I'm sure i've noticed some mistakes in this/lack of clarity, especially with regards to steps 3 and 4. Moving all files except Data 1 & 2 will move critical setup files that will cause it to fail if installing from Disc 1. This should surely be:
Publisher: 2K Games
Developer: 2K Games
Release Date: Feb 9, 2010
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
BIOSHOCK 2 (DVD9 to 2x DVD5)
1) Create a 'Folder 1' and a 'Folder 2'
2) Copy all disc contents to 'Folder 1'
3) Move 'Data3.cab' and copy 'autorun.inf' to 'Folder 2'
4) Copy 'Support' folder to 'Folder 2'
5) *optional* You may wish to move any Crack folder to Disc 2 as well if you it, to save sticking Disc 1 back in after the install.
Edit the 'autorun.inf' in 'Folder 2' to show:
Code:
[autorun]
icon=Support\AutoRun\AutoRun.exe,0
label=BioShock 2
5) Burn the contents of 'Folder 1' to a DVD. This is disc 1.
6) Burn the contents of 'Folder 2' to a DVD. This is disc 2.
Install from disc 1, and the setup will prompt you for disc 2 (for the location of Data3.cab), at which point you insert that to finish the setup.
ALTERNATIVELY!
Instead of moving the entire 'Support' folder (300MB+) just for the sake of getting a working icon, place the following icon file (attached) into the root of Disc 2, delete the 'Support' folder and edit the 'autorun.inf' to show:
Code:
[autorun]
icon=bioshock.exe
label=BioShock 2
The contents of Disc 2 should now just be lean and mean, with:
Quote:
autorun.inf
data3.cab
bioshock2.ico
