NEVER include the unins*.exe or unins*.dat files from a previuosly installed game, when doing ANY DVD9 to DVD5 conversion. Move those files out of game dir, do the conversion with the rest of the games files, then move them back & uninstall normally. Then test the DVD5 Conversion ISO's for install / Uninstall. Never had an issue yet, but havent done this conversion as yet. Still working on another project.

Yes, I know peter has been very reluctant lately to post the full details of his latest conversions & hasnt responded much to questions regarding his conversions. He may be away, will just have to wait & see if he responds.

It depends. Have you ever installed from SKIDROW before?
Sorry, BAMsE, but there are a few ways to someone find these files among the game files for STEAM titles - Even from physical media:
  • You installed the games with custom installers (Like the ones "created" by Peterf1999)
  • Your "version" comes from SKIDROW (Almost all SKIDROW "scene releazes" of games in STEAM are repacked in very basic Inno Setup scripts)
  • Your "version" comes from a repack, like Black Box (These re-packs uses advanced scripts that looks like the ones done by Peterf. Well... we can find such installers in FreeArc russian forums anyway. Here for "not much" info =3)
