when i open the sfx with freearc, then come a pop up without text and a close button

Replace Peter's custom freearc.sfx with default in FreeARC installation folder, remember to back up the default one.

Weird,my archive is < 4gb, windows exe limitation?

Try this trick:

1) Convert sfx archive to normal archive (DiRT3_arc.arc)

2) Rename freearc.sfx to DiRT3_arc.exe

And then put both files in 'DiRT3_DVD5' folder

I can't try the trick because the error show me when I try to remove the game, or install, or restore. I'm blocked.

Same here. I solved deleting all Codemasters->DiRT3 entries into registry.
Then you can manually delete the DiRT3 install folder and reinstall the game. ;)

How to solve it ??

Make the iso for testing, if DiRT3_arc.exe didn't trigger, try to disable the Antivirus

Hello, I have a problem, I do everything as explained but when I'm installing the game when it comes to open DiRT3_arc_exe a pup up appears saying that "this is not freearc or the archive is corrupted". How can I fix that? I've downloaded many times freearc.sfx.7z and it is always the same. I'm running Win 7 x64

Hey peterf1999. Can I update & then convert the game?

EDIT: I installed the update and size is the same, so I can convert with update 1.2.
EDIT2: I tested it and it WON'T work. You must apply the connversion on a clear installation.

i have the complete edition (gfwl) and the final size is 4.43gb, its possible more compress to fit?

P/S: Sorry for my english

maximum is -mx ld1600m, you could have figured that out yourself by opening up freearc.

i remake the arc with this compression and i included the manual's folder to the installation folder for more compression and replace gfwl with the live setup

Installations works fine and the final size is 4,36gb but i have a problem: the dirt3_game.exe isn't the same in the complete edition and the game no works, i don't know how to replace it

just add in an extra folder before burning it, then after installing replace the exe with the one that works for the game you have.
