Fallout 3 Goty Edition + Innosetup

[pakrat2k2]

those lines go in the Installerscript.iss [REGISTRY] section. copy/paste them there.

I only used those entries NONE of the ones that were there, meaning I deleted all the lines in that section before I entered the ones I posted. ( Because I didn't use the GDF file, leave the lines if you want to use it, just enter the lines from post 17 below them )

Hi Pakrat2k2,

The installer works great but the problem I have found that the DLC do not show unless this line is added to the Registry like this:

String Installed Path with this value C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bethesda Softworks\\Fallout 3\\" under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout3]

Once that is done, it works perfect. The value has to be put in the registry actually like that or it won't work.

Do you know how I can get the ISS file to insert that correctly in the registry upon install?

Thanks

released Update 1.2

[pakrat2k2]

doesn't work, as you missed the 2 DLC entries in the registry section of script & missed adding the Langscript.iss into v1.2 archive.

No wonder i get an error during installation. I thought output file got damaged in 1st conversion.

So I compile for the 2nd time. And still, error occurred during installation.

Guess gonna wait for a fix before try to make the conversion again.

You can just copy the Langscript.iss from previous version. Then see post #30, for the correct entry & how it should be entered in the [REGISTRY] section of the script.

NOTE: clriboli just changing the path to {app} from a FULL location DOES NOT WORK.

 Root: HKLM; SubKey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout3; ValueType: string; ValueName: Installed Path; ValueData: {app}; Flags: uninsdeletevalue uninsdeletekeyifempty

However having the full path DOES WORK, but limits to where you can install game to.

 Root: HKLM; SubKey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout3; ValueType: string; ValueName: Installed Path; ValueData: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\; Flags: uninsdeletevalue uninsdeletekeyifempty

ok over this record Installer Path is the main record where you have not had this record up to play option in the game launcher appears not as can be noted that the record indicates the location where the game is installed and records the script was created based the retail DVD version

only key "Installed Path" necessary only re-install this key for enable DLC in Data Files

[clriboli]

It can also be noted that the Download option that appears in the game menu is unavailable for testing in the retail version dvd installer innosetup converted into the script and appear well off the DLCs still works even not appearing in Data files in Launcher but can be differences in steam and DVD version because I based on Retail version

The file that appears in this GDFFallout.dll installed has changed the Box Art with a more correct image for the game rather than appearing as a boy by default but if you want to use the original standard does not replace

[clriboli]

I'll test the dlc.reg and subsequently put in the forum the script ready for the curious is that the Retail version on DVD doesn't have this record and yet works already converted version no

[clriboli]

the record dlc.reg works perfectly but when I add it to the script and creating the installer and installing it later the game Launcher is still not recognizing the DLC game same entries being an exact match to the DLC.reg but the curious that when installing the registry manually it works perfectly. So the only way to work is creating the installer normally and installing the registry manually after

Note:

can someone explain to me why installing the registry manually works and integrating it in the installer doesn't work even though both equal records

only manually installing this registry entry after the installer which will appear the DLC in Data Files even though both records being equal

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout3]
"Installed Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bethesda Softworks\\Fallout 3\\"

Run registry fix after installation. Now the game works perfectly.

Thank you clriboli & pakrat2k2 for your hard work.

Cheers!
