[CANCELLED] Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
Hi everyone!
I’ve managed to create a new installer for Rayman 2 (PC) that works on newer systems.
PM me with proof that you own the game for a download link.

Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
Snagglebee already created one a while ago.
Besides, the Rayman 2 installer only fails on Windows 7 64-bit systems, but that can be fixed by installing the Installshield Wrapper. Also, serial numbers? Really? You are putting DRM in an unofficial installer?

Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
Yep, serial numbers! I don’t wanna let members who don’t have a legal copy of the game to use the installer, as it contains the game’s files.RibShark wrote:Also, serial numbers? Really? You are putting DRM in an unofficial installer?
Okay, I’m going to remove the serial protection. However I’ll still have to ask members for proof that they own the game.

Hi I am not so good at the programming work, but would like to know how to use the Installshield Wrapper for installing I mean make "setup.exe on CD" work in newer systems ?RibShark wrote:Snagglebee already created one a while ago.

I installed this wrapper, and noticed that it is installed to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\InstallShield, now what the next step to install Rayman 2?
Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
I can send you an updated installer that’ll work without issues on newer systems without having to mess around with the InstallShield wrapper.IIITA wrote:Hi I am not so good at the programming work, but would like to know how to use the Installshield Wrapper for installing I mean make "setup.exe on CD" work in newer systems ?

Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
Or you can just copy the files from the disc to your computer as that's pretty much what an installer does... Much easier if you ask me.

Yeah I know, but I was bored and I just felt like making one.Carrot-master wrote:Or you can just copy the files from the disc to your computer as that's pretty much what an installer does... Much easier if you ask me.

As of 12 June 2016, in Windows 10 Pro 64 bit OS original installer on game CD worked and setting "Rayman2.exe" compatibility to "Windows 98/Me" the game started !! No need for "install shield" now.
Although the game screen is stretched horizontally but it was corrected editing "ubi.ini" file in \Windows\Ubisoft.
As for the "Windowsed screen" I must install "nGlide 1.05" to get "full screen" mode.

"Rayman 2 Windowed Mode fix.zip"
OK now, I can paly "Rayman 2" in full screen mode in Windows 10 Pro 64bit !!

How can an installer fix that??? That's a game issue, not install issue.Fifo wrote:Btw my installer also fixes the “CD missing” issue some people have.
Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
My installer copies a no-CD executable to the system.Carrot-master wrote:How can an installer fix that??? That's a game issue, not install issue.Fifo wrote:Btw my installer also fixes the “CD missing” issue some people have.

Thank you Fifo for your no-cd fix.Fifo wrote:My installer copies a no-CD executable to the system.Carrot-master wrote:How can an installer fix that??? That's a game issue, not install issue.Fifo wrote:Btw my installer also fixes the “CD missing” issue some people have.
I meant the original game CD's installer now worked in Windows 10 Pro 64bit, but still needs game CD to play.
But using your installer Rayman2.exe was replaced by no-cd exe, oh it is very handy !!
Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
That’s what I wanted to resolve. People who have CD copies of the game and don’t wanna purchase the game again can use my installer.IIITA wrote:I meant the original game CD's installer now worked in Windows 10 Pro 64bit, but still needs game CD to play.
By the way, unfortunately, my installer doesn’t have those two racing progress bars the original installer has. Advanced Installer doesn’t support current file copy progress in a ProgressBar control.

Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
You've done some great work here.
Can you please provide the executable which has the no-CD patch? I could only find one link for it on the web, and it seems to be down.
I do own the game, I do not need the full installer (I use an old Win98/ME system to run it anyways). I do need the no-CD exe, because I'm tired of having to have the CD in the drive. If you can please send just the EXE, or a reliable link to it on the web? Or, if you want to be 100% certain it will only be used for legitimate purposes, instructions on how to hex-patch the original EXE to remove the CD check?

Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
So did Snagglebee. So we have three different people making them. Same purpose. At least if one's download link goes bad, there's a fall back for those who don't wish to get it through GOG.gamerz31w wrote:If I'm not wrong Adsolution made 64-bits installer for Rayman 2 PC.
Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
Well I have the GOG version...
Re: Rayman 2 – installer for newer systems
Don't worry about the installer for Windows 10 64bit, I found that Rayman 2 can be installed normally from game CD to Windows 10 Pro 64bit as of 22 Feb. 2016.Hoodcom wrote:So did Snagglebee.

W10 has been updated to build 1511 and got some incremental updates onto build 1511 now.
In this environment, I ran SetupUbi.exe on CD with no compatibility and finished the installation successfully.
Running GXSetup.exe without any compatibility ;

EDIT;
Of cause you need CD inserted in the drive as far as you installed R2 with the original retail CD.
