Might and Magic Heroes VII (3xDVD5) CIU V2 + UltraARC

Thanks to Yener for script, Razor12911 for modifications.

3xDVD5.
Compression method: srep + exe + exe2 + delta + lzma.

1. Download attachment, extract to HD, NOT in Gamefolder.

2. Move the following files from game's installed directory to the extracted folder (MAMH7_1\_CommonRedist\...):

- From the folder Support\DirectX move all files to:
MAMH7_1\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010

- From the folder Support\DotNet move the file to:
MAMH7_1\_CommonRedist\DotNet\4.0

- From the folder Support\Microsoft move all files to:
MAMH7_1\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010

3. Run UltraARC_mod, Browse/Select Your installed game, then choose output location. In Options select the compression level.









For users of Windows 10 who experience problems of slow loading setup, thanks for the information KaktoR :

Rename extension to arc or something else or move all cab files to a folder like cabs or something else. windows 10 scans the first cab file constantly when they are in the same folder as Setup.exe.

In UltraARC.ini edit this line before compressing:

[Distribution]
ArchivePrefixName=Data
ArchiveExtension=cab

to:

ArchiveExtension=bin

the reason is very slow windows 10 window defender is constantly scanning that exe.disable that excuse for a antivirus.and see the difference.

Also install Ms Visual C++ 2008 2010 2012 also Ms Dotnet 4.

It is not better to change the file extension to .bin to avoid disable defender ?, there is a disadvantage in the .bin extension ?

@omdj: maybe you can add info regarding win10 and cab extension to OP so users can see this for sure.
