Any plan to include the high res textual pack? I think a higher compression rate should do.

zyo it makes no sense, because there is another conversion by peterf1999 and it fills DVD5 to the brim:

Even if I removed the duplicated textures by repacking bsa it would't fit DVD5 again

no I mean 2XDVD5 not single.
I manage to pack all the files in 2DVD5 without m0 compression but the installer seem to stuck at dvd2 installation

zyo you probably messed up with cab files. Please edit setup.ini and set correct disc number for each cab file you've created. Also remember to set destination path for files from new cabs

Would you be able to have a look? There are only 4 additional files in the Data folder so I rearranged them to fit 2XDVD5, the structure remains the same.

Problem is for some reason the installation goes fine for 2mins then stuck halfway through a large file.

Edit: its still 2 cab files with the same structure

Hello there,

How is it possible extract 2 or more bin files using Inno ? and where section need I to put the code ? [Files] section ?

zyo you mean you still have data1.cab on 1st, and data2.cab + data3.cab on 2nd DVD? If yes, try to prepare cabs once again.

mhcvel I don't know what type of archive is your bin file. This script supports freearc, rar and zip archives. if this bin is one of them, you may use yener90's Custom Installer. Archives to unpack are listed in [ExtractSettings] section of setup.ini

yeap thats correct, only contents of data1.cab and data2.cab has been rearranged (but they still have all the files under Data folder) with m0 compression.

I have tried compressing them a couple of times but the installer still gets stuck. gonna try again later today.

zyo did you use another than -mx -ld800m method? I've noticed this script (or maybe freearc?) doesn't like huge files/lot-of-files arhives packed with some method (unfortunately i don't remember which one was that). Try another "safe" compression, i.e. -m0 or maybe prepare more smaller cabs and test.

Yeap Im sure it has something to do with the size of the cab files. I have used -m0 on both cab files and data2 alway stuck at the end of installation process.

zyo let me see your setup.ini as well as your file structure on both DVDs

I didnt change anything in the setup.ini (Do I need to?)
in data1.cab

data2.cab

zyo I mean file structure on each DVD/iso not in cab file. And where is data3.cab?

disc1

disc2

The structures are the same I blieve

I have no idea what is wrong :confused: If I were you I'd try to repack data2.cab and data3.cab to i.e. 4 smaller ones or even try to compress texture packs into separate cabs. If you prepare more cabs remember to edit setup.ini and list them.

I repacked the files into 7 smaller cabs and it still hangs on disc 2

This install is quite buggy tbh...if there is anyway to do an innosetup that will be much better.

peterf did an inno conversion as well but it uses inno/freearc/precomp/srep to all fit on 1 dvd5 just look down a few posts & you'll find it.

I dont think with high res pack it will fit 1DVD5 anymore (they are 2GB in size alone)

OK. Maybe give some extra info:
- it gives you some error message or it just stops and won't go further?
- it's happening always at the same position? always the same files are unpacked?
- is it unpacking whole archive (and stucks on proceeding to the next one) or only part of it?

always the same position about 95% of the installation
there is no error message, whole thing just stopped, Im installing it from a SSD mounted with daemontools for testing and the harddrive is not active at that point.
I wouldnt know which archive it stopped at unfortunately likely to be middle of a large file write...

another thing is once it stopped I cant cancel the installation anymore it doesnt freeze but doesnt roll back either.

When it stops try [ALT] + [TAB] (or [ALT] + [CTRL] + [DEL] then run tasks manger) to return to desktop. Go to installation folder and compare its files with cab archives. You'd know which file/archive makes problem. Another advice is to disable data3.cab in setup.ini by typing ";" in front of its line and test.

Actually, wrong, wrong, wrong. I checked that myself.

See... the thing is, that EVERY Steam-activated game CAN be entirely downloaded off Steam with skipping the use of the DVD altogether. What matters is the key. Always.

I had an issue with FEAR 2 when I bought it. The second DVD wouldn't get read by the drive. So what I did was just activate the key and let Steam download the game in whole instead of just updating.

Of course steam backup feature would work on Skyrim. Either way, it's always installed to SteamApps -- if it's a Steam-activated game (which it is), it MUST be installed to SteamApps.

In short, using the retail DVD is only a shortcut so that Steam doesn't have to download the entire game -- it will only update it. But for reinstalling, you can either use a retail DVD, a Steam backup or just redownload the game via Steam.

Just wanted to give you a shout that this'll safely work with the HD textures and Dawnguard DLC (the latter having been released yesterday on Steam). It's just going to be noticeably bigger then!

Can you tell what filles do you placed in data1.cab and data2.cab to fit 2 dvd 5? and what compression?

Where is the game in control panel?

File:

Well done this as done other versions too and all same work convo everything fine, but when install all I'm getting is a data folder and the Uninstall icon in game folder and nothing else and done couple times to be sure as well ??
