Grand Theft Auto IV The Complete Edition 6xDVD5 CIUV2

Thanks to Yener for script, Razor12911 for modifications

1. Install the game. Update game to latest version, apply NO-CD if necessary.

2. Download attachment, extract to HD, NOT in Gamefolder.

3. MOVE Directx from gamefolder to GTA_IV_6\Redist\DirectX folder. IF you don't have then copy from another game. Also move vcredist_x86.exe to GTA_IV_6\Redist folder.

4. Run UltraARC, Browse/Select Your installed game, then choose output location. ( Installed Game folder MUST be Main folder. )
IE: D:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV Complete Edition\

5. Test the conversion, before burning ISO.

6. Then burn folder contents to DVDs with same folder name.

DVD1 - 4.37GB
DVD2 - 4.37GB
...
DVD6 - 2.52GB with Redists

Did you delete Records.ini from the first DVD? If yes, that's the reason...

[robbos21]

ye that has gone as do that before install any conversions ;)

And Dvd's at these:

DVD1 - 5: 4.37GB

DVD6 - 3.46GB without Redists

Well, then... Nice job. You need to restore records.ini. Here's how to do that:

Open NotePad.
See how your files look like (the archives)

And then, just type stuff in.

For single archives, it looks like this:

[Record#] - where # is number of record
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\Data#.bin - where # is number of Data file
Output={app}
Disk=# - where # is number of disc the file is on

For PARTS of split archives it looks like this:

[Record#]
Type=Split
Source={src}\Data#x.bin - where # is number of Data file and x is letter of segment (can be a,b,c, depending on order)
Output={tmp}\Data#.bin - where # is number of data file
Disk=#

However after all of the parts of a given segmented archive are in Record, a separate entry is needed for the merged archive itself, in order for the installer to know that it needs to extract it.

[Record#]
Type=Freearc_Split
Source={tmp}\Data#.bin
Output={app}
Disk=#

Hope this helps.

Records.ini must be saved in the same directory that Setup.exe is in. GOOD LUCK!
