Fallout - New Vegas (1x DVD5) *INNO+Precomp+Srep+FreeArc*

[BAMsE]

In my case it seems to be another reason of this error. I've uninstalled the game by original setup before installing the conversion, moreover i cleaned the leftovers with soft from KillerOh's post, and after reinstalling the game this problem comes back.

Although KillerOh's post clarifid the reason of occuring this error, at last he sad: "Alternatively, buy a DVD9 Media and do the backup"... Yeah, right... If i'm here it means i _DON'T_ want to archive on DVD9. The same peterf1999's advice: "if you don't like it, simple... don't use it". The problem is i like your job and want it to be perfect throughout.

Moreover i used to wander the forums so long to say half of people isn't astute enough to modify registry or, what is worse, to use cCleaner or another similar soft. Another ones will get an idea to clean registry without such "revealing" advice. So i've thought more about fixing some scripts than improvise one-time solution ("if you have a horrible splotch on your tablecloth then try to... set there a vase with flowers" ;P). Furthermore the KillerOh's post proves, this is a wider problem and pobably will return in next conversions.

I thank Grumpy to show that actually neither me nor peter are pointing BAMsE for bad intentioning. However, as I said before, all the times that happened, it was because the game wasn't fully uninstaled, or due to some random error during uninstall. It was... "never" a kind of fail from peterf's installes.

BTW... not "his" installers after all...

Considering the "ammount" of code changing required to turn a "custom installer for (The intended game here)" to a "custom installer for (Your game here)"... as long as Peterf haven't messed with "uninstall" settings (As I suppose these are handled by Inno Setup itself, with no need to do "special codes", other than changing the uninstall window), there should be no problem with the uninstaller itself.

However, one have to admit: The "don't like then don't use" answer, plus the fact "his" installers are "closed-source" don't help us not even a little. Plus, if the uninstall issue isn't TRULLY related to the registry keys (As BAMsE said), then:

I **SUPPOSE** this is the reason of the problem. Even because original game installers uses the info from windows registry to "know" if a game is installed or not. That's how an autorun menu "knows" how to enable//disable the "install", "play" and "uninstall" buttons when the game is installed or not, or how an original installer asks to UNINSTALL a game if it's already installed in your system - Something that Inno installers doesn't seem to do.

And going back to the time where I did some custom menus, plus the code Skeraxe sent to me in that times and the fact that these peterf's installers always were "Registry-sensitive", that should be no surprise if peter's installer uses the regkeys for "uninstall" features, like it uses to the "autorun" features ("Uninstall" is disabled in my PC, as I don't have the game).




Don't get me wrong, people, it's just an opinion.
And yes, I'd like to see these peter's codes, and even that he stop sending pre-compiled installers, but the codes to be compiled instead (Like he did sometime ago). So people can do the needed tweaks by their own, or wait for someone with more free time to do these... with no need to asking to peter to do everything everytime and all... Whatever.
