Since the installation is based on layout.bin instead of a MSI installation table....... any program to edit layout.bin easily such as ORCA........

no. the only way to make it ask for 'disk 2' is if you edit the layout.bin into 3.9gb cab files.

based on the current layout, it counts each 1gb cab file as 1 disk.


all you have to do is take the GTA4 dvd5 conversion, modify editlayout.bat so that the value is 4000000000.

and then you will be left with only data1.cab-data3.cab.

put data3.cab on disc 2. The installer will ask for the appropriate disc #


this is my layout. It doesn't ask for disc 1 at the end. 1-2 install.



i don't know why some of you want a 1dvd5 install. Is it worth all that work to save 20 cents for the cost of an extra dvd?
