I'm sorry peterf1999 but i missed the wmv part!
Now it's all ok with W7x64, final iso: 4,15GB

...and holy crap, awesome conversion and amazing setup!

ps: i didn't know we could use srep/precomp expressing it directly from the command line as parameters for arc!

both srep & precomp are newest versions which have some additional commands, that werent there in previous versions, that alow for even more compression capabilities.

i'm on sp3 and i can play the ogg files in video folder without sound -i guess it's normal to not have sound-
any ideas?

you missing codecs d/l & install k-lite codec pack

Peterf' Nice job incorporating the video into the installer. I too had issues with final DVD5 being too large, so I just use the recoded OGG
from another post, ( reduced the OGG from ~600MB down to 254MB then had enough room. )

scared the crap outta me lol

same uninstall error as leo95, Runtime error, cannot import FirewallInstallHelper.dll

Cleared any reg entries, removed from startmenu, started over again (2nd time) completes with 0 errors ) and yet again same uninstall error

[JacksMafia]

but i have the last k-lite codec pack installed

[pakrat2k2]

the big black screen during install of syndicate, its just an avi file encoded into setup.
so if you can play avi files without issue then it should have shown up during install.

I never got this error , the code of firewall exception is the same as others conversions, however shows the contents of your Data4.bin

[pakrat2k2]

here's screenshot of Data4.bin

[peterf1999]

As i expected the presence of Firewallinstallhelper library in the archive causes the error.
Re-create the Data4.bin or delete from it the useless files.

My Data4.bin:

[pakrat2k2]

using freearc 067 gives error message when trying to remove those useless files from archive. Unsupported switches ? bah! will just recreate that last bin

but why do those useless files even get copied into the game dir,from your installer, can you not set them to dontcopy ?

[peterf1999]

You must use freearc in filter mode from command line (but first removes the useless files):

From Syndicate_DVD5 folder type:

e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk\Data4.bin -x"c:\program files\Syndicate\Content_Rus\*" -x"c:\program files\Syndicate\Content\*" -x"c:\program files\Syndicate\__Installer\*" -x"c:\program files\Syndicate\*RU.dll" -mprecomp:t-nfj+srep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 

Those files are useless when are located in the archive, the installer extracts the files (embedded) when needed.

thanks was the precomp switch (-mprecomp:t-nfj) that gave error when trying to reopen the archive after it was created .
