ written language seeing as its anti logic.
silence and math on the other hand when i was in high school i would rip threw it like nothing.

and i don't consider it to be a weakness .its simply we all have vices and ventures \ strengths and weaknesses and were all given a different set of cards when were born.all we can do is the best we can in the after math with what were given.

{edit} sorry meant to say Dysgraphia , and im rated as having 135 IQ

examples of spelling = anti logic
remember a computer~cpu is nothing but a high speed calculator and all it can do is add\subtract\multiply & divide numbers

use
plural
us ing

so i was going down the street and i saw a man puking up a hot dog on the dogs face and tried to directly direct the man in the after math in the right direction because of his lack of consequential continuity.

to french =

J'allais donc dans la rue et j'ai vu un homme vomir un chien chaud sur la face chiens et tenté d'agir directement directe de l'homme dans l'après mathématiques dans la bonne durée à cause de son manque de continuité en conséquence.

While that would work, the admin here is a little smarter than letting you boot into safe mode, let alone use command line.
Of course, I could boot into an alternate operating system, but that's too much effort.
Moving Openal32.dll to the Warzone is a lot faster and easier, don't you think?
