PERFECT !!!
thanks !!

Same here, installs great, thx for posting lumaia1950.:D

works perfectly, Only the names must be named no DVD1 and DVD2 but disc1 and disc2

DVD1 LABEL= disc1
DVD2 LABEL= disc2

This is the same installer which Crystal Dynamics was using for ages... ( In LOK installations, etc... )

Tomb Raider : Underworld DVD9 into 2XDVD5 MULTI

Easiest way to split the DVD is

1. Copy all data on the original DVD to a Temp folder

2. Burn all data ( Except bigfile.002, bigfile003 and movies folder ) to a DVD. Volume label will be "TRU" ( Not important though ). This will be your DVD1

3. Burn bigfile.002, bigfile003 and movies folder to another DVD. This will be your DVD2 ( You can add any patches, No DVDs in this if you like ) Volume label can be anything.

Thats all :)

Install the game from DVD1... installer will finish without giving any error messages. Once installer finishes, insert the DVD2 and copy it's contents ( bigfile.002, bigfile003 and movies folder ) to your installation directory. ( Where bigfile.000, bigfile001 and other files reside )

Tested and Working :)

thanks senseman, work's god, no error instalation.
Tested in Spanish language and windows xp-sp2 forgive for my english bad, I speak only Spanish Uso translator to write this. :)

Zanfer conversion worked fine for me, install DVD1-DVD2-DVD1... no need to copy files or stuff, it copies all files within installer... Thanks Zanfer

well i follow the senseman guide and label i put "disc1 and disc2" working very good on windows vista 32, the istall game working well too and no need copy the bigfile 01 and 02, everthing istall automatic thanks guys.

EDIT: Here is new TRUcopy.exe v2 for Zanfer conversion, download: TRUcopy-v2.7z (includes TRUcopy.exe and autorun.inf for it)

Usage: Put TRUcopy.exe to DVD2 along with bigfile.002, bigfile.003 and Movies folder

Now it should work correctly on XP (and Vista)

I changed it so it doesn't start copying files right away when inserting DVD2 and now it checks that install path is valid (by checking that there exist tru.exe in install folder) before copying files.

@mondragon, i think too inno or any other installer is better, but i find this good situation to fine tune my batch script to work on XP. atleast in my use it has been very useful, first version i made worked only on XP not on Vista and my second one worked on Vista but not on XP :) so i hope it now works in any situation

EDIT2: Link updated

senseman post#2 Tomb Raider Underworld DVD9 to 2xdvd5 worked. thanks

Senseman proper worked, but the labels are wrong. You should edit post to labels "disc1" and "disc2". Thanks!
