I've tried with lzma/ultra64 but still get 375mb Setup-3a.bin and there's nothing i can delete so i'll try with freearc and see what happens

I don't have much experience with srep and precomp so right now i'm doing some reading to learn how to use them

Here is two reason to use freearc
1.Compression is much better
2.installation is much faster

can you explain how to implement freearc compression in this conversion?
Thanks

[pakrat2k2]

switch from #define programfiles....( add ; to front of line )
enable ;internal compressional ( remove same from front of line )

add PrecompVer=Inside to setup.ini
also add with your filenames ( archives )
[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile2=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2;
FreeArcFile4=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:3;

look at Fabioddq's DMC topic for more info.

Hello, I'm new with this, so can you explain your tutorial with more details ?

I don't understand :

3. Move or Make Redist Folder On The Compiled\TR_3
File Inside Redist Folder

Does this mean I have to create a folder like this : J:\Games\TR\Compiled\TR_3 ??

And what do you mean with this : Code:
DirectX Folder
vcredist_x86.exe --> Download Or Take From Another Game4. Open InstallerScript.iss with Inno Setup Unicode version, edit the line below according to your game's installed location:

Code:
#define ProgramFiles "F:\DMC Devil May Cry"Save and compile

Where do I find Inno Setup Unicode ? And when found, I have to put un the DMC Devil May Cry text ? And than Save and compile ?'

I'm sorry but I get lost just typing this all . Can you give me a more detailed text ? If not, thanks anyway.

Bye bye

inno-unicode >program used to compile ISS script.

step3 > its in the compiled folder within archive from post #1
copy directx folder from any game that includes it. vcredist should be included with most games too, or google it & download it to the specified folder.

Finally I was able compress the game to fit 2DVD5 using only srep with peterf1999 method but since is the first time i use this kind of compression now i'm getting "unknown compression method" error wen i try to install the game , i know that changes has to be made but i can't figure it out where, by now i'm reading related posts

[pakrat2k2]

add PrecompVer=Inside to setup.ini
also add with your filenames ( archives )
[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile2=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2;
FreeArcFile3=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:3;

etc .....

OH and add arc.ini to setup.cab ( root of archive)

Thank you!!, now it's working!! but when i install the game, DLC and Movies folder are not created although its contens are there in game's folder, the first test was ok, i'm missing something i'll check everything again, probably a mistake in .lst file
