Why not simply use external Setup.ini???

Setup.ini

//RunAsAdmin=                   // 0 / 1
//ManifestID=                   // integer

And I wondering why this game isn't in the database.

Both games have different folders my Conversion use the El_a*m*g*s
and Danziel123 use the r*z*r

[KaktoR]

And now what? I downloaded both.

The only difference is that GTAIV.exe is in root folder in rzr release.
In the other one GTAIV.exe is in a subfolder.

So my shared Setup.ini is perfect for the rzr version.

[kj911]

How come the installed size of the current pirated version is ~9GB smaller than the previous versions released in 1-2-3+ years ago?

Does the rzr installation package support all methods available from Diskspan? How much can we gain if we compress with LOLZ instead of LZMA?
UPD: Checked alternative install package, its yes!
