Blur DVD9 -> DVD5
 

1, Install the game from the original DVD9.
2, Compress "cache" and "levels" folders with FreeArc:
3, Extract the DVD9 to a temp folder f.e.: D:\BD5
4, Delete Group1.cab, Group11.cab and WW_CAB.cab, only Group2.cab needed.
5, Delete Setup folder from this temp dir.
6, Copy and overwrite existing files downloaded from attachment.
7, Move the copressed Freearc archive to nGame folder.
8, Make an ISO with Blur_DVD lablel.
9, Install Game with LAUNCHER.EXE (this very important).
10, Final ISO size: 4,36 GB.

The game will create registry keys with the original installer, so you can apply updates.
Uninstall also works.

good work mate.
but you can also include exe extractor into your msi

can you explain for what the all exes are??
i will make a simple script for you.

I tried, but not working, it's a different installer than other IS+MSI.
Launcher.exe launches install.exe with /silent /suppressmsgboxes commands, Install launching setup, after setup finished install.exe launches the nGame\decomp.exe with /silent /suppressmsgboxes commands the program reads the game folder from registry and then extract the freearc archives.

ok. tried it.

works fine. decompression uses 50% cpu, and ~360MB of ram.

decompression took about 5 minutes. so i'm glad installation didn't take long
