Drakensang - TRoT

[psyL0w]

Here is an installer for Drakensang The River of Time. It is a good old RPG that didn’t have the setup it’s worth and no alternative was issued on the forum
My conversion is based on CIU by Yener but moded to fix a couple of stuffs and made it for my taste. New features were also coded in autorun.exe as the outline effect of button texts.

Here is how to use it:
-----------------------------

1- Install the original game. Move unins000.dat and unis000.exe original file in a temp folder.
2 – Compress the content of the game directory with FreeArc. The following config gives good results (5Go --> 2Go):
a -ep1 -r -ed -lc2048 -ld512 -mt2 -mlzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8 "C:\temp\Setup-1.cab" -dp"C:\Program Files (x86)\Drakensang - The River of Time" *
The archive file name has to be Setup-1.cab. Original unins000.xxx files can now be restored and the game uninstalled with the original setup.
3-Deflate the attached archive in a temp folder. In the Support folder, you can copy the game manual according to the drakencode file model included. The localization is managed as follows:
Manual_XX.pdf with XX is DE for german, FR for French and so on. Whatever, it is recommend to put the English version without extension (ie Manual.pdf) as it’s the default one selected if none other is available.
4-Copy the Setup-1.cab in the temp folder and run the setup.exe to test the installer.
