nice job bud

peter's added couple more settings then 'normal' to achieve better compression
but is it at the risk of causing more issues on everyday users's PC's ??

Compression=lzma2/ultra64
LZMADictionarySize=65536
CompressionThreads=2
LZMANumFastBytes=273
SolidCompression=yes
LZMAUseSeparateProcess=yes

According to the documentation with INNO some of those settings seem better suited for X64 systems, which not everyone runs. Who am i to judge, peter's conversions work spectacularly and most of the time without major issues. Hopefully he can figure out what causes the issues & can fix it.

By the way, if you know how I'd be grateful. Thanks for sharing your work!

Here it is,however you can't use the script for installation, its only a redesign of welcome page (no notify events,buttons disabled)

BGI.bmp & Button.bmp were extracted from yener90's Venetica conversion

Also the Launcher the View Manual and View Readme options don't work.
After the installation of the game the View Manual option works, but the View Readme continues not working (it instructs me to insert the Force Unleashed 2 DVD)

Using the original launcher on the disc I get this as well. I noticed Peter put in a launcher.exe in his conversion package, but it doesn't fix it. Anyone manage to examine launcher.exe and find out what file it's looking for when the view manual & view readme links are clicked?

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):

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.

Someone has the solution to this error?
