L.A. Noire 2DVD9 --> 3DVD5 [INNOSetup]

[DonHomerone]

This custom installer Works with any L.A.Noire installation and no matter what patches and stuff you add. The final size will change on what you add.

01- Download the attachment and extract it to any folder (This case D:\TEMP will be used)

02- Install the game

03- Apply any updates, DLCs, NO-CD Crack or whatever you want

04- Copy the "ISSetupPrerequisites" folder from disk 1 to your game installation folder

05- Delete the following files from copied "ISSetupPrerequisites" folder:

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.prq
Microsoft DirectX Redist (June 2010).prq
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86).prq
Rockstar Games Social Club.prq

06- Rename the following folders (OLD NAME >>> New Name)

{074EE22F-2485-4FED-83D1-AAC36C3D9ED0} >>> dotnetfx35
{0BE9572E-8558-404f-B0A5-8C347D145655} >>> vcredist
{46066852-8450-4988-9E2F-47C7A8A84C7E} >>> Social Club

07- With INNO Setup installed, double click on L.A.Noire.iss
(Try to use latest version of ANSI Release to avoid problems)

08- Edit the first line and change the red part to your game installation path. BE SURE TO KEEP THE "\" OR IT WONT WORK!!

#define SourcePath "D:\Games\L.A.Noire\"

09- Hit the compile button and wait for a couple of hours (dependng on your system) to complete

- Images taken from google images
- Installer music from youtube
- Registry entries from kranmer
- And lots of tips and base work from pakrat2k2 posts

Screenshots!

NOTE: Screenshots are in spanish and without texts coz I like it that way, whole installer is multi language and texts are taken from your INNO Setup installation so you're done.

Optionally you can use Social Club v1.0.5.0 Setup.exe instead the one on the disk, but be sure to place it on the same folder and with the same name and you're all set


Version 1.0: First release (215 downloads)

Version 2.0:
- Fixed source path for LANoireEFIGS.ini file (Thnxs mroussev for pointing it out)

Nice job, tested on W7X64, havent come across any issues yet

EDIT:

Did come across an issue where the source for the LANoireEFIGS.ini is located.

You have:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini

where under W7X64 its located "{commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini " which means C:\ProgramData\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini.

There is a tiny error on code.This:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini

must be changed to this

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini

otherwise it gives error that cant find .ini file.

Tested with a clean install from original disks on my laptop and the file goes on

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire

just like it's on my script... maybe you should check it again...

[DonHomerone]

I actually noticed one thing... both paths are the same... just entered to one of them made a new txt file then pasted the other path on the address bar and opened the other location with the same txt I've made previously, so one way or the other it's ok do your own tests and you'll see

[pakrat2k2]

the line in the script under source:

Source:"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini"; DestDir: "{commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\"; Flags: IgnoreVersion;

The FRONT part is incorrect.. if it was Source:"{commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\LANoireEFIGS.ini";DestDir: "{commonappdata}\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire\"; Flags: IgnoreVersion;

then it would be correct. I dont have a LANoireEFIGS.ini in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire, under W7X64. But I DO have one under
C:\ProgramData\Rockstar Games\L.A. Noire.

Well I have them both, and like I said on previous post, if I create a txt file on one path and have it on the other path too, but it's maybe my case.

Maybe has something to do with the fact I'm using the built-in Admin account which comes with the system. (Win7X64, btw) who knows...

But once again, both folders are the same in my case, I put one new file on one of them and I have the same file on the other one

I think we except: Microsoft DirectX, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 => Fix 3xDVD5

Well... in my case I have included the 1.0.2396 update + a couple of DLCs so, I don't care about going up to 4DVD5 lol

[pakrat2k2]

DO NOT extract the attatchment into your gamefolder EVER. Just make a new folder on your HD where you have lots of room. ( The poster said he used d:\TEMP )
To extract the file you will need 7-zip ( 7z extension )

then follow the rest of the instructions.

Why the Tiger.cjsytles file is installed to game dir?

I check it and on my pc is under \All Users\Application Data\Rockstar Games\ .But i use XP,maybe on win7 it is in \All Users\Rockstar Games\.After fixing the script like i said conversion continue normal.

[DonHomerone]

Updated script, read changelog... no big changes if it worked for you before

[igivk]

Do i need to copy "ISSetupPrerequisites" folder to installed game directory or to "Compiled\Disk1" folder? Please help !

[pakrat2k2]

Copy the "ISSetupPrerequisites" folder from disk 1 to your game installation folder, after you've renamed them like the instructions say
