4. Save and compile

I don't understand 'compile' compile what?

Edit: Oh now I get it. I found the answer in another thread: you're supposed to download and install an app called Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php).

You should really have mentioned this in the instructions.

5. Will create two folders, Disk 1 and Disk 2 folder inside the "compiled":

These folders were not created by the .iss script. Unless you meant to we have to create them manually. Also, there's no "compiled" directory. The new installer files were created in the root directory of the .iss script.

Move to the Disk 2:

Redist Folder

There's no Redist Folder in the folder containing the new installer files and the .iss script. I assume you mean we should copy the Redist Folder from the contents of the original DVD9 disks.

It is basic knowledge that you compile Inno Setup scripts (hence *.iss) with Inno Setup. It's not going to be repeated in every actual conversion.

Well, Inno v.5.5.3 Unicode does not work. The script runs, but during a test install I get a message that some file is corrupted. Tried recompiling 4 times, got a different corrupt file each time.

Downloaded several older versions of Inno. At last I was able to create a reliable installer with version 5.4.3 Unicode.

THIS is why it's important for the author to mention in the instructions what software he used, and also which version.
