UPDATE - if you can't see the options to install DirectX, Visual C++, GFWL etc it might be because you're runing a 32bit OS so change the 5 lines in setup.ini from 'Launch164=1' to 'Launch164=0' etc

Worked for me

This has been corrected me yesterday
do not mistake the one who does nothing

Ok so my changing the 5 lines in setup.ini from 'Launch164=1' to 'Launch164=0' I can now see the radio boxes on the installer screen to install DirectX, GFWL etc but none of the selected redists install after the game has finished installing!

Does anyone please know how to fix this?

[REV0]

Interesting that both previous Batmans work except this one... OK try this, go to your setup.ini - LaucherSettings and overwrite:

[LauncherSettings]
InstallRedist=1

Launch1=DirectX
Launch164=1
Launch1BeforeInstall=1
LaunchCom1=redist\DXRedist\DXSetup.exe
LaunchArg1=

Launch2=Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 x86
Launch264=1
Launch2BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom2=redist\vcredist_x86.exe
LaunchArg2=

Launch3=Games for Windows LIVE
Launch364=1
Launch3BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom3=redist\gfwlivesetup.exe
LaunchArg3=

Launch4=.NET Framework 3.5
Launch464=1
Launch4BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom4=redist\dotnetfx35.exe
LaunchArg4=

Launch5=AMD Dual-Core Optimizer 
Launch564=1
Launch5BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom5=redist\AMD_DCOptSetup.exe
LaunchArg5=

Then make a folder in DVD1 folder and name it as 'redist'

After that, put all components to that folder.

Apply the conversion but DO NOT burn to DVDs.

Start the installation and check they're installing now or not.

It's not my conversion so i cant help you more, nevertheless, current one is using old system, which needs to be updated. Cheers.

change all Launchx64 lines to zero.
this option provides you the possibilty to enable/disable running the executable ONLY on a x64 system.
all those files are x86 files -> therefore everything 0.

dont forget to put those files to the main folder of DVD4.

Thanks guys for the help, really appreciate it - the problem with the initial setup is that the 'redists' will only get installed if you make a redists folder on DVD1 and NOT DVD4 - as REV0 explained.

This leaves the problem of there then not being enough room for the 'Redists' folder to fit on DVD1 as the redists folder on it's own is just over 400MB in size and the total size of DVD1 with the redists folder included is nearly 4.9GB which means it's over the size limit of a regular DVD

Any ideas PLEASE?

So you solved it ? Also to be sure, redist installed on DVD1 not in DVD4 right ?

Open Installerscript.iss, find this value:

DiskSliceSize=1556000000

Change it with:

DiskSliceSize=1380000000

Thanks again REV0 -this mod means that the game now spans to 5 x DVD's right? Anyone else folowing this thread and REV0's instructions on how to get the installer working correctly will also need to re-modify the clean.bat file to move the new setup files to the correct DVD number etc.

REV0 Is there anyway you can think of to get this to fit to 4 DVD's instead of 5?

Would it also fit on to 2 x DVD9 if the "DiskSliceSize" was changed?

Change compression level to 'lzma'. The current one:

Compression=none

Maybe it'll still fit to 4 DVD5s.

And yes, theoretically it can fit in 2 DVD9s. For this, increase slicesperdisk value in installerscript. Current one is 3, raise it to 6 or sometihng

Cheers

i re-comversation work can change path
Thank You all men help for me
sorry i bad english

[POOTERMAN]

Spent hours last night trying to get this to fit on 4 x DVD but can't regardless of how many small or large files I make.

Managed to finally get it working and making it fit on to 2 x DVD9 by using lzma compression and DiskSliceSize=1110000000 and slicesperdisk=7.

Got to be better than having ot burn 5 DVD's!

Big thanks again to REV0 for the help along the way, cheers

yes,it works

[sarmadi]

So finally,is this conversion to 4xDVD5 or to5xDVD5??

[Smurf Stomper]

made my own little installer, it's 2x DVD9 & plays a slideshow during the process. Fit everything easily on lzma/fast for a good trade between installation file size & speed.
