Borderlands Multi 5 (DVD9 to 2xDVD5)
Install sequence DVD1-DVD2-DVD1

1) Create temp folders

'BORDERLANDS_1'
'BORDERLANDS_2'

2) Copy DVD9 contents to 'BORDERLANDS_1'

3) Move Setup5.cab-Setup11.cab to 'BORDERLANDS_2'

4) Copy Borderlands.ico from 'BORDERLANDS_1' to 'BORDERLANDS_2'

5) Create autorun.inf in 'BORDERLANDS_2':

[autorun]
open=0
icon=Borderlands.ico

6) Extract 'Borderlands.7z' contents to 'BORDERLANDS_1'

7) Open MSIs files (one at a time) with orca or appeditor, import & replace all tables (Tables.7z) and then save overwriting the MSI file

8) Burn or make ISOs with same labels name of temp folders

Note: Shortcut table for XP users, on Win 7 & Vista the game's installer doesn't use it
(However, even Win 7 & Vista users can use it if they want)

@peterf1999: work perfect, I like Setup13.cab, Setup14.cab

[matucaballito]

peter1999: It works ok, very ingeniously it of the Setup13.cab, Setup14.cab

goto peter's conversion.. he has the fixed tables files that allow the cracked file to be installed during installation. You can look at his 'altered' tables files and see whats different in them from originals ( using orca ). If i remember correctly there is securom check in one of the tables.

have fun... its already been done for you by peter'

[rafaelmiglio]

Thankz peterf1999.
Works perfectly!

Then set the type colum of the actions named RCDecrypt* from 3090 to 3154. This has the effect of ignoring the return code of the action and thus avoiding the main installer rollback even if the related SecuRom check is aborted by the user by hitting Cancel.

I've also split the iso into 2 DVD5 with the installation sequence being DVD1->DVD2 (no need to reinsert DVD1). I've just used SND's conversion but with setup12.cab in DVD2 and obviously modifying the MEDIA table and putting setup12.cab on the second disc.

If you remove those custom actions the game explorer's shortcut on vista/win 7 will not be created for current user/all users.
You will have to manually create a shortcut to launch the game... its not a good thing

you're right, I didn't tested on Win7/Vista. But again there's a simple solution for that too: go in the InstallExecuteSequence table and navigate to the CreateShortcuts action and remove the condition "VersionNT<600" leaving it blank instead. In fact, the condition VersionNT<600 creates the shortcuts only if Windows is XP or lower. By removing it the shortcuts are always created. Tried and tested.
