Thanks for the conversion!

I'm using the italian version, have the game correctly installed, but when I launch the executable I can only choose "Install".

Perhaps there's some reg information missing?

Regarding the compression, I had to choose a stronger compress method than -m4 -s128m for the file data3.cab, as I had a few megabytes overflow.

[BAMsE]

There is config file among AppData files on C: that stores all data files (mods/addons)

[zyo]

There is config file among AppData files on C: that stores all data files (mods/addons)

Can anyone add that file in during the installation?

[Smurf Stomper]

add this:

[Files]
Source: .\plugins.txt; DestDir: {localappdata}\FalloutNV\; Flags: ignoreversion;

Also need this:
[Registry]
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\; Flags: uninsdeletekeyifempty
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV; ValueName: Installed Path; ValueType: string; ValueData: {app}\; Flags: uninsdeletekey

w/o the correct reg entry you'll get a world of errors trying to run this, as Zyo found out.

[zyo]

Someone remake the installer?

[pakrat2k2]

not hard to do yourself, just take the links smurf stomper posted, add it to iss file & \files folder then recompile it. It will make a new exe file that you can then use with the instructions from post 1

[zyo]

what iss should I use as a base?

[senseman]

i need to test italian version, i'll write a message about it later

[pakrat2k2]

what iss should I use as a base?

this is based on Yener's CI 8.01
http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=91563

you just need to edit the instalscript.iss add the file ( plugins.txt ) to source files, then add / correct the registry section all noted by Smurf Stomper. Compiled the script ( which will end up with new setup.exe, replace it in the dvd conversion file you d/l from post #1 )

Test the install/uninstall to make sure everythings correct.

[zyo]

doesnt work says installer could not find the necessary files and setup.exe is about 7MB bigger than the old one. Probably need senseman to fix that

[senseman]

@zyo

use new Attached Files...maybe work... Attachment updated..forgot to add GDFBinary= :p

@buddhabar
tested italian version..works for me..without any error etc...use new Attached Files...Attachment updated..forgot to add GDFBinary= :p

[zyo]

I can report it works fine now. thanks!

[buddhabar]

Same error as before here, I can only choose "Install", I've tried also on a clean virtual machine (WinXP).

[WankaWanka]

For Windows 7 x64 is necessary that the Installer can be in the 64-byte mode, because for the launch works must have the following registry entries:

ArchitecturesInstallIn64BitMode=x64

[Registry]
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\; Tasks: ; Languages: ; Flags: uninsdeletekeyifempty
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV\; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV\; ValueName: Installed Path; ValueType: string; ValueData: {app}\; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\; Flags: uninsdeletekeyifempty
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV\; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV\; ValueName: Installed Path; ValueType: string; ValueData: {app}\; Flags: uninsdeletekey

If the installer is 32-bit mode, the first 3 registers, are not included in the Windows registry.

[pakrat2k2]

NO... if you have 32 bit system it will place in software/beth... but in 64 bit system automatically add the necessary wow6432 structure no need to add the 3 additional lines.

[rashidrajkhan]

where this code can add....... please explain


add this:

[Files]
Source: .\plugins.txt; DestDir: {localappdata}\FalloutNV\; Flags: ignoreversion;

Also need this:
[Registry]
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\; Flags: uninsdeletekeyifempty
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV; ValueName: Installed Path; ValueType: string; ValueData: {app}\; Flags: uninsdeletekey

w/o the correct reg entry you'll get a world of errors trying to run this, as Zyo found out.

[pakrat2k2]

try reading WHOLE thread.. its already been explained what needs to be done.
hint post #11

EDIT

Just D/L new attachment the issue with plugins.txt has been fixed
works fine in W7X64, other then it says DeInstall rather then Uninstall
on Startmenu.

[senseman]

Same error as before here, I can only choose "Install", I've tried also on a clean virtual machine (WinXP).

it's maybe because you're using virtual machine, try the normal OS
tested works win7 x64 SP1

[buddhabar]

What I was trying to say is that I've tested both in my native OS (Win7 64) and a virtual machine (WinXP 32) and the result is the same:

[pakrat2k2]

double check your registry for HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks & remove anything related to it, BEFORE trying to reinstall then play from dvd5 version. It should then say PLAY once installed from dvd5 version, If it doesnt then the initial script has an error.

[buddhabar]

Thanks for the hints, I've just tried but it doesn't work, and the virtual machine reset its state after each use, ie it's always clean as the first use.

senseman conversion
missing Registry FalloutNV\Installed Path
and plugins.txt files

I created a new conversion. It worked for me. Win7 x64
1. download attachment 'FNVUE_2DVD'
2. extract
3. move 'Data1.cab,Data2.cab' files and 'Redists' folder form previous conversion to 'DVD1' Folder or make new following senseman conversion
4. move 'Data3.cab' form previous conversion to 'DVD1' Folder or make new following senseman conversion
5. Burn or make iso with any label names
6. test and report :D

sorry for my bad english

[pakrat2k2]

senseman conversion
missing Registry FalloutNV\Installed Path
and plugins.txt files

sorry for my bad english

IF you look in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\AppData\Local\FalloutNV

you WILL ONLY see plugins.txt ONCE you start the game & select from start menu data and choose to add the DLC. Then it shows up otherwise it doesnt.

PLAY works as it should once installed from DVD5 conversion.
See screenshot #1

Registry entries are there Screenshot #2

Those who didnt get it working are doing something wrong. It works as orginally posted, use correct version for your language choice.

[buddhabar]

I don't know what I did wrong with senseman conversion, but with artdekdok's installer I can play now.
Can anyone with the italian version of FNV confirm this?

[Kamyk95]

Will it work with MULTI3 version (English, Polish, Czech)?

[pakrat2k2]

it will owrk with any version as it converts to 1 lang only.

[Lorentz82]

Thanks for job senseman but conversion ES-IT don't work.

My system is Windows 7 x64 IT.

Pretty much from what I could see the installation does not create the key FalloutNV, you can do something about it? :)

I attach screenshoot of registry ;)

http://s3.postimg.org/g12kf4la7/2vn91.jpg (http://postimg.org/image/g12kf4la7/)

Ah I forgot, when I created the data3.cab I had to do the compression -m9x-ld192m-s256m to be within the size of the DVD5. Does it matter? :)
