Considering the way the lang files are compressed in this conversion (The "audio" folder AND only one "speech"):

Well... that may work!
At very least, after unpacking the installer, there were no registry entries related to different languages. There were no reg entries at all! So go ahead and it should work.

THIS or use Yener's conversion: http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=92962

[OFF] And BTW, the instructions given in this conversion are even in the same order as the "instructions" in Yener's converter... =X
Plus, nice to see a very simple, yet pretty, installer. But avoid the... personal logos in it next time, ok?

[chester444]

no, you can only delete all the folders and leave only "eng" and "ita"

[chester444]

Yener's has not invented anything, and the steps I follow in my conversion, so you know, my post was created long before your friend Yener's, for the next conversion will not put logos personal, but a firm as it does Yener's on if I put my signature but not a logo. who likes the version of Yener's ahead! go to the post of Yener's. and comment on the post of Yener's.

[chester444]

should not worry about the registry entries, as is steam verison, choose the language to add language selector FLT.

Ok, but...

Considering there are NO registry restrictions or (for now) something that SCREW the game, should people use another languages other than english, so why just "eng" and "ita" (I'll understand if "eng" is "obrigatory" for convert in any another language)?
Plus, the languages avaliable in your installer are "eng" and "spa". Of course it doesn' mean anything but...
EDIT: Ok, conversion now has proper explanation.

Not so long: Your post was done in 28-05-2012, 23:02; Yener's in 29-05-2012, 09:41 (Roughly ten hours)

That's because it's NOT everyone who likes to see their own backups looking like something they downloaded from "the DAMN scene". Take a look:
-> Yener's version for Starcraft 2 (No logo):

-> Peterf's version for F.3.A.R. (No logo, other than the game's logo:

-> Catalyst version of Crysis 2 (Scene repacker logo):


No, seriously. Go look for ALL the previous custom installers here. See if anyone had some "personal logo" in the installer images.

I just quoted. I not even noted the "loooooooooooooooooooooong time" between posts... Being so, sorry for that, but seriously, that's a fine, yet simple, installer of yours.

KillerOh, first, before you criticize, I would like to see your Pors, my dear genius!, I would like you to stop into my posts, if it bothers you so much my logo, one way or another, each creating an installer parsona leaves its mark in some way, my way is to put logo, go fight somewhere else KillerOh, people who do not value the contributions of others!.

The language is independent of the game, the installer is in the language (ENGLISH and SPANISH). you choose, bye!

[Joe Forster/STA]

Please, stop the fighting. Also, edit your posts and remove non-constructive comments before I do.

chester444, both of you are right and neither of you is so I won't take sides. However, I also recommend that you either leave out your logo from your conversion(s) entirely or make a note about how to remove it/do the conversion without it. Otherwise, you'll get more of complaints about such unusual (on this forum) stuff which will frustrate you even more. This is just how things work, you can't change it.

My... what?
Oh, you mean this, this (Both thanks for Skeraxe), this, this, this or this?
Indeed, I'm not a coder, which doesn't mean I cannot make an opnion about something here, or even provide some help (See RO2 custom installer's topic). But then, everyone misunderstood! =/

Believe me, I won't be the only one:

I've asked that because InnoSetup is able to "restrict" some content to be installer depending of the language...

Y'know, just SCREW it. Your installer is nice, yet simple. AND I LIKE simple installers. Good work.

KillerOh leave the discussion aside, there are times when a person misinterprets the views, also I apologize friend, from now on perfecting ire and accepting suggestions for future conversions.
