I'm doing the method dvd5, took 2 hours and still going for 10%, that's normal?

yes, also depends on PC's hardware, but it can take MANY hours. Best to start late at night, then when you get up in morning its done.

with updates for this game, running your batch file, i end up with data.cab @ 4.42GB... just as a test... not worth it, will stick with 2 dvd5's

I completed the 1xdvd5 method, after creating the Data.cab and put it in the folder SGW2_2xDVD5, now that it's done? and which is a compact version of dxsetup?

google dxwebsetup its only a few KB. OR delete all cab files from directx folder leaving only exe & dll

hi pakrat2k2 my data.cab is at 4.24gb.

You please put the independent 1xdvd5 2xdvd5 method, because things are mixed and no one knows what to do.

show screenshot showing layout of your data.cab, might be extra files/folders that should have been removed. Your instructions aren't very clear for some of the newer members, and can be too confusing to know what to do exactly. ( easy enough for those of us who've been doing them for awhile ).. thanks for posting as there are always those who want 1 dvd5 conversion, personally i use no compression as its always faster for installing.

here is my contents of the data.cab. and my installed size is 5.79 GB (6*224*070*580 bytes)

i see, you've neglected to mention that BOTH _CommonRedist & Redist folders need to be moved out before running bat file.

maybe go back to your initial post and add that information. will be helpful for those who want 1xdvd5

nice nice nice... tested and work on windows 7 32bit...
thanks. :D

is it working with the new dlc "siberian strike"?
