has any settings that do not to use the temp folder during installation? because I have this problem too, and I have to keep changing the local temp folder in order to install.

these new conversions were different from previous ones, as needed before not use the Temp folder for the installation of games.

goto control panel > system> advanced system settings
then environment variables at the bottom, change the 2 temp folder locations at the top & 2 at the bottom ( to where you have LOTS of room ) then reboot pc to take effect.

Thank you.
for DVD9 use 7950 or 8430 ( depending on software to burn your dvd9 )

FirstVolumeSize=7930
CustomVolumeSize=7950
ThresholdPercent=100

But that all depends on the media & burning software so have it at 7950 ( like above ) other have it at 8430, so you'll have to test to see what value works best for you.

ps Post back what number you finally came up with that burns dvd9. (don't have any to test )

hi, i tried the above numbers and i got 5 dvdx9,the last dvd is 1.00gb.
I could not install it to test because for some reason i took space from hard drive C: and the game was installing in D:...and in c: i didn`t have so much space for the temp files...it looks that the game was merging there and after it was copying itself into D:...
