Has the Install Movies to Hard drive option worked for anyone?  Have not had any feedback on it, it is a really requested feature and now its as easy as clicking Maximum install!

Yes, The 106 AVI files copied over fine.
I wasn't able to play them with Windows Media Player, though.
I downloaded VLC for Windows and was able to play them just fine.

Thanks

Great to hear it worked!  The files need a special codec to be played such as DirectShow (It comes bundled on the original FF7 Install CD).

As for next version, some more developer tools will be bundled in the build to help with custom installs.  Be careful using these if you do not know how they work.

If you read more closely, the errors you've linked to look nothing like your error. The others do not describe a problem with the path, which is what yours is complaining about.

Which path are you trying to install to?


In related news, I get the following exception, the second it should start installing the game files, to the following directory

@Ultroman: Thanks for the hint (spaces). But i did not use any spaces.

If you read more closely, the errors you've linked to look nothing like your error. The others do not describe a problem with the path, which is what yours is complaining about.

I did read the postings i mentioned   ;D
My english is good enough to understand what they have written.

Though not being able to change the install path could cause some issues with 7th Heaven...

In the past whenever I've installed to the windows program folders it has caused it not to work, probably because of the protection on them so I always installed it to games/FF7 but I will test later and let you know :)

Could this be because I'm trying to install to a non default location for modding with 7th heaven? It says don't use program files or program files x86 or users but I get this error trying my own choices.


And as it seems, you have the same problem with or without using spaces.
Btw, if i don't change the default Destination Folder the installer runs like a charm.

In the meanwhile i created some virtual machines (VMware) for testing purposes.
I hope i am more precisely now and it helps to recover the error.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

This appears to be a logical bug in the installer and will be addressed on the next release.
In the mean time play around with the config value DESTINATIONFOLDER=DEFAULT and the debug menu / variable editor see if you can get something to work!

I have given you all full access to all the variables the installer uses, so you pretty much have a built in debugger GUI, see what you can figure out. (Not many programs offer this!)
To access this feature select Debug from the Installer Coordinator menu and use the [Refresh] and [Apply] buttons to send your values to the installer!
If you find a combination that works save it to the .INI with the [Save .INI] button and load your saved .INI files with [Load .INI]

PS: The value "DEFAULT" in strings is a special command and tells the program to figure it out on its own.
~Happy debugging!~

I had just recently found your installer and it is the closest iv'e ever gotten to running FFVII on my windows 10 PC but I have one issue, The movies will not play no matter what I do.



P.S. I know this is really out of the blue given that the last post on this thread was in 2015 but if someone knows how to fix this issue i'd greatly appreciate it.

Hello there!

Very exited to see this installer, I downloaded it and use the isos from my 98's discs.

The installationwas completed, I changed the registry in order to ensure the game look for my iso but once I try to execute the game, nothing happens, At best a little flicking in the screen and then, nothing. What should I do?

Thank you.

Even though I fear the author of this Windows 10 Installer is no longer active/supporting this software and even if I also fear there is very little interest in it since most players are surely using the Steam release, I was wondering if someone may help me understand something already reported by some user years ago. Namely, when you run the Configuration tool after the installation, it is no longer possible to choose Hardware Renderer. Only the Software mode is available. I guess this may depend on the fact that my graphic card's missing in the Display choices. There only the "Primary Display" option is available.

I'm going to play the game with either Aali's driver or (more likely) FFxN so perhaps the Configuration settings would be meaningless in that case?

Thanks to anyone who may provide an answer.

EDIT: All above is rather pointless since I am experiencing the same issue posted by Masamita just above. The game does not even start. There is a flickering and it goes back to desktop. If I maximize the FF7 window there then I only look at a black screen. On top of that, how do I get to uninstall this now? There is no such option and it is also missing from Windows 10's own Uninstall Programs feature... What a mess.
