Hello everyone.
Has there been any new methods someone has found for steam users wanting to use the patcher? I as well am having trouble with finding the "InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer"

Thanks for any help you all can give.

The downloaded icfv_3.rar package requires a password to extract which is "Dreamer".

Hi Kevin

I have taken the full Tutorial from Post #1 and included your Post #83 and put it all in to my Tutorial Post #161

I have also taken the Download Link from your Post #83 and added it to my Download Links section.

I could never understand why sirrawrsalot did not include the full tutorial instructions.

Default pulling my hair out

Has anyone figured out how to extract the sh5.exe from the 1.2 patch without using the cabinet file viewer (cfv). I downloaded the cfv on the link provided in this thread but can't get it to run.

If it is as simple as replacing the steam sh5.exe with the DVD sh5.exe why can't someone just upload the sh5.exe from their DVD installation or for that file to be included in the generic patcher? Or would that be a TOS violation?

I got it to work with the CFV, and patched my Steam-game yesterday. Worked like a charm! You need to follow the doc to the letter.

Getting the CFV to work is really the hardest part of this. In my case, I had to download two files from Microsoft. It is documented in THEBERBSTER's Tutorial Post #161 where you download the files, and how to make them work. The error message from the CFV will tell you which file(s) you're missing.

What I did, that is not mentioned in the tutorial, is that I ran my zip-tools and the cmd-line as administrator (right click-> run as administrator). Since you're dealing with system files, I figured it would be less hassle this way.

I'm running Windows 10.
