I'm going to attempt to mod this once more, I have the 2012 re-release version and do remember reading that this is pointless until the Bootleg 40 version.
Is that true?
The next Bootleg is going to ask which version of the game is installed. If it's a 2012 version, then it will do the conversion and registry update automatically.
Other statement before I begin is do I need to somehow remove that registry add before I start this process again.
What are some things you need to clean out to make sure your doing a fresh install.
You don't have to remove the registry each time. My typical process for a fresh install is: Uninstall FF7Music --> Uninstall FF7 --> Check to see if FF7 directory left over any junk files and delete the entire folder --> Reboot --> Install FF7 --> Kranmer's Converter + update registry (2012 version only) --> Run Bootleg --> Configure Bootloader --> Play FF7
If you're worried about the registry files, then you can always run a registry cleaner (e.g. CCleaner) before you Install FF7.
I'm installing fresh download of FF7 in Games/FF7 and then I have all the downloaded mods in a desktop folder.
Do not attempt installing the mods from a system folder (e.g. a Desktop folder). Place the mods within a non-system folder (e.g. ...\Games\FF7Mods) or Windows will deny access to some of them and they won't install properly.
Please make sure any Anti-Virus and/or Firewall software is disabled before running Bootleg.
Turn off UAC or allow Bootleg.exe to "Run as Administrator" before running Bootleg.
The youtube video of this tutorial is that updated for the 2012 Version? I know it says it is, but I feel its somewhat different process in some cases.
I know this is lengthy

It is the 2012 version. I fast forwarded through the Bootleg install as I was just trying to edit it to the music, so it is missing some details. I am thinking about making another one that includes the details for a Bootleg install. But then again, it's all outlined in this Tutorial thread so I'm not sure yet if I should spend time on that.
