repackaged Throne of Bhaal patch

[lynx]

Does someone have the tob 26498 patch in non-EXE format? It's an installshield installer, so my usual methods fail. Did anyone already try to extract the files separately or compared a vanilla tob with the after-patch one? I want its payload without the installer cruft.

 

It's needed for trivial installation of tob on exotic platforms without proper windows or wine. The main game can be easily installed with unshield, but that one works directly on cabinet files only, not when they're packaged up into an installer.

Winrar will allow you to extract the BGII Throne of Bhaal Patch .exe into the seperate components.

Using UniExtrator it is possible to extract data1.cab to a subdir

Using iscab i only got a list of files - from data1.cab it seems. Dont know about data2.cab as there is no corresponding data2.hdr file, but reading some forums suggests the -l option will show all files from all data cabs.

 

 

This is the output from: iscab data1.cab -i"test.txt" -L

Anyhow not sure if any of that will help. Hopefully it will give you a starting point.

Thanks, winrar did it (the free unrar couldn't handle it). Uniextractor failed here before with the version 3/5/6 installshield extractors, but this is now irrelevant - the data was just an unshield/cabextract away.
