Even activision has a kb article about it here!

EDIT: Well who knew, I just figured it out. The launcher is looking to open the file Support\Star_Wars®_The_Force_Unleashed™_II_Manual-EN.pdf
LucasArts accidentally named the file "Star_Wars™_The_Force_Unleashed™_II_Manual-EN.pdf". So basically swap out the ™ for ® and you're golden!

For me using the english version, The pdf works fine, but i had to remove the "-EN" from the rtf file. The file without the "-EN" part is in the support folder of the DVD9. I copied from root folder the one with the "-EN".

Follow peter's instructions properly and you will not have any problems.

As always Peter, Great work


EDIT:
--------
Ok just tested again. The above method solves the problem for before installation, because the launcher looks for the support files on the dvd. After installation however, the launcher looks for the support files in the game directory.

If using the english version, then this file gets removed 'Star_Wars™_The_Force_Unleashed™_II_Troubleshootin g_Guide' because of this code of peter's in the .iss file (see red highlighted part):
Code:
Source:{#SourcePath}*; Excludes: \unins000.*,\FirewallInstallHelper.dll,\GameuxInstallHelper.dll,\Game\Disc\Audio\External\Italian,\Game\Disc\Audio\External\French(France),\Game\Disc\Audio\External\German,\Game\Disc\Audio\External\Spanish(Spain),\Game\Disc\Audio\GeneratedSoundBanks\Windows\Italian,\Game\Disc\Audio\GeneratedSoundBanks\Windows\French(France),\Game\Disc\Audio\GeneratedSoundBanks\Windows\German,\Game\Disc\Audio\GeneratedSoundBanks\Windows\Spanish(Spain),\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\KAM1_INTRO_IT,\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\KAM1_INTRO_DE,\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\KAM1_INTRO_ES,\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\KAM1_INTRO_FR,\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\LEC_IT,\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\LEC_DE,\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\LEC_ES,\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\LEC_FR,\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\LEC_PL,\Game\Disc\FMV\Win32\LEC_RU,\Support\*DE.*,\Support\*IT.*,\Support\*FR.*,\Support\*SP.*;DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs
The word 'Guide' in the filename above also ends with 'de' and so the english .rtf gets excluded as well.

Hope this helps some people. Gonna redo my the compilation later and retest.
