How did you dealt with UWP shanenigans aka installing, uninstalling and desktop shortcut?

[GTX590]

I have already asked prudislav & Kaktor about UWP games and how to make CIU compatible with them!!!
Maybe Gupta can do something with his [GSERIES] Custom Installer Ultimate V2g.

[KaktoR]

I have already asked prudislav & Kaktor about UWP games and how to make CIU compatible with them!!!

Yes and i have ask you if it works or not (reply from yesterday). Nothing came back :)

[GTX590]

You are right Kaktor, I completely forgot. Sorry about that.
I have tested, and compiled the setup.exe with your .iss but stll the same problem, nothing happens after the game is installed. I got 2 shortcuts in both desktop and start menu.
Zoo Tycoon doesn't launch from both shortcuts.:(

[KaktoR]

Installing and icon creation works now. For uninstall i have to figure out script part where uninstall starts/ends. Expect it tomorrow maybe.

[GTX590]

Guys, Conversion needs to be updated.
Will upload it as soon as possible!

[GTX590]

OK everybody, new conversion posted.
For more info read first post.
Remember to give me feedback!!

[prudislav]

-There no need for desktop shortcut. Game can only be launched from start menu where you will find Gears of War 4.
Can you do modified setup that creates desktop shortcut to the launcher GoW4_Launcher.exe (slightly modified version of V2 i posted in the UWP thread)?

[GTX590]

Where do I have to put that file?

[Danziel123]

Thank you for conversion.
Working 100% xxxxx

For me it produce 29 dvd5 from 124 gb.

Sorry for my bad english:D

not post warez :o

but 29 dvd to more can choose other compression ?

what compression best

[KaktoR]

Use game file scanner

[KaktoR]

I just saw this game is using unreal engine, so game file scanner is useless on this i guess.

I can't test, so test with uelr instead (pick some files from this game instead of testing whole game).

PS: Or just use this to scan http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=99997

[segagoduruguay]

hi theres a way to run on win 7??????

[vollachr]

hi theres a way to run on win 7??????

Did you even read the game's System Requirements? It's widely available all over the internet.

The game itself only support Windows 10 64bit, so no, you can't run it on Windows 7.

[josesango]

I got 10 dvd-dl, with lzma + srep.
The installation works fine, but does not create an icon in the start menu

[GTX590]

In Winwdows 10 start menu icons are put in an alphabetical order.
So check again under G for Gears of War 4.
I personally tested and shortcut is created under start menu.

[josesango]

I can find the launcher for Gears of War4
I reinstalling the game and only shows:

[GTX590]

Nobody reported that issue.
Will test later!!

[wit]

Nobody reported that issue.
Will test later!!

now i test conversation another game from kaktor and then finish i test sure

thank gtx 590 cheer

[KaktoR]

I don't have the game, but tell me:
"appxmanifest.xml" should be in root ({app}) folder. If not, a slightly script editing is needed.

It's because "UniUWP_Install.exe" must be in same folder where "appxmanifest.xml" is located after install is finished.

[GTX590]

Tested installation and it works perfectly. Game launched from start menu and played for almost 1 hour.
I confirm that appxmanifest.xml is in game folder.
Same thing for:
UniUWP_Install.exe
UniUWP_Launcher V2.exe
UniUWP_UnInstall.exe
All in!!
josesango, have you changed install directory?
UWP game should always install in:
C:\Users\username\UniversalApps

[KaktoR]

Maybe i could change that too (not possible to change installdir).

I don't know if it's useful?

[josesango]

Yes, i change the intall directory, i dont have space in c:

[GTX590]

That causes the game not to work!
Game should be installed only in C drive in:
C:\Users\username\UniversalApps

[KaktoR]

No, not should. UWP games MUST be installed to systemdrive!

Another reason why i don't buy games from winstore :rolleyes:

[josesango]

No, not should. UWP games MUST be installed to systemdrive!

Another reason why i don't buy games from winstore :rolleyes:

I installed another game Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection on drive d:,
and the installer created the icon in the start menu and can run the game from drive d:

[pakrat2k2]

That causes the game not to work!
Game should be installed only in C drive in:
C:\Users\username\UniversalApps


nope wrong at least not for Zoo Tycoon Ultimate ( UWP ) , installed it to D:\
& it runs perfectly fine there too. So will test GOW4 conversion after it
finishes compression & i reinstall it from conversion.

[wit]

my version size 124 gb test install perfect icon on start menu

thank you gtx 590

[josesango]

i redid the conversion and now is working fine.
I have the icon on start menu
Remenber to enabled "developer mode"

[pakrat2k2]

developer mode seems to be needed for all UWP games.

[splitdvd9todvd5]

Anyone Have tried MASK Compression?

[GTX590]

Anyone Have tried MASK Compression?

With srep+lzma you'll get 18xDVD5!!
So, what's the problem?

[KaktoR]

Anyone Have tried MASK Compression?

Don't waste your time.

Only file which has any streams is "pakchunk1-UWP.pak" (147mb).

I was thinking to add this to script, so it can be applied automatically if user has not changed it before.

[calvin24]

I installed on my E:Games drive and works fine for me so no problem with that, will do conversion and see if ok as well once done it.

[The_Killer]

I used setup with diskspan and COMPMETHD = 0, but the error at install time.

[KaktoR]

What error? screenshot maybe?

Gears of War 4 CIUv2 v2.0.3.9 U10 (UWP) & CIUv2 v2.0.3.9 U14.0 (2018-07-27) HELP ABOUT COMPATIBILITY HELP PLEASE

[The_Killer]

friends I know the game is old but only now I could do the conversion, but when I install of this error.

[Fabioddq]

diskspan and compression method 0 (COMPMETHD=0)

How to make a version for diskspan?

The Setup.exe was compiled with CIU v2.0.3.9 U10. Is not compatible with DiskSpan, i think... i'm not for sure, but need U15 or higher.
The msg in russian appear even if you install the game in pt-br?

on the diskspan I know it does not work because of the version, so I used the ultraarc and this error message is in the installation even using pt-br

[masen485]

Update the setup.exe
The setup.exe didn't support diskpan

[GTX590]

I'm actually working with CIUv3 but I'm still having issues whith this latter.
With CIUv3 install works fine but unistall no. I'm having an error message when clicking on uninstall button.
Runtime Error (at 510:2343)
Internal error: Unknown constant "sendto"
A second error message when exiting Unistaller:
Runtime Error (at 933:2148)
Could not call proc.
Can somene tell me if this is correct to use with Gears of War 4 (UWP game)?

[UWPGame]

Thanks in advance!!

[KaktoR]

Why {src}`? The file should be in {app}?

[GTX590]

Still not working!!
Game is not activated after installation!
CIUv3 needs to be improved for UWP games!!

[KaktoR]

Did you have set the correct path for Manifest1?

- Added internally in CIU code script functions for use in UWP games.
>> These functions are used to register the game, create shortcuts on the desktop, remove game registration and play games from the Play button.
>> In UWP games a "UWP_REGISTER.bat" file will be created in the game's installation folder (Do not Delete).
This file will allow you to register the game again without having to reinstall (If accidentally uninstalled through the start menu icon),
it also stores information to remove the shortcuts during uninstallation. Without it the desktop shortcut files will not be removed when uninstalling.

- Added new section [UWPGame] with keys Manifest#= o inform al manifest to registry
>> if Manifest1= is different from empty, the UWPGame mode will be automatically activated.

- Added new key ManifestID= in [Executable#] to inform the ID referring to the manifest file. (Value is integer)
>> Example: ManifestID=1 or ManifestID=2 // In examples 1 and 2 refer to the manifest file registered in the [UWPGame] section to create shortcut and set game to run in Play button.
>> To UWP games (Only to UWP Games) in [Executable#] section set Name=ORIGINAL to create shortcut with original UWP game name.
>> To UWP Games keys ExePath=, Exe=, ExePath64 and Exe64= in [Executable#] section not is necessary.
>> PS: Play butons in games UWP, if game not registred, register before run game.

[GTX590]

I've read that section but still not working.
At the end of install game is not activated!!

[pakrat2k2]

just as an FYI there is also a non UWP version as well for this too.

[zirkhaki]

So, is it possible to have a Diskspan version?
I tried to make one but I couldn't. I read the related topic but only I get confused.
I could decompress the game and enabled developer mode with registry keys, but the game Icon had not appeared in start menu

As I said before, I tested CIUV3.0.0 with GoW4 but game is not activated but installed correctly with DiskSpan.
UWP_REGISTER.bat created in Game root folder doesn't activate the game. It says Error access denied (in cmd window).

[zirkhaki]

Maybe CIUV3 is not well tested with UWP.


Did you try it with CIUv2 v2.0.3.9 U15.2?

[KaktoR]

It is tested and it works (I have already sent information to him)

[GTX590]

Updated conversion to CIUv3.0.0 + DiskSpan!!

[masen485]

Firstly, thank you for your quick reply...
Do you know the old setup update if I say a few game names?

[zirkhaki]

thanks for the updated version.
just a question!
Did you add the registry option to enable Developer mode automatically? you know if we don not enable it, this game won't install properly.
as Simorq said, if you add this to Registry.iss, developer mode will be enabled after installation:

Root: HKLM; Subkey: "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel Unlock"; ValueName: "AllowAllTrustedApps"; ValueType: Dword; ValueData: "$1"; MinVersion: 0.0,5.0; Flags: uninsdeletevalue uninsdeletekeyifempty

[GTX590]

Conversion updated again with reg keys to enable Dev mode in Windows 10!!
Thanks zirkhaki!!

[KaktoR]

For this you could also use "Setup Patch Maker". Patch would be just a few bytes in size :D

[masen485]

Setup Patch Maker Where can I find it?
Setup Patch Maker How do I use it?

No additional key is needed in the registry using CIU v3.
I recommend not adding these keys because you will be changing the user settings permanently without even informing about the change.

CIU v3 makes a backup of the devolper mode settings of your system before installing the UWP games, then switches to devolper mode and finally after install restores the previous backup settings.
