Help Please: I've installed a fair amount of Mac cracks but not much on Windows: what do I do with a file that says "login" with "application" being its type? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Got the program installed and moved a dll file to where I believe it goes but am still getting asked to login, which when I click it, takes me to their site and doesn't ask me about using an offline installation method. Someone suggested I change the "login" files name to "application" and try again and it's still behaving the same way. Sometimes clicking that file a lot brings up a black prompt looking screen that I can't figure out what to do with. Is there somewhere I should put this file?

I've tried two different downloads of this same program and am running into the same shit.

Thanks for any help.

Firstly, if it's taking you to the programs website, you don't want that, you should block the program from accessing the internet using Windows firewall. Create an inbound and outbound rule blocking the program. It's good practice to always do this with cracked programs, after install but before opening the program.

Secondly, look for a file with the type .NFO in the torrent files and open with a text editor like notepad (right click, open with, select notepad) and that file should have instructions from the cracker on how to install the program and crack properly

It would help if you mention which program your trying to install. Screenshots of the pop ups your talking about would also help me help you since I'm not sure I understand what your referring to exactly.

Let me know if you need anymore help

There wasn't an .nfo file but I did get it figured out. I started all over and got it working this time. Turns out that file just needed to be added to the program files and not ran. Really appreciate your help!
