Yes same problem as mine here. It was as if the game did not installed.

The desktop shortcut seems okay, nothing wrong with it, and it's located in the root of the game.

Fallout.exe and Falloutlauncher.exe works fine before conversion (in original installation folder).

Problem occur only when we install the game from conversion output (Test Install). Can't launch the game at all. If open Falloutlauncher.exe, it says to install the game.

its because PROPER registry entries are not in InstallScript.iss

Insert these ( Delete The DLC entries if you don't have it installed, or change the LANGUAGE portion to match your language )

 Root: HKLM; SubKey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks; Flags: uninsdeletekeyifempty
Root: HKLM; SubKey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3; Flags: uninsdeletekeyifempty
Root: HKLM; SubKey: SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\1.00.0000; Flags: uninsdeletekeyifempty

when i start the game with fallout3.exe, the game start. a without the launcher i can not Change the Options or can mark dlc

[pakrat2k2]

It's missing a reg entry or something ?

it works perfectly fine using original install + Installed DLC + Update V1.7 + NO CD
you can select data files & all DLC content is there.

But once installing from conversion you can no longer select anything in data files ( its empty ) I never copied over GDF file, nor deleted the 3 GDF files from game folder ( like readme said too, as it didn't change a thing either way )

If I'm not mistaken, some changes to the game ini file is necessary. There's similar or even the same problem on some other Fallout 3 conversion.

just testing if keeping savegame data, will make any difference.
Also testing G4WL disabler, that allows to play 'offline' & moves the DLC files into the fallout 3 folder rather then in the 'hidden' G4WL folder.

i have check with the orginal Installation, no reg entry been missing


i have edit the Setup.ini

MyExecutableName=FalloutLauncher.exe
MyExecutablePath=
SaveGameFolder={userdocs}\My Games\Fallout3

- FalloutLauncher.exe it's located in the root of the game Folder
- save game Folder is in my games/fallout3

a my launcher Problem is not solved

[pakrat2k2]

found the issue, its not entering reg entries properly so the DLC will work.
Download the DLC.rar file, open with notepad & change the very last line to match where you installed game ( from conversion ). make sure that the double \\ are there !!!!!

save the changes then double click to add the entries to registry. Then the FalloutLauncher.exe will work as it should, you can choose which entries to check off

that will only work if the DLC you installed was german, if it was the English version it must say EN. But regardless, the DLC.rar I posted does make the DLC show up, when running from FalloutLauncher.exe Don't know why it doesn't run from having same entries in the [Registry] section of the ISS script.

[clriboli]

I tested the steam version and DVD version with no problem, but other problems can happen if a game from another region or language, but if a problem in this case the record can be added to the script ok or registration be installed separately

[pakrat2k2]

read my post #17, I replaced your entries in the script with those in the [registry] section of the iss script, so that the DLC would show up properly using FalloutLauncher.exe as the proper exe to run the game. ( Gives you the choices to select those DLC files, as the fallout3.exe doesn't. ) BUT regardless of having those entries IN THE ISS script, the DLC doesn't show up, until you manually add the SAME entries in the REG file.

[mier90]

There is something i wanna ask for, can clriboli or pakrat2k2 update the new script file as a whole ?

I am not used on editing the script file. Besides, I did not know where should i add those line in post #17.

Thank you for anyone who can help me.

[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 )

[NSCXP2005]

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
