Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine

("J3D", "Jones3D")

A game by LucasArts

*Unofficial* MSI Setup v1.1.0.0 by Markus Egger

Installation instructions

Note 1: This setup uses WiX' VolumeLabel functionality which requires the CD to be correctly labelled ("J3d_ver1_1" for CD 1).

Note 2: I only have the German Infernal Machine CD at my disposal ("Der Turm von Babel") so beware of any international issues! The file names, however, look very language-neutral; because of this I'm optimistic that the installer might work fine with English and other versions. It's already been tested and works with the Italian version. Let me know of any problems you may encounter.

Uninstallation note: Seems I presumed too much MSI knowledge from the user base. There is no "separate" uninstaller; MSIs are self-contained and thus maintained using Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs. Use ARP to repair or remove any MSI-based installation. Regarding my setups, search for strings beginning with Star Wars:. The (un)install capabilities of the LucasArts Launcher or any other uninstall links won't work for obvious reasons!
When removing MSIs, Windows Installer doesn't remove any registry or filesystem items (files, folders) that have not been part of the installation process itself. As a result, pilot files, mods or configuration files may be left behind during uninstallation. This is expected behavior and I don't really want to mess with that because I prefer a defensive approach as well. Just think upgrade packages would delete your pilot files ...
It's up to the user to backup and/or delete these remaining files/folders.
If there is anything that doesn't match the pattern above, tell me. If there's something I can fix, I will.

• Prerequisites - download and install from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/
  (refer to Add/Remove Programs whether they are already installed on your machine):
  • Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable
    (for Windows 2000)
    - or -
    Windows Installer 4.5
    (for Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windows Vista)
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
    (grab the one with the latest Service Pack level - SP1 at the time of this writing;
    for this MSI, the x86 redist is obligatory - the x64 redist alone won't work!)
    Note! Since I upgraded to VS 2008, you will now need the 2008 runtime (not 2005)!
  • KB917607 - Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) for Windows Vista; not needed for the installer but for the in-game help.
• Create a temporary folder on your hard disk (eg. C:\J3d_ver1_1) - about 700 MiB free space is needed.
• Copy the contents of your Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine CD 1 to that folder - but beware of the dummy files being part of the copy protection! Just skip/DON'T copy:
  • CD.IDX
  • _
  (in case there is any protection on your CD at all)
• Let this self-extracting archive extract to that folder (eg. C:\J3d_ver1_1).
• There should be 3 new files in your temporary folder:
  • Instructions.html (this file; may be deleted at discretion)
  • Jones3D.ico
  • Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine.msi
• You may create a folder named Support within the temporary folder.
• You can get the version 1.2 patch at:
  
  • http://www.lucasarts.com/support/update/indy-im.html
• As stated above, you may place the VC/MSI redistributables, patch, useful files and the source setup package in the Support folder.
• Burn the contents of your temporary Infernal Machine folder (! - not the folder itself) to a blank CD-R and label it accordingly in the CD burning program of your choice (eg. Nero). The original label of CD 1 usually is: J3d_ver1_1
• Use your new "Installation CD" to install Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine on your computer by double-clicking on
  • Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine.msi directly.
• !!! Obligatory: To be on the safe side, use your original Infernal Machine CDs for playing from now on. There might be copy protection, missing CD-Audio or stuff like that. Store your new "Installation CD" in a safe place ;-)
• !!! Obligatory: Please install the version 1.2 patch.
• !!! Obligatory: Don't forget about the Vista WinHlp32.exe update (KB917607) or you won't be able to use/view the game help.
• A little goodie for Creative Labs ALchemy users:
  
  [Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine]
RegPath=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC\Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine\v1.0\Install Path
Buffers=5
Duration=10
  
  
• Launch/enjoy the game!
• (Uninstallation see above - but who really wants to do that? Just kidding ;-) )

Disclaimer

This setup is Freeware and a gift for the community. It shall ease the pain of all fellows in misery failing to install this game on Vista x64 (and other modern Windows operating systems like XP64). It is neither supported nor endorsed by LucasArts. Use at your own risk! Original CD required (developed/tested using Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine German version ("Der Turm von Babel") - may or may not work with English/other localized editions).
MSI tested under Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 and Windows XP Pro SP3 (x86).

You may only redistribute the original archive when done free of charge and all files are left intact (no additions, removals or alterations).

The MSI is fully Standards-compliant: It passes all ICE validation tests except ICE66 - which is an irrelevant warning since the MSI is not meant to be Vista-only (tested with WiX Light v3.0.4513.0 and Orca v4.5.6001.0).
