I have installed it in C:\Jeux\FINAL FANTASY VII  as mentionned since my first post.

But ! I think I have found my problem. Even by checking the option "Run as administrator" on all exe, it didn't worked, so I used the command line "net users Administrator /active:yes"  to activate the real admin session on win7, runned bootleg from it, and it is actually installing. I even set the temp folder on an external drive, for more chances.

I think I have a bit too much modify my win7, and it's maybe time to format for me >.>'

I'll tell you if it had worked !
 
So, I had arrived to this conclusion : those files are INSIDE Bootleg.exe.

That's right  ;D


MY QUESTION : If the files are in the folder and in Bootleg.exe, why does it not working ? :(

Order to above mentioned files to unpack it needs about 310 MB free space on the system partition.
If space is not available or the data are extracted and written too slowly to disk, the 'Sprinkles.7z' may not found.

Hold the Bootleg.exe (CMD box) with the pause button briefly and wait until the hard drive is ready.


EDIT: BFE.exe and Bootleg.exe request automatic admin rights.

I never imagined that the speed of writing could change something... Interesting ! :o

It's still installing, no problem happen till now. Seems that my usual session have just rights problems, after all :/

EDIT : working ! :D

EDIT 2 : Well.... The modding routine finished correctly, with no errors or warning, but when I tried to launch FF7, It crashed when clicking "new game", and I have no sound or music :( here's a copy of APP.LOG :

EDIT 3 :  Remembering all the useless tries I've done, I decided to remove everything and to re install everything from Zero, and now it does perfectly work. The files of the game were corrupted with all my manips, and it caused the APP.LOG you can see above. Everything is fine now. Thank you ! :)

Hey, a lot of these links for mods need checking over, a good 80% of the ones linked to a Google Drive are broken. Suggest changing this to the Mega.co.nz one from the Bulk download section.
