Borderlands Multi 5 (DVD9 to 2xDVD5)
Install sequence DVD1-DVD2-DVD1

1) Create temp folders

'BORDERLANDS_1'
'BORDERLANDS_2'

2) Copy DVD9 contents to 'BORDERLANDS_1'

3) Move Setup5.cab-Setup11.cab to 'BORDERLANDS_2'

4) Copy Borderlands.ico from 'BORDERLANDS_1' to 'BORDERLANDS_2'

5) Create autorun.inf in 'BORDERLANDS_2':

[autorun]
open=0
icon=Borderlands.ico

6) Extract 'Borderlands.7z' contents to 'BORDERLANDS_1'

7) Open MSIs files (one at a time) with orca or appeditor, import & replace all tables (Tables.7z) and then save overwriting the MSI file

1239

8) Burn or make ISOs with same labels name of temp folders

Note: Shortcut table for XP users, on Win 7 & Vista the game's installer doesn't use it
(However, even Win 7 & Vista users can use it if they want)

This game has the interesting and somewhat annoying copy protection feature of launching a check for the original dvd at the end of the install of the game, making a 2x dvd5 backup... difficult. Has anyone found a way to disable the launching of the little .exe file that contains the check, via editing the install file(s)? If so, could you share what you did? Thanks!

goto peter's conversion.. he has the fixed tables files that allow the cracked file to be installed during installation. You can look at his 'altered' tables files and see whats different in them from originals ( using orca ). If i remember correctly there is securom check in one of the tables.

have fun... its already been done for you by peter'

[rafaelmiglio]

Thankz peterf1999.
Works perfectly!

[peterf1999]

peterf1999 if you can tell me plz how to repack these installshield cabs?

[peterf1999]

there's a very simple way to avoid this without including the cracked exe as in peter's conversion. Open all msi files with Orca and go to the CustomAction table. Then set the type colum of the actions named RCDecrypt* from 3090 to 3154. This has the effect of ignoring the return code of the action and thus avoiding the main installer rollback even if the related SecuRom check is aborted by the user by hitting Cancel.

I've also split the iso into 2 DVD5 with the installation sequence being DVD1->DVD2 (no need to reinsert DVD1). I've just used SND's conversion but with setup12.cab in DVD2 and obviously modifying the MEDIA table and putting setup12.cab on the second disc.

If you remove those custom actions the game explorer's shortcut on vista/win 7 will not be created for current user/all users.
You will have to manually create a shortcut to launch the game... its not a good thing ;)

you're right, I didn't tested on Win7/Vista. But again there's a simple solution for that too: go in the InstallExecuteSequence table and navigate to the CreateShortcuts action and remove the condition "VersionNT<600" leaving it blank instead. In fact, the condition VersionNT<600 creates the shortcuts only if Windows is XP or lower. By removing it the shortcuts are always created. Tried and tested.

Hi I need to add a file to end of the installation "physxcudart_20.dll" or something like that.
Everytime i add it the installation works fine, but i won't uninstall the game. And if it uninstalls, then it doesn't remove any files. It just removes it from the installed programs list.

If anyone can please tell me what i'm doing wrong.

[pakrat2k2]

follow the instructions exactly... peter's conversions work perfectly... if you have mistake then start over again.. delete all in temp folder then start over again.. YOU have the error, so its a mistake on your end.

Read each line of the conversion, do each step. If your not 100% sure what to do, then come back & ask.. better to wait a bit, for a reply, than proceed and head in wrong direction.

[Fox22743]

Thanks pakrat for the reply. I remember the installation working fine b4. I think my nvidia drivers are messed up bcuz i had this problem with some other game as well.

Anyways i'm gonna use my old installation that i made some time back.

"physxcudart_20.dll" thats an issue with Physx Installation, update to newest Nvidia drivers, which should also update Physx too.

[Fox22743]

Yea I realized that. Anyways i was doing some other games and making cabs and editing msi files with orca and i see that they all come across the same problem. If i add anything in a cab file or i make my own cab file, then it installs it ok, but it wont delete the files or game folder when uninstalling. It just removes from the programs list.

I know i'm doing something wrong in the msi file, but i'm not sure wat. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me exactly which tables to edit and what to put in them.

@peterf1999: Thanks for the conversion, Tested and works on XP SP3.
Thanks for the great work.
