hi pakrat2k2

[InstallOptions]
ApplicationName=SpellForce 2 Faith in Destiny
Publisher=
MyExecutableName=SpellForce2FaithinDestiny.exe
MyExecutablePath=
SaveGameFolder=
GameSize=4370
Lang=en
LangUI=0
PrecompVer=0

is this right?cause i still cant get it to change i testing with a small game as it easy to learn rather than coverting a big game everytime u make a mistake

[pakrat2k2]

is SpellForce2FaithinDestiny.exe in root of game folder or in subdir?
if in subdir then MyExecutablePath= ( subfolder path )

They must have the same name as the originals and the extension must be .jpg (not .jpeg)

see??

Yes, the compression is wrong. This should be an InstallShield CAB, not a Micro$oft CAB; they're very different, even if their file extension is the same.

OOH YEAH ,,THANKS
but how can i do that?
thanks for help

[yener90]

no no Setup.cab is not a a real cab file, its a zip file.
it just contains this extension too look more like a installshield installer.

youre one is a cab file, but it need to be a zip file.
just compress it like zip then rename it to cab.
