I've finally found a good program to create an installer with custom options.
The installer automatically detects the EM4, 911:FR or Deluxe directory (and mod folder) by checking registry entries.
Screens of an EXAMPLE of how the installer of v1.9 might look like:
So basicly, this makes installing the LA Mod just as easy as before.
And now I'm going to continue on the map again......

SO, just curious what would 1.9 be without the new map, i see you gave the option, would 1.9 add anything else( I know its been asked but I'm asking about 1.9(the mod itself) not the new map)

I want to steal you installer for my Mod!
I wish you can install new maps without having to replace a map. I would like it if we could add a buttons to play other maps in game.

That's unfortunately not possible and that's also why I made an installer so people can choose what freeplay map they want; the normal one or the new one. I used Inno Setup 5 to make the installer, so you need some scripting experience to build a similar one, even if I give you my source code.

His custom install information attatched to the installer is what requires the scripting, generally the installer application software should be able to install things like patches and what not from what I know about the program. If you wish to have options you would have to make scripts in order for it to function correctly.

Nice job Hoppah. Happy to see the mod coming along. The installer and the map both look great. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I was curious about the size of the mod in an .exe file compared to the .e4mod file.
So I packed v1.8 into an .exe file as a test. Comparable results:
Installed (fully unpacked): 296 MB
.e4mod file: 195 MB
.exe file (default compression): 155 MB
.exe file (solid compression method): 144 MB
That will save some traffic when I release v1.9.
