Hey Kompass63, I decided to post here instead of cluttering up the other thread.  Saw the FAQ, looks like I need at least 5 post before I can PM.
In any case, I did the command you told me to try, its output is:

a
b
c
d

Thanks.

Hey Kompass63, I saw your PM, but I can't send a reply so I'll post it here hoping you will read it.

Running CHCP in my CMD, it's output is: "Active code page: 437"

Thanks

Hi quitit,

In the game folder there should be a file "FF7_GC.log", please look for it and post it here.
I can go through the game Converter just in 27 seconds
If it takes longer than 2 minutes without something is happening, then you can abort (ctrl + c) ...
The question prompt of "REG DELETE Y/N?" should not arise, it should be deleted without question.
Also, there is no situation where the Compat flags are cleared several times.
At this moment I strongly suspect that your system is faulty somewhere.
Try to test the RAM with a test program...
I also have connected multiple hard drives that will not disturb the Game Converter.
Find.exe is a CMD command that is included in any Windows, the game Converter used frequently this command.
? ? ?
The Game Converter does not access the "System Volume Information" which may not be the folder that can not be accessed.
30GB are for the Game Converter more than enough, Bootleg needs afterwards so much space.

Hey Kompass63, sorry about my late reply.  I just decided to just plug in only the necessary drives that have the game.
I ran the GameConverter and it goes through and says my installation is in a "System Folder", but it’s not, it’s in my "G:\" drive with this directory structure: "G:\Games\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII", I also did a symlink from my "C:\Games\" directory to point to my "G:\Games\" directory.  Anyways, it copies the files to "C:\Games\FF7" (remember this is a symbolic link, I don't know if this will screw up with the GameConverter).  It then cannot find: "ff7.exe" and could not remove the registry, "ff7config.exe" and could not remove the registry, and finally "ff7music.exe" and could not remove the registry.  Then it said "Set own Registry Keys..." then "Setting language to en...", then it says it cannot find the drive with the "FF7DISC1" label which I mounted to a virtual drive "F:\" and also burned the ISO to a CD and put it back in to my real DVD drive, I also noticed the GameConverter was trying to find the "FF7DISC1" in my "I:\" drive, but since I removed it, it could not find the directory, so I added several more virtual CD drives to include an "I:\" drive.
I could not find the "FF7_GC.log" in my "Games" directory.
Any assistance would be much appreciated  .

Here are some screen shots:

No "FF7_GC.log" file:


My "FF7DISC1" naming of the drive:

Hey Kompass63, I've been trying to convert my steam version and I have been getting issues with it, I posted it in the sticky "[Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg" thread so I'll just link to the message I sent there that describes my issue: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13212.msg211735#msg211735

I haven't been successful at installing the mods to my Steam version of FF7.

I followed the instructions on the first page of the first poster of this thread, starting at:
"NOTE: Be careful not to install with Steam inside a system folder, such as Program Files or Program Files (x86)."
So I installed FF7 on my "G:\" hard drive into a folder called "Games" at the root level of this drive, so it looks like this: "G:\Games\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII"
I download the FF7 empty ISO and mounted it with a virtual drive.

Then I followed the first step which was:
"Step 1: Read, download, and run the latest version of FF7 Game Converter."
I ran the game converter exe as "Run as administrator" by right clicking the exe and clicking that option.
The command line interface (CMD) window runs and prints out my windows OS version and it's bit type, which is windows 7 64-bit.
It shows where it found a reference to the FF7 installation, but since I reinstalled FF7 from the seam default directory (C:\Program Files\Steam\...) to the current "G:\" drive I installed it to, the Game Converter prints out the old directory is the place where FF7 is installed.
I inputted "G:\Games\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII" as the location since that's what the Game Converter prompt tells me to do if the tool does not find the correct FF7 installation directory.
The CMD window just hangs, since it looked like it was doing nothing for a long time, I let the Game Converter do its thing overnight and when I came back to the PC the CMD window just had a prompt that said: "Removed CompatFlags from "ff7config.exe"" over and over with a question prompt of "REG DELETE Y/N?" right after the previous message, but I couldn't type in the CMD window at all.  I decided to kill the process by pressing "ctrl+c".

I tried the Game Converter as my user account, and not administrator. Same symptoms as described above happens.
I tried entering "G:\Games\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII" without the quotation marks, still the same behavior.

I notice that while the Game Converter is running, a "find.exe" process is running, I assume this is searching for FF7 installation files and registry keys and might be the cause of my problem due to my odd PC setup (more than the normal HDD of common PC setup).
I also notice that the Game Converter will output "can't access directory", but that's because its trying to access the directory of "System Volume Information" for each drive, and is a hidden protected directory.

Any suggestion would be helpful.

My system specs are:
Windows 7 64-bit SP1 + all the updates currently, Disabled UAC since day one of windows installation.
Intel I7 920 stock speed.
12 GB DDR3
Nvidia 650Ti
Asus AC Wi-Fi NIC
1 real physical DVD-RW drive (D:\)
1 virtual drive (P:\)
Multiple hard drives:
C:\ (Samsung 830 256GB, only Windows OS and some games that I want to boot up quickly, 30 GB free).
E:\ (1TB Western Digital Black Edition, used for installation of programs and misc files)
G:\ (1TB Samsung, multimedia files and where I installed FF7)
and 8 other HDD.
