Haha, how strange.  Well there's an uninstaller.exe in the FFVII directory after you install, I was having trouble so I decided to click it, it was all set after a half second and the backup folder was gone and the lgp sizes were that of the original again so I just assumed that's what it did.
The beauty of it all is that the only changes it makes are to the .lgps (no registry work or fancy things that could leave traces or damages) so once the old .lgps are back everything is Exactly how it was before you ran the uninstaller.

EDIT:  Also, I'm noticing some issues with summons.  It seems that some textures that use transparency don't always appear transparent so black boxes will flicker around them.  Also, on summons like KOTOR when multiple images are layered on top of each other and moving (like the cosmic background) there will be breaks and cracks at seams where you wouldn't see normally.  They're jagged and geometric.  I'm not quite sure why this is.

I need screens, this may be something to do with the new graphics driver that i will have to fix with the textures
 
I know this really isn't the place but how do you take in game screens in FFVII?
 
I've never taken the time to download anything special for it, so I just use 'print screen' for in game shots and enlarge them just a bit for anyone that needs to see them, they usually come out ok.
 
I did my clean install and so far everything works (except for some crash I have when entering Kalm, but I'm pretty positive it is unrelated)

List 'o complaints
1.)  The Temp folder is still in my directory... and I like my directories as clean as possible  :x
2.)  What happened to the limit bars?  When I used one of the initial releases they had been changed to a darker green and pink.. now they are faded again?
3.)  The .ico icons that I think titeguy3 made should be included
4.)  32-bit is preferable to 24-bit as is evidenced by the amount of errors I see in my crash.dmp and app.log  :-P
5.)  If you can somehow rename the uninstaller to AVALANCHE Uninstaller, that would help clear up any confusion someone might have if they just want to uninstall the mod, but unintentionally uninstall the game.
6.)  Awesome work!

Sorry i didnt get back to you about this. Must have missed looking at this post. As for your issues:

1) Good catch, will be fixed for the final release
2) The installer was compiled with an older set of files, will be fixed in the final.
3) Not really sure what you mean by this. Do you want it to change the icon for the ff7 game somehow?
4) Already know this, they will all be 32 bit in the final
5) Good idea, consider it done (By the way the uninstaller section is not even written yet)
6) Thanks  :-D

Any other ideas guys let me know
 
For 3) there was/is a thread somewhere around here where Covarr posted up pics of his Desktop icons for FF7.  Then someone else (titeguy3?) released the ones he made.   I'm too lazy to search for it, but it was very well done.  There was one for the the config.exe as well I think.

My Crash Log and APP.

http://www.mediafire.com/?mymqkmy22lw

With this installer in use, i cannot enter/exit towns, or my airship bridge, with out the game crashing.
O.o;;
I am using the world map texture replacement by Pyro...
but it has the same error without it... but only if i use the installer,the other batch files worked fine...
 but that is earlier releases..o.o;;
 
ok, I re-installed Aali's custom graphics driver (the previous version, rather than the newest) and then reinstalled the GUI loader.  It seems to have worked.  A couple things I noticed.  My game is still running at 640x480 (my monitor doesnt have a high enough res to use the high res patch and I don't know if there's a way to load resolutions between the two), but all the fonts look funny.  They changed, but they're not clear like in the screenshots that have been posted.  Also, there is now a delay opening menus (start menu, in-game menu, etc).  It now takes 2-3 seconds before the screen comes up.

Other than that, things look like theyre working alright.

Yeah the game will look funny at a 640x480 res. Open up the ff7_opengl.cfg and change the resolution in there. And the delay for menu's and such are unavoidable.

Don't use .7.2.  Use .7.1 for now until Aali releases a new version.


Drocpsu, use Aali's custom graphic driver .7.1.  The Saint's Hi res patch is now outdated
