[DonHomerone]

This custom installer Works with any L.A.Noire installation and no matter what patches and stuff you add. The final size will change on what you add.

01- Download the attachment and extract it to any folder (This case D:\TEMP will be used)

02- Install the game

03- Apply any updates, DLCs, NO-CD Crack or whatever you want

04- Copy the "ISSetupPrerequisites" folder from disk 1 to your game installation folder

05- Delete the following files from copied "ISSetupPrerequisites" folder:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.prq
Microsoft DirectX Redist (June 2010).prq
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86).prq
Rockstar Games Social Club.prq

{46066852-8450-4988-9E2F-47C7A8A84C7E} >>> Social Club

07- With INNO Setup installed, double click on L.A.Noire.iss
(Try to use latest version of ANSI Release to avoid problems)

08- Edit the first line and change the red part to your game installation path. BE SURE TO KEEP THE "\" OR IT WONT WORK!!
#define SourcePath "D:\Games\L.A.Noire\"

09- Hit the compile button and wait for a couple of hours (dependng on your system) to complete

NOTE: Screenshots are in spanish and without texts coz I like it that way, whole installer is multi language and texts are taken from your INNO Setup installation so you're done.

Optionally you can use Social Club v1.0.5.0 Setup.exe instead the one on the disk, but be sure to place it on the same folder and with the same name and you're all set


Version 1.0: First release (215 downloads)

Version 2.0:
- Fixed source path for LANoireEFIGS.ini file (Thnxs mroussev for pointing it out)
- Changed wizard background image to make UI a lil bit cleaner. (A small change that maybe you dont even notice)

Version 3.0:
- Fixed Autorun buttons when it's already installed. (Thnxs LeChuck2011 for reporting it)

Version 4.0:
- Fix for bad formed registry keys read. Sorry my bad.
- Test crap removed. Once again. sorry, my bad

change value data to 0 or you wont be able to uninstall social club after unisntallation of the game.

[pakrat2k2]

Nice job, tested on W7X64, havent come across any issues yet ;)

EDIT:

Did come across an issue where the source for the LANoireEFIGS.ini is located.

You have:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini

where under W7X64 its located "{commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini " which means C:\ProgramData\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini.

[mroussev]

There is a tiny error on code.This:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini

must be changed to this

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini

otherwise it gives error that cant find .ini file.

[DonHomerone]

Tested with a clean install from original disks on my laptop and the file goes on

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire

just like it's on my script... maybe you should check it again...

[DonHomerone]

I actually noticed one thing... both paths are the same... just entered to one of them made a new txt file then pasted the other path on the address bar and opened the other location with the same txt I've made previously, so one way or the other it's ok do your own tests and you'll see

[pakrat2k2]

the line in the script under source:

Source:"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini"; DestDir: "{commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\"; Flags: IgnoreVersion;

The FRONT part is incorrect.. if it was Source:"{commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini";DestDir: "{commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\"; Flags: IgnoreVersion;

then it would be correct. I dont have a LANoireEFIGS.ini in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire, under W7X64. But I DO have one under
C:\ProgramData\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire.

[DonHomerone]

Well I have them both, and like I said on previous post, if I create a txt file on one path and have it on the other path too, but it's maybe my case.

Maybe has something to do with the fact I'm using the built-in Admin account which comes with the system. (Win7X64, btw) who knows...

But once again, both folders are the same in my case, I put one new file on one of them and I have the same file on the other one

I think we except: Microsoft DirectX, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 => Fix 3xDVD5

[DonHomerone]

I think we except: Microsoft DirectX, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 => Fix 3xDVD5

Well... in my case I have included the 1.0.2396 update + a couple of DLCs so, I don't care about going up to 4DVD5 lol

[pakrat2k2]

DO NOT extract the attatchment into your gamefolder EVER. Just make a new folder on your HD where you have lots of room. ( The poster said he used d:\TEMP )
To extract the file you will need 7-zip ( 7z extension )

then follow the rest of the instructions. :)

[phill05]

Why the Tiger.cjsytles file is installed to game dir?

[mroussev]

Tested with a clean install from original disks on my laptop and the file goes on

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire

just like it's on my script... maybe you should check it again...

I check it and on my pc is under \All Users\Application Data\Rockstar Games\ .But i use XP,maybe on win7 it is in \All Users\Rockstar Games\.After fixing the script like i said conversion continue normal.

[DonHomerone]

Updated script, read changelog... no big changes if it worked for you before

[igivk]

Do i need to copy "ISSetupPrerequisites" folder to installed game directory or to "Compiled\Disk1" folder? Please help !

[pakrat2k2]

Copy the "ISSetupPrerequisites" folder from disk 1 to your game installation folder, after you've renamed them like the instructions say ;)

the second image shows that you have a *" where you should actually have in line 1 of the script.

#define SourcePath "G:\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\"

NOTICE THE \" it MUST BE THERE !! or you'll end up with error just like screenshot #2.

[houdaifas]

Ok IS GOOD NOW
I MISS "\"
:s THANKS pakrat2k2

[TippeX]

heh such truth in that statement

esp when i do some c code with paths and forget \ should be \\ etc... spend some time debugging and then you see it

[Fabioddq]

Works perfectly.
Tested in Win7 64Bits.
Thanks for the conversion!

[LeChuck2011]

Important bug.
If by chance you have installed a repack of the need for speed the run, the autorun does not work until you uninstall.
I've been checking the. Iss autorun and I see many fields for the nfs the run and not to the noire.
Greetings.
Pardon my English, translated.

Yeah I noticed that, seems like I mixed files badly... I was working on a fix for that at home but time came up and had to head to work again so had to stop working on it for the moment... will take a look at that when I get home...

[gamezonex]

04- Copy the "ISSetupPrerequisites" folder from disk 1 to your game installation folder

the size of "Disk 1" 4,65GB..:confused:

not enough space to dvd5.

Setup-4a.bin??? 4 DVD???

[silviugut]

The conversion works perfectly for me on win 7x32 bits, but I had a little problem, after i converted and i installed the game in my system, the game did not create a desktop shortcut LANoire exe. , created shortcut LANLauncher exe. and if you run the LANLauncher exe.it says it can not find the LANoire exe.! After I deleted the shortcut created by installing the game and created my shortcut of LANoire exe. game worked perfectly! I did something wrong or has someone the same problem as me! Anyway you did a good job!

[d00m3d]

Same problem. LANLauncher complains it can't find the exe. But running the exe directly launches the game.

I think there's some registry entry missing, which is the reason the launcher can't find the game's exe..

[pakrat2k2]

easy fix change the ISS script for desktop shortcut to LANoire.exe instead of LANLauncher.exe

[haazmaaz]

Same problem. LANLauncher complains it can't find the exe. But running the exe directly launches the game.

cuz registry missing

Well that's pretty weird. since I used the 4.0 version to make my conversion and had no problems with it, maybe something you changed? LANLauncher is the one used by original game to load the game since it lets you config a couple of things, including language but the game can be directly launched from LAnoire.exe too but no config options...

[javieracdc]

Hey what about the DLC??
because if you install the all DLC it is around 1.5Gb plus....Then it would be 4dvd5

How can i make these conversion adding more files?

[pakrat2k2]

just follow th same steps.. it uses your installed game files, doesnt care whats there or not. The additional 1.5GB for the DLC, will just increase the number of disks it will take when finished.

[DonHomerone]

and if you go for 4DVD5 for including DLCs like I did, you should think about changing the compression line from

Compression=LZMA2/Ultra
to
Compression=zip/1

Will increase the final size a lil bit 50-100MB but whole conversion process and the installer itself will be a lot faster

[persiastore]

How can I convert to 4 disk without changing its original Setup ?

[pakrat2k2]

you cant because it uses installshield & they've packed it a certain way, and it cant be changed.

[zyo]

Root: HKLM; Subkey: "SOFTWARE\Rockstar Games"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "Installed Applications"; ValueData: "1"; Flags: uninsdeletekeyifempty

change value data to 0 or you wont be able to uninstall social club after unisntallation of the game.

[Munying]

Need help....

I've tried any convertion like COD MW3, NFS The Run and This LA Noire. Stuck in Not Responding about executing Inno Setup's Compiler

Its' that normal? or because i've been waiting for an hour there is no respond for converting progress.

Why? please help me....

[DonHomerone]

it happens sometimes depending on the system... whne you get a not responding windows switch with alt+tab to an explorer windows and check the compiled folder, if you see there is activity leave it alone... sometimes takes more than 3 hours to finish once it finishes you'll get the conversion done...

[alexandr frei]

no english language bro for the conversion ?

[pakrat2k2]

conversion works on ANY version/language that you installed the game in. part of the process is usig your installed game files, and yes english is included :)

read the whole post #1....

"NOTE: Screenshots are in spanish and without texts coz I like it that way, whole installer is multi language and texts are taken from your INNO Setup installation so you're done."

[cindos]

easy fix change the ISS script for desktop shortcut to LANoire.exe instead of LANLauncher.exe

You mean change #define MyAppExeName "LANLauncher.exe"?

Sorry for this amateur question.. :)

[DonHomerone]

You mean change #define MyAppExeName "LANLauncher.exe"?

Sorry for this amateur question.. :)

yes, that if you didn't make the conversion already and burned it or something...

[singularity]

Just finished compiling using script, but somehow last .bin file called Setup-4a.bin with size 248Mb.

So I got first three folders with size 4.5GB, and last only with 248Mb.

Is this normal? I don't mind a fourth iso, I added DLC as well just wondering how many .bin files are there?

I already updated the game before compiling.

[pakrat2k2]

you should have setup-1a.bin-seup-1c.bin & setup.exe autorun.inf, icon.ico ~ 4.33GB for dvd1. same but setup-2*.bin for dvd2, setup-3**.bin for dvd3 etc by lookiing at the ISS script.. ( 3 slicesperdisk... means 3 bin files )

DonHomerone, to get the autorun to work properly for those who want to insert dvd5 to re-launch game??? LOL

Fix the autorun.ISS and change each of the

RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire',
'InstallDir', appath) --> BOLD was Instal Path or installfolder etc... it needs to match the reg entry for the game.

Whatever the original installer uses, it has to be the same for the autorun.iss too.. :)

Make sure to read thru entire topic & make sure changes/corrections to BOTH ISS scripts has been done.

[Chompower]

Thank you very much DonHomerone! running on Windows 7 x 86 spanish...
In order that they execute without problems the installation of Rockstar Games Social club and other applications at the end of the installation of the game, I mark the box:

[pakrat2k2]

your welcome, I THINK i got all the corrections done, but just to be safe take the time & read thru topic & verify corrections have been completed.

[nerevarine]

Made conversion without any problems. Just check the install path and path to .ini file.
Also made a translation of Polish part into.. Polish :)
So i put attachment of script here, so anyone can dl it and replace :)
Thx DonHomerone for great work! If You want me to remove attach, just PM.

[pakrat2k2]

nerevarine, why remove it, if its for polish version of game? anyways good job ;)

[nerevarine]

Well, its just polish translation of small part of script ;)
Got a problem - after compilation the installer gives me an error:

Runtime Error (at 183.11781)
ExtractTemporaryFile: The file "BGI0_.bmp" was not found


Any suggestions? Good for me, that i dont burn this ;)

[pakrat2k2]

you missed the a number before the period.

the BGI0_4_3.bmp/ BGI0_16_9.bmp have to start at 0 & go up depending on how many pictures you want to display.

then in the code section:

bgicount= 6 the number corresponds to how many images you want to show. Dont count the BGI0_4_3 & BGI0_16_9 as 2 they are counted as 1. the code will display the proper image depending on pc's display.

[Igor007]

is there a registry fix for lanlauncher.exe not working?
