Thanks gatosky1620 for the setup graphics.

Info:
Comp Time: 5-6 hours
Install Time: ~1h 40min
HDD space: You need at least 3x Game size free space on the disc where the game is installed.
Output size: 3xDVD5 (with or without mgo online)

Additional:
Game archives will be unpacked, loose files (over 160k files) will be compressed (because original archives are protected). After compression, the loose files will be packed back to original archives (but with different md5/crc) and after this patch files will be created between originals and repacked archives to make the archives md5 perfect again after installation. All this takes a bit time (most of the time the unpacking and repacking of game archives will take place, so much HDD load, beware!).

Patch files should be around 4.72mb in total (with mgo online files). This patch files will be applied automatically AFTER installation through setup.exe is done. I did this with patch files because if you don't use patch files, the game will be not md5 perfect and therefore updates (especially xdelta ones) will fail - or if you decide to reinstall this through Steam, it will download the complete game again. This won't happen with patch files (they make the archives back to original md5/crc perfect). Just for info.

I don't know if a modded game will be compatible with this. This is tested only with unmodded game!

Compression, packing and install time will be a bit less without mgo online files (if you don't need them just delete them).

You don't need to do anything, just follow the steps. And turn of your Antivirus just in case.
