L.A. Noire 2DVD9 > 3DVD5 InnoSetup
 

Updated script!

tested and works on my windows 7 pc
thanks kranmer for spotting the missing regkeys
You need to install DirectX, .net 3.5 and VC++ which you can find in the original disc, I cant be bothered to put these into the script, the setup installs rockstar social club 1.0.5.0 automatically


open the script in innosetup, change outputdir to whatever you like, requires 13GB of space. Change Source: "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\*"; to whatever you installed your game to and compile.

after that you should get Setup 1a - Setup 3c in outputdir just pack each 3 into one disc in ultraiso

confirm not work at all, give u error when launch game zz.....

try READING thru ISS script & correct gamename appropriately ( ALL Locations.) THEN it may launch properly.

works fine for me. make sure you have social club installed (if its not installed automatically) also the usuals, directx,etc

hmm just tried again your right something is wrong it doesnt launch the game.

Windows App logs shows

thnx zyo but awaiting conversion type of Yener

Hi, i made custom installer too for this game and encountered the same as holyjoker. Cannot find which registry or file need changing, even with process monitor. Luckily found this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?05gjghhllw1waa5

It's like mini installer, if you installed the game using custom installer, run it with custom installation, point to installed LA Noire dir, uncheck all of 3 items, finish installation. Enjoy ;)

should have all these installed, I played the original one just fine (with or without crack)
I double checked the registry and its the same after the custom installer im not sure which part is wrong.

your missing the reg entrys for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rockstar Games\Rockstar Games Social Club

IF you use the crack files then your game foldername CANNOT contain ANY spaces.
it must be installed in IE: x:\RockstarGames\L.A.Noire\

CANNOT be x:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\ this has spaces in the path.

Making an INNO script for this would be a royal pain... too many pre-requisites that have to be installed beforehand.

I purposely missed the social club reg key because its automatically installed at the end of game installation. (I double checked the reg key is there after the installation)
another thing is rockstar games reg key actually registers how many games are installed and this prevents social club from being uninstalled if the counter is not 0. (so the best approach is to increment that counter with script but I really cant be bothered)

I will try again without the spaces, but from where I see the game runs fine with the space with crack (original installation).

Don't work, can't launch game (W7 32bits)

Work fine after with choris_figaro's mini installer !

Can Any One Give Setup convert Files 4DVD Or 3DVD it's Easy Way I cant understand

thanks :)

i Compiled with this iss and install the game when open the game show this error [The game has stop working....].but when i install orginal setup the game is open and i can play it.

waiting Custom Repack

Confirmed: NOT WORKING.

Damn ! any help for this Conversion Repack ??

Confirmed Not Working,
I have been looking into this myself and i think i have found why it isn't working, It appears a few registry entries and 1 file are missing from your script that are needed to run the game.
so far i have only tested this myself so if anyone else could test it i would appreciate it.
Add these lines to Zyo's Inno Script
under [FILES] add the line (the source in this line will need to be edited to where your LANoireEFIGS.ini is)
and under [Registry] add
And that should fix the game not booting (atleast it did for me), anyone who can test it and give feedback i would really appreciate it.

could you tell me how split it in 4xdvd5 using your installer?
Thank you

you shouldnt need the other reg keys that ini in document folder should be the only one missing

will try another one and make a new script later tonight.

ONE of the BIGGEST issues is that people dont follow even basic games install instructions. Making sure that all pre-requisites are installed BEFORE installing the game itself. That in itself is going to be a pain to verify that they exists on system BEFORE installing game files.

Then people complain that the game doesnt work, or starts up & goes black screen right away.. did they check to make sure that pre-requisites are already installed before trying the game out ?? good luck bud.

@Zyo well maybe those keys aren't needed for everyone but for me if they don't exist the game won't boot at all (when i open the game it just opens then closes, i don't even get a black screen), if you don't have them in your registry and the game is booting then its probably just me or maybe its windows XP SP3 or maybe your system already has these entries (from a previous install or from a different program/game/OS)
I checked all the registry entries the game makes as it installs on my system (which already has all the Prerequisites installed) by using a debugger as the game installed then made it save all changes into a HIVE then i put each registry entry the game made into my real registry until i found which allows the game to boot on my system.

yeap, tried and works. will update the script now.

tested new script and it appears to be working fine (tested on Windows XP Sp3), Great work Zyo

(You can download the script from the first post.)

is there any way to make this 4xdvd5??
i prefer 4xdvd5 than 3xdvd5 compressed

you could try editing the line
Compression=lzma
to
Compression=none
which should make it 4xDVD5,
Or you could just split the files up and edit the files section to use External files and just include the files onto the DVD as is (so the installer basically will just copy the files from the DVD to your PC but this would cause a problem with the file that is over 5GB so you might need to use some sort of file splitting tool for that 1 file),
There are lots of other ways it could be done but those are probably the easiest.

I complete the compiling of the instalation directory of game. And when i go to the TEMP folder i have files Setup-1a -----> Setup 3c but i have a lot of other files , what else i need to put in my dvd5 folders.
First disk: Setup-1a, Setup-1b, Setup1-c
Second disk: Setup-2a, Setup-2b, Setup-2c
Third disk: Setup-3a, Setup-3b, Setup-3c
Did i need anything else to put in this folders (like, Setup, or icon.ico, or autorun.inf)?
Plz help ;)

@zyo Can you put some pictyre to see how is game working, and please describe conversion little more, which of the files should be on the first Disk, on the second disk and on the third disk.

@zyo/kranmer:

You write:

On my Win 7 x64 system this file was found in C:\ProgramData\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\ so I changed the source accordingly.

But how should I also change accordingly the "DestDir" part of that line?

Is {commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\ good to go for my Win 7 x64 system or does this work only for XP?

Should I write "C:\ProgramData\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\" perhaps instead, as both the source and destination folder?

Thanks.

@d00m3d well i don't have Win 7 x64 but the way inno works using {commonappdata} should make it install to the correct folder regardless (that way it should work on both XP and Vista/7 systems), but you could always make a small installer with just 1 file to test it (make a dummy file and make a inno installer install just that 1 dummy file to
{commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\
and if it appears in
C:\ProgramData\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\
you will know it is working correctly

am I correct?
 

Thanks for script zyo
pardon my language because I use google translator
There are some things I do not understand

If you see this code:
what does it mean "before" doing the conversion, we have to copying files Social Club Setup.exe to the installation folder?

Is there any effect if we use the code:
Note: on last DVD create the appropriate folder with the code above, and copy the files into that folder.

so programs that need to be able to directly perform the installation from the last dvd after the installation games is completed

am I correct?

thank you

Can somebody answer on my post, i have this error when i try to run icon of the game, or to just start the game:

http://www.usnimi.me/slike/untitlcuc.jpg

@sstanke it says you are missing the DLL for the rockstar social club which is needed for installation, if you install the social club it should fix the problem (you can find it on your original DVD or if you use the latest patch it should appear in the games directory)

Just did that, and indeed it appeared in the correct place! Thanks :)

your last section is the better of the 2, and yes to your first question the social club exe needs to be in installed game folder.

did you change the source to match your installed location ?
AND are you using ansi version of INNO ?

What is ansi version of inno?

ansi version of INNO setup are for languages like english, french, german, italian, spanish, polish etc.
unicode version is for languages like russian, chinese, vietnamese, arabic, farsi etc, ones that use a different code page then would normally be used.

just suffice it to say get the ansi version of inno setup, you'll have less issues to worry about
