Hey, I managed to get my hands on another game version which I'd like to compress but I think we need a setup.exe update for that variant. The difference is the commandline which is now mandatory for both game and editor.

Version is from April 2009.
Launch commands:

Binaries\SawGame.exe -seekfreeloading
Binaries\SawGame.exe editor -seekfreeloading

Thank you kindly in advance for any help.
