Yes, i uninstalled it already before trying to install from a dvd5 sir however i didn't delete the "Skyrim" folder from the "My Games" directory. I'm still going to try it out. But, does this matter?

I also doubt if i compressed the files right using freearc because I didn't see any "compress" option in freearc.

the skyrim folder in my games should be your save & config for the game, you dont want to delete that unless you want to start all over again.

as for freearc once you've chosen what files you want to add to archive a box comes up and asks where you want to save. etc. down a few lines is compression.. see screenshot



EDIT

But re-read Step#3 as it tells you what compression to use --> m0 as your going to further use precomp & srep on those archives.

I was able to follow the instructions correctly sir. I uninstalled the game before trying to install from the dvd5 image but still when i load the image using daemon tools, in the Autorun, "Play" option appears instead of "Install" and the other buttons doesn't work. If i click one of them, the autorun closes.

Am I the only one encountering this problem?

PS.
Thanks for your time and effort in helping me out with this sir pakrat. Very much appreciated.
