Silent Hill Homecomming DVD9 to 1xDVD5

1. Install game + any updates cracks etc.
2. Download archive, extract to HD NOT in Gamefolder
3. Edit ISS script & change line #1 to match YOUR gamefolder
3A. I used SHORT gamefolder name, IE: c:\Silent
4. Output will be in Compiled folder.
5. Burn Contents to ISO using any label.

Works like a charm!
Thanks pakrat2k2

---------------
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit

An error occurs at the end of the installation:
"Line 458"
"Out of range"
Something in the index of array of backgrounds images!
Any solution?
Thanks for this conversion!

weird, never has issue installing / uninstalling from conversion files ??

I'm trying again, but the error occurs before finalizing the installation.
Occurs in this code snippet (line 458):

bgImage.bitmap.LoadFromFile (expandConstant ('{tmp} \' + names [c]. name));

I tried to understand the code and modify the index, because the error is exactly this - out of range - when changing background images!
I'm trying again, let's see if it will fine this time!

Thanks for giving me back!

If I try to install from the setup generated file - with Inno Setup Compiler closed - the error does not appear, but the installation does not finish, this fall into a infinite loop!
But despite the problems the game is all installed, but the uninstaller is corrupted!
I'm trying again!
More Thanks!

I'll have to dig out the files from collection & double check it, im sure I never had any issues, but will post back once Ive tried it. ( just moved so things are all over the place & not 100% sure where everything is atm )

but at least make sure your compiling with ansi version of inno & see if that helps.

I'm using the version 5.5.3 Inno Setup - the "normal version" available in official site, must be a ANSI version, since Unicode version generates errors early in the compilation process! There is another version?
Yes, I am using the path C: \ Silent, short one
The build is good, all files generated with no errors! The problem is only at the end of the installation! A very weird thing!
Sorry for the inconvenience!

I'm using Windows Seven x86 with administrator rights

in screenshot highlighted part MUST say A ( ansi )

Don't worry about it! I will try again and if i can solve the problem, I post the solution!

Let me say thanks again for your feedback!
You've done a really good job!

Yes, so I'm using the ANSI version of the Inno Setup! As said before, the UNICODE version now generates errors early on compiling!

Weird, very strange ...
