not enough room on the HD ?

Peter, please I'd like to request a non-inno conversion of the same, a dvd9 to 2 dvd5s, which looks & installs just like my original. I'm not very keen about the inno setups.
Hope you can help me out here, thanks

How much free space is needed during installation?

yes but the instructions tells

"Launch FreeArc and then 'compress' the following files in the Game's installation folder:"

but if the files are in te Data folder the instruction can be cause confusion...anyway now I know that the file are correct in data folder, I proceed with the conversion, thank you

Work fine. Great job. Installation is fast, absolutly not 1 hour, on i7 920 and 6 gb RAM take about 15 min
EDIT : unistall don't work for me, return this error :
"Runtime error (at -1:0):
Cannot import dll: C:\program files (x86)\the elder scroll V - skyrim\firewallinstallhelper.dll"

This path is the installation folder of my previous installation

How to use =Precomp and SuperRep=?

The two did not work.
Run the file, a screen appears but clears quickly.
And nothing happens.
Help me out.

Works. Cheers.

Open cmd. Drag&Drop srep or precomp into cmd. add the arguments. When the previous file is required, drag&drop that too.

Example precomp038 -slow -c6 -m8 -oData1 Data1.bin

The underlined items you need to drag & drop in cmd, or manually add the path to the required file.

they do work, but make a batch file in EACH of the subfolders ( precomp & Srep) do step #3 with freearc then move the Data1.bin to precomp folder, run the batch file, when that completes, move the completed file to the srep folder, run the batch file. And when thats done compress the completed file again with freearc.

for precomp batch file:

for srep batch file:

yes, its alot of steps but it ONLY works with original game with NONE of the updates installed.

peterf1999 - How can I translate the Autorun and the rest (like in The Witcher 2 conversion) to Polish?

Are you read this post? :D

you cant because peter' wont share the source he uses for this installer. The only language choices are selectable in the top right corner, if memory serves me right polish wasnt there. You can make your own using witcher2 as a starting point, you.ll need your own images, registry entries, list goes on & on.

Hello.
I have a problem when I run the game. After installing the game, the characters do not say anything and the game is in English. I tried to change the language in the ini file in the folder \My Games\Skyrim, and also in the registry, but it's not work. Can I fix it?

P.S. Conversion was made on the Polish version of the game.

if you'd have read thru the whole topic, youd have known that you CANT USE this conversion for the polish version of skyrim!! Read 1 post above yours.

You' re right. I won't convert the game then.

you can make a conversion for it using another source(s) from here, and then just change the images, reg entries etc for your version of the game.. takes a bit of work but worth it in the end.

this also include:
'DirectX10' folder
'VCRedist' folder

which is already in the TESV_DVD5?

no you move those folders from installed game folder into tesv_dvd5 folder.

ahh... nvm. i included them, but it still works fine

Worked fine
 

It works perfectly, I had some difficulties like not being sure if it was the folder or not and had to re-compress Data2.bin because of CRC failure (maybe because of OC E8400@4ghz).
I have used a fresh installed game with 1.3.10 patch installed with a no-dvd fix and the final ISO was 3.88gb, very impressive, took ~15min to install.

Autorun.inf error?
 

Hello :D, autorum.inf doesn't work and gives me an error. It only works if I run autorun.exe file directly. Any solution?

This is the code contained in the file I have:

[autorun]
open = Autorun.exe
icon = Autorun.exe, 0
label = The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Thanks, sorry for my bad english. :p

change icon = Autorun.exe & label = The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim

error caused by :

Thx, now works fine.

Works great ;] 3.94GB witch Update v1.4.21.0.4

Hello peterf1999 I ask the script to make these autorun, I do not know how do you get them you're a big hello and thank you for the work you do for us all.

does anyone have the script of the autorun?? I would like to add the polish version of the autorun menu.

no not available, peter doesnt share the source for this type of installer.

so other question... does anyone know how to create such an autorun launcher?? (not the setup but the autorun menu)

go grab the witcher2 inno files, in there is the autorun.iss script which is used in combination with the game iss script file, that displays the autorun screens.

Thanks, I didn't think of that...

Hello everyone!
How to precompress data1.bin do I need a separate program to precompress data1.bin?
I'm stuck on that step :( Is it a cmd command or a program?

Thanks in advance ^_^

Sorry I'm new when it comes to compression :(

goto peters fallout conversion topic & get the precomp-srep from it, seperate download at bottom of first post, then follow the conversion for this one. ( assumes you already have freearc installed in your system )

http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=91837

How do I use it? When I run on the precomp038.exe and srep.exe it will pop in a sec and disappears.
I dont know how to use those two programs :(
Can you teach me in step by step? please :(

Thanks in advance ^_^

seee step #3 the command is there for precomp & srep. make a bat file for each command in a seperate folder with the program & freearch file.

I am quite a newbie on FreeArc and I don't know how to use it. I have FreeArc 0.666 installed on my PC but i don't know how to "compress" the files on the instructions.

I tried to but every time I test my created ISO file, the autorun pops up but "PLAY" option appears instead of the "INSTALL" option and the rest of the options doesn't work if i click on them.

I hope somebody could help me with this problem. Thanks.

you've done the conversion from an already installed game ( DVD9 ) uninstall that before testing out DVD5 version... thats why it says play instead of install !!

Yes, i uninstalled it already before trying to install from a dvd5 sir however i didn't delete the "Skyrim" folder from the "My Games" directory. I'm still going to try it out. But, does this matter?

I also doubt if i compressed the files right using freearc because I didn't see any "compress" option in freearc.

the skyrim folder in my games should be your save & config for the game, you dont want to delete that unless you want to start all over again.

as for freearc once you've chosen what files you want to add to archive a box comes up and asks where you want to save. etc. down a few lines is compression.. see screenshot

EDIT

But re-read Step#3 as it tells you what compression to use --> m0 as your going to further use precomp & srep on those archives.

I was able to follow the instructions correctly sir. I uninstalled the game before trying to install from the dvd5 image but still when i load the image using daemon tools, in the Autorun, "Play" option appears instead of "Install" and the other buttons doesn't work. If i click one of them, the autorun closes.

Am I the only one encountering this problem?

PS.
Thanks for your time and effort in helping me out with this sir pakrat. Very much appreciated.

did you use the 'fixed' autorun from post #17 & original archive from post #1 ?

also check post #11 to double check reg entries ( make sure they were removed from uninstalling original game in your registry, to make sure nothing was left behind there? )

Thank you so much sir pakrat, the reg entries were the sole problem. After I deleted them, Install option appeared already and I am able to install the game from the dvd5 now.
