(2xDVD9 to 4xDVD5)

Inno Setup v5.3.5

1) Install the game from the 2 dvd9.

2) Extract 'SWTFU.7z' where you want (better where you have a lot of free space)

3) Open Inno Setup script 'SWTFU.iss' and edit it under label files:

from Source: F:\Star Wars The Force Unleashed\*;

to Source: yourdrive:\folderofgameafterinstallation\*;

4) Compile the script

5) Move:

setup-2*.bin files to disk2
setup-3*.bin files to disk3
setup-4*.bin files to disk4

6) Copy from 1st dvd9:

'support' folder to disk4
'autorun.inf'
'SWTFU_Autorun.exe'
'AWL_Release.dll'

files to disk1

7) Copy SWTFU.ico from 'SWTFU.7z' archive to disk2-disk3-disk4

8) Create autorun.inf in disk2-disk3-disk4 :

[autorun]
open=0
icon=SWTFU.ico

9) Burn or make ISOs with label names of your choice.

I dont know (not testet yet) if it can reduce the number of DVDs (you can also increment value of DiskSliceSize directive), however you can try

Use this script (small changes have been made) now the request of desktop icon shortcut appears only on xp system,instead on win 7/vista the installer uses game explorer.

I've been able to get it to 2xDVD5's by reencoding the bik files and compressing the levelpacks folder with freearc at the highest compression, but I have a few problems with the script.

1. I'm running Windows XP and I don't get any option for start menu shortcuts. Is it simply changing DisableProgramGroupPage=yes to DisableProgramGroupPage=no?

2. The uninstaller fails to uninstall all of the files(this is by design), however I would like it to uninstall everything in the folder(or at least the LevelPacks Dir as it's quite large). I'm guessing the command should look something like this: DelTree('{app}\LevelPacks', True, True, True); but I have no idea where to put it in your script.

3. For some reason at the end of the install the navigation part of the setup(where the finish button is etc) moves part way out of the screen to the bottom right. Not a deal breaker by any means as it's movable but I'm curious as to why it does that.

4. AWL_Release.dll needs to be in the same directory as SWTFU_Autorun.exe or it doesn't start(it gives an error stating that it can't find AWL_Release.dll but that's an easy fix).

Only the desktop icon is created as the original installer does,however if you want XP start menu shortcuts :

[Setup]
DefaultGroupName=Aspyr\Star Wars The Force Unleashed
[Icons]

Name: {userdesktop}\Star Wars - The Force Unleashed; Filename: {app}\SWTFU Launcher.exe; WorkingDir: {app}; Tasks: desktopicon;
Name: {group}\Star Wars - The Force Unleashed; Filename: {app}\SWTFU Launcher.exe; WorkingDir: {app}; check: CheckOsVer();
Name: {group}\{cm:UninstallProgram,Star Wars - The Force Unleashed}; Filename: {uninstallexe}; WorkingDir: {app}; check: CheckOsVer();

delete the line DisableProgramGroupPage=yes
the default value for this directive is No

After you compressed levelpacks folder do not delete it, replace its contents with dummy files and then compile the script.

its XP issue, on vista/win 7 the FinishedPage is at the center of the screen, however use the attached script.
