You guys are thinking too much but as always missing the simplest things..
Just install the game in the language you want and record to a dvd the pre-installed game wich is 2.9gb size.
Can be copied (the whole folder) from a pc to another and run without any kind of installation or registry key.
Add the \Support\directx folder to your dvd to manual update directx if needed on the target installation pc.
surely for future game updates could be needed the registry info wich is:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1C\{137D91E1-2347-4EAC-BB0B-CC06C6B92A52}]
"InstallDir"="E:\\YourInstallDir\\Men of War"
"AppFile"="E:\\YourInstallDir\\Men of War\\mow.exe"
"AppVersion"="1.0.2.0"
of course according to your partition/target drive and target dir
----- EDIT (more over) ------
If for some reason you want to keep the game in more than one language (as im spanish and the spanish voices sucks but a friend wants it in spanish anyway) you can:
- install the game in the first language you want
- go to the install dir and make a backup or rename the file
localization.pak to
localizationFIRSTLANG.pak or whatever you want.
- open the windows registry editor, search for this key
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{137D91E1-2347-4EAC-BB0B-CC06C6B92A52}_is1]
(could be a different key, just check whatever key there in the uninstall section has the mens of war's installation data inside)
- delete or rename that key
- Run the dvd9 installer again and install the game in whatever your second language will be,
using the same install folder (like overwrite the previous installation but it will just add the extra languages)
- the new localization.pak will be your second language, make another backup or rename to
localizationSECONDLANG.pak or whatever you want and
now you can switch between your 2 installed languages by putting the desired localization.pak in the install dir.
4.15 gb english+spanish preinstalled game + Directx + fix + backup of original binaries.
