Hi Jarmen_Kell.

Could You show me the records.ini file from your finished conversion?

I used the same config as you for the conversion, but for some strange reason after the conversion process finished my records.ini file was not be created or has been deleted, i only need that file for my installer works, thanks.

The best compression method is "xzlib+preflate+srep+lzma":

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selected ARC/DS method for Data1-01.bin was: xtool:mreflate+srep_new+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:b t4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000
Selected ARC/DS method for Data2-01.bin was: srep_new+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc 1000000

(Sorry, I lost this report text file, but it takes more than 15 hours and still in 8 DVD)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But it seems there is some problem in new installer with "xtool:mreflate+srep_new+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m: bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000" method. I got "ISDon.dll" error in 67% of installing.

I noticed problem will solve if "setup.exe" executed as asministrator. Now I'm wonder how to change Autorun.inf to do so!
