I tried to convert it to 2 cabs (2 disks) using ISCAB 15.0.0.498, but the game uses 16.0.0.400 and when I switch to disk2 I get CRC error to all the files. where is the problem, in using different iscab versions?
Try to change CheckMD5=Y entry to CheckMD5=N in setup.ini
If it still doesn't work, the cabs are damaged

is exactly the same!
I do not know why it does not extract the file frearc automatically!
Do you have a bad previous installation?
open regedit and then delete the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ubisoft\Prince of Persia - The Forgotten Sands
delete the following folder:
Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\EAEAAF8C-8E86-4CAC-AC08-1A33EDCA34AC
and retry
Conversion tested, works 1000000000000% :D
Thanks once again!!! :)

I've tried all ways!
I think I'll compress it again, who knows if it's not a bug!
if it fails again, the way I do it manually to decompress the file frearc!
you have more suggestions of what can be?
Try this:
1) Extract & overwrite POP_TFS.7z contents to DVD's root
2) Delete IS.exe
3) Convert archive to SFX and rename it to POP_TFS_arc.exe

it worked now!
was because I had put the option make.exe,
I then compress it again without this option and it worked!
Thank you for everything
Perfectly functional. Thanks, great job!

Yes, peter what is the IS+sound?
inno setup extractor with new background image & music while installing
Should we use it? Yes, no? When?

peter, is it possible only english dvd5 (no compression)?
No,the files of others languages are only ~ 80 mb
thanks

Sorry to bump this old thread, but could somebody please tell me where is my ARC file in Windows Explorer ?
http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/5132/whereisit.jpg
How can I move it ?
It is the first time this has ever happened to me, but it was also the first time I tried to do it on Windows 7.
Do I have to do it again ? I would think that it would work better on desktop.
I have tried to see hidden files, but its just not there ...

I recommend that you use a proper file manager like FAR Manager or Total Commander; those programs don't take the user for stupid.

First off NEVER have the file your creating in the same folder where your compressing with freearc. Put it in the root of the drive, or on another harddrive partition.

Whoops, I'll try to remember that tip.
By the way, do I need freearc to install this game then, too ?
I haven't needed it so far when I've had to used freearc, but then I had to create .exe file, not .arc file and I don't know how Windows will handle it.
