Dark Sector (Retail English)

1. Make 2 temp folders
2. Extract all files from ISO to first temp folder.
3. Extract files from the ISCAB-3GB.rar file to first temp folder, say yes to overwrite.
4. Run repack_cabs.bat file. (needs additional 5 GB of space)
5. Wait until its complete. Delete the following 6 files from temp folder:
(repack_cabs.bat, MediaBuild40.dll, make_list.bat, list.ini, ISTools.dll, ISCAB.exe)

6. Move data3.cab to temp folder 2
7. COPY all files/folder EXCEPT data1.* & data2.cab to temp2 folder
8. Edit autorun.inf in temp2 folder change as below.

Code:
[AutoRun]

first of all, the game has to be installed.
Then you need latest version of freearc installed in your system.

make a temp folder on your HD ( not in gamefolder ) extract 'DS_DVD5.7z' to the temp folder.

then follow steps 2-6. step 7 ( already have game installed ) but use freearc and compress the contents of the gamefolder using the settings from the screenshot. DONT save the DS_arc.exe file in gamefolder, choose the temp folder as location to save the file.

So only DS_DVD5.7z and DS_arc.exe should be in the temp folder, right?

the folder you want is the dark sector folder + subfolder

Deleted Junkposts.
EDIT: Beginning this from the start.
So where to extract dvd9 and when to replace with DS_dvd5.7z?

make temp folder on HD, then subfolder Dark Sector in temp folder
Copy all content from DVD9 to 'temp\Dark Sector'
remove all files from temp\Dark Sector\redist\directx
Extract & overwrite all content of 'DS_DVD5.7z' to 'temp\' NOT temp/dark sector
Run repack.bat ( right-click run as admin )
then follow step 6 & 7

Seems that I had a repacked release 5.63 GB, which my friend gave me. Can you direct me to a torrent/approximate size of the disc which is used in this guide?
