Need Help With Install Protocol~

[NightRevolt 10]

Hello everyone, first of all, the reason i'm writing this it's because i tried installing my first eroge on the site (actually second, but the other Eroge i downloaded was full and didn't need english patches, i dont had to do nothing, only download and click to play).

I installed yesterday all 9 parts of Violated Hero 3, just to see if i could instlal one eroge right, plus the english patch, im pretty sure nothing went wrong so far, but my question is how to combine them into only one game? because when i try to extract, it says there are some stuff with the same names (11 If i'm not wrong.), and asked me if i wanted to overwrite the existing files, it asked me th same thing with all 9 parts, and in the end, tried putting the english patch (maybe i didnt get wrong, it appeared an error during the english patch installation but it seemed like it was finished), well, in the end, when i clicked the .exe, it appeared an error (the error box was full of ?'s and it said start up in the middle).

Note that i already have the whole data, i just don't think i installed it right, i don't like to think it's my computer, i highly doubt it.

I really want to know what i did wrong, and if you experienced with installing games like these i would appreciate your help.

Oh, and if you can download the game just like the way i did and make it work properly and tell me how you did it, it would be more than helpful.

Also, i really want to know if that english patch error during it's installing was my fault for not installing the game properly or if its normal.

 

Sorry for my noobness, but i think theres no shame in asking for help, right?

 

Hope i can sort this out, i'm really excited to play the eroge games from the site, and it kills me not to.

IF you have downloaded all parts, then extract all the content from the first zip.

It will automatically extract everything from all the 9 parts.

Now go to this map and run the .exe, this should install the game properly.

For easiness sake keep the shortcut it creates on the desktop.

Now right mouse click on the shortcut>properties>Open file location. dump the content of the patch in the appropriate location.

(i haven't installed or played the game but this should be the basics of it)

Also check if there is a readme file that could help you.

 

Hope this helps

If you're having problems with the extracting try making a new folder (by example VH3) and moving all parts inside it, then select all parts and right click to select "extract here" (this will extract the game inside the folder)

About the patch, you can just copy the .rar file and drop it inside the game folder and select "extract here" as well, overwrite and you're done

Thanks for the suggestion, i'll try both methods right away!

 

The thing is, this english patch is quite different, its a zip folder, that comes with quite a few archives and a folder inside it (btw none of them asks to overwrite, theyre all new archives to the game), it has a readme of course (this is a copy/paste from the readme):

Files in patch:

1. /English/ - directory of translated content

2. English patch install.bat - batch file for easy installation

3. VH3 English readme.txt - the file you're reading now

4. kikiriki.exe - Phiber's Kirikiri tool for extracting and decrypting the game files

5. madCHook.dll - library used by kikiriki for decryption

Easy Installation:

1. Copy all files in the archive into your Violated Hero III directory.

2. Run the English patch install.bat batch file and wait for it to finish. If you're using a weird operating system, you might not have xcopy and will have to manually copy the files from the English/ directory. You should be fine on XP/Vista/7 though. I don't know about Windows 8.

I followed the instructions as i said, but in the middle of installation occured an error, but when i closed the error window the installation continued, again i cannot tell if thats normal or not.

And my windows is 8 also, but again, i'm pretty sure that doesnt make a huge difference.

Well, i extracted only the first .rar file, and clicked to run the .exe, this happened:

 

Oh, and all the parts + the english patch are in one folder already:

 

Argh, im getting worried, at first i thought it was my noobness, but maybe something really did go wrong?

Maybe if VH3 doesn't work out, i'll try another game, becuase im dying knowing i can't play VH3, but so far, i still think something is wrong, and is not the game itself since i know people were able to play the game downloading it from the links i did.

Again, if someone could install the game like i did, would be a huge help.

The first screenshot is obviously wrong since there are like 4 archives there: one exe, the website link and other 2, that's nowhere near to be a complete game

Now on the second screenshot you have all parts in the same folder, now select them all and "extract here", then copy all files in the english patch, paste them on the folder the game is (the one with the .rar files you just extracted) and run install.batch, wait untill it finishes and you're done

Did what you said, i chose the option ''extract here'' when selected all the 9 parts, i was afk for a few seconds from my computer and when i came back it was finished, i remember seeing only the part01 being extracted, but since there wasnt any asking for overwrite i guess i did everything ok. this is my situation on the folder right now:

 

So, i copy all files from the english patch and put them on this folder or in the ''ViolatedHero3'' folder? I didnt even opened the game folder yet, i decided to hear carefully to your instructions.

well..if you want to know...

you actually finished extracted all files from each part...

so in other words...you dont have to manually extract them yourself

all you need to do is overwrite the files from the english patch in the extracted game folder

Yes, copy all files on the english patch inside it and run "install.bat", after that you're ready to play

[NightRevolt 10]

But wich of the folders? i copy all files from the english patch and put them on the folder with the .rar or in the ''ViolatedHero3'' folder?

[Maoh 13]

In the ''ViolatedHero3" folder

[NightRevolt 10]

Well, i did install the english patch with no problems (no error box, just a warning box saying it wanted to change some files, i guess that wasn't important so i allowed it.)

Since it had no errors, i thought the game would run normally this time, but these three boxes opened again after a few seconds loading to open the .exe:

 

*sigh* Still don't like to think its my computer though, or windows 8, because another eroge i downloaded (but on torrent, full and already in english) worked pefectly fine, i wonder if i did it wrong...

But again, i would thank alot someone that could install the game and see by yourself.

Sorry for not replying yesterday, i passed the whole day reading manga and without internet....

Don't know if this is necessary for this eroge, But is your windows locale Japanese?

If not: Changing to Japanese locale on Windows 7 | Eroge Download this is a windows 7 guide, but the same routine apply's for windows 8

^What hyomaru said

Look how there are lots of ???óóeóé??é there, these should be japanese letters
