I found the following instruction set given by KillerOh in a thread.All the rep goes to him.I tried this my self and works 100%

- Install FreeArc

- From here on, locate the game files and folders by yourself.
You may thing I suck doing this, but HEY! Testing which files you should compress and the ones you shouldn't are just part of fun that I've "stripped" for you!

- Delete all uneeded languages from "loc" folder (Unless you have only one language)
--> But just to be safe, make sure you have the "GDFBinary_(language).dll" file that MATCHES the language you want to backup in the game folder.

- Use MAXIMUM (-mx -ld800) settings to compress the "_c4" folder and save as "data1.cab" (Notice that you must save the file as ".CAB" and NOT as .ARC, which is the FreeArc's defaults)

- Use NO COMPRESSION (-m0) settings for the file "Chunks2.sb" and save as "data2.cab"

- Grab these two, all "redist" installers and make DISK 1

- use "-mx -ld400" (Write it in the "compression settings" in FreeArc) to compress all the files inside "Win32" except "Chunks2.sb" and save as "data3.cab"
--> You can use "MAXIMUM (-mx -ld800) for these files, but it won't compress too much more than "-mx -ld400", so why bother with ULTIMATE compression?

- use NO compression settings (Or any compression you want) for all and every remaining file that you haven't compressed until now and save as "data4.cab"
--> Optionally, you can "compress" separately all these remaining files and//or folders with no compression and saving them as "data4.cab", "data5.cab" and so on. As long as they're "declared" in the .INI file along with the compiled custom installer, it'll be fine.
Heck, if you find a way to compress the game in a single DVD with FreeArc + PreComp + SRep you can easily CHANGE the settings with NO NEED to re-compile the installer again. Just change some lines in INI file and we're fine again! AND THAT IS DAMN FU***N' SERIOUS!

- Now grab these files for DISK 2.
