Hey guys i need your help testing out the new installer for the avalanche overhaul.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RE6V17V6

If you install it and then decide you wish to use an optional component instead just redo the installation and only select the component u wish and it will change the files for that component (eg. color vs alternate world map)

Please post any problems in this topic.

Note: The installer checks if you have aali's driver installed and configured. If it isnt it will tell you and not allow any further progress.
         The install image and license agreement are just defaults for now. Ignore them
 
Tried it out

the interface was nice not too cluttered easy to understand

checked the folder all the files i selected where there none i didn't want

not sure if it is supposed to repack the .LPG's  or pack them at all because  i don't have FF7 installed

don't know if this is an issue but it didn't check if FF7 was installed

It only checks the registry for the ff7 install directory. It repacks lgp's if it finds them (in your case it will not).
 
tried it today. It replaced my hi res menu avatars (no big deal).

Played on a little, no problems whatsoever.

I only used it to reinstall the 2DO as I wasn't sure it was working right. Already had barrett. Didn't use the world map as I had issues with that described in another thread.


The installer worked just fine

Edited to say: sorry should have said...Win 7 X64

Hm... It worked fine before the install? But now, it is asking for a movie plug-in?

yeah... or it is saying it can't find/ load it.
 
yes... I do. I am going to try and re download Aali's drivers.
That re download... turned into a full scale re-install... most of my LGPs are shot.. due to my excessive personal mods. :D
I will get back to you, if it still doesn't work afterward.

Broken Crowe

EDIT:
A reinstall of the game and Aali's drivers did the charm. My FF7 Folder was getting messy O.O...
Lol.
Sorry for the waste of space.

The installer seems to be working fine. :D

My FF7 is also ridiculously overmodded, so when I do a clean install I'll let you know how this installer works
 
So, this installer will only work if you don't have modded files? Because I don't have the latest Team Avalanche mods on my FF7.

It should work fine regardless of if the files are already modded. But thats why this test is there. Try it out, tell me what happens.
 
WIn7 x64 RTM

ff7music had some issue so I took out my lgps that had changes that I wanted to keep (world map, char, battle) and did a full, clean, deleted folders and shortcuts, cleared the registry uninstall then full install.  Applied aali's driver, replaced the lgps and ff7/config, applied the main menu mod, then your awesome installer and voila.  Like magic everything is magnificent.

Excellent work, this is rivaling aali's driver in terms of sheer awesomeness (though the driver is what allowed the project to kick off).

The only thing I might add is on the opening page state in all caps to not exit the installer before the close button appears.  Some might think it's locked up when really it's just repacking the archives.  I didn't do it, most anyone who's browsed here more than a week wouldn't do it, but for new guys it would be helpful.

Just to inform you the installer backs up all the lgp's that it works on so there is no need to back them up. If you wish to revert just copy the lgp's from backup files back to the original places (until i get an uninstaller working)
 
Installer worked perfectly. no issues what-so-ever very clean, very informative. And best of all. works with Win7 x64 :-D
 
The uninstaller works fine since it just deletes the new .lgps and replaces them with the backed up ones and those are the only changes it makes.  A very good system.

The issue was that I recently upgraded from the RC to the RTM and some of the installed programs had a few kinks, this one included.  No issues related to the beta driver or this project.
