install.exe
install.ini
install.res.1028.dll (also files with the same numbers 1031,32..)

I am also getting that error ( To insert install disc). I simply start task manager & then close the process from there..
But I am also getting those files created by arc generator...
EDIT :-
I found the solution for the problems faced above. The way this conversion was created is that a custom installer was made which unpacks the
BLUR.arc file. This installer was renamed "
vcredist_x86" while the original vcredist_x86 was renamed "
vcredist_x86_inst". When the installer finishes then it unpacks the "vcredist_x86_inst" in any other partition on the HDD so that one can manually install the original vcredist_x86 if the need arises. That's why so many files were created.
Now vcredist_x86 (*original* which was re-named vcredist_x86_inst inside the downloaded custom archive BLUR_1xDVD5.7z) is just Visual C++ redistributable which is most probably already installed by any other game & may not be needed. Unless you need to install Visual C++ to run the game (provided BLUR is the first game you installed) you can safely delete it when creating the ISO file after copying the supplied archive content from
BLUR_1xDVD5.7z. Or maybe create a folder naming anything like "
VC++_x86" while making the ISO & move the "vcredist_x86_inst" file there so that you can manually install it if needed...
Tested on Win 7 SP1 x86 It works. You can install & uninstall the game. You can even use Updates if the need arises..
Thanxx peterf1999for the conversion...
