Note: This Install process downloads about 3.3 GB of data, if you download everything except the .MVE cutscenes. Just so you can prepare; for example, you could set it to download overnight.No MVE cutscenes.
-If you have the FreeSpace 2 Retail CDs and you're running Windows, jump down to "Retail install" to save time,
Retail Install:
1. Install FreeSpace 2 from your disks, if you haven't already. Install it to C:\Games\FreeSpace2.
2. Now, put disk 2 of FreeSpace 2 back into your CD drive.
3. Copy all the files with the extension of ".MVE" from the disk to the folder C:\Games\FreeSpace2\data\movies\ (create this folder if it doesn't exist)
4. Do the same thing for disk 3.
5. Use this patch (http://www.pxo.net/files/fs21x-12.exe) to patch your game to 1.2, if you haven't already.
6. Put this file (http://www.fsoinstaller.com/files/installer/installedversions.txt) in C:\Games\FreeSpace2\Installer\ (create this folder if it doesn't exist)
7. Run the Installer, number 4 of Installing the FreeSpace Open Installer, above.
Using the Installer:
(See pic at bottom)
1. Press "Choose A Directory"
2.Type in a location for FreeSpace 2, eg:Code: [Select]C:\Games\FreeSpace2
(This is the recommended install location, unless you really want another or you've already installed elsewhere.)
3. Press Enter
4. Click "Update All Features"
5. Click "Let me choose for each one"
6. Choose "Yes" for everything except the following: (unless you want them...)
a) FreeSpace Open 3.6.9 Macintosh (Universal Binary) Executables
b) FS2_Open Launcher for OS X
c) latest version of .MVE Cutscenes (these are high quality versions of the .OGG cutscenes, which you almost can't tell the difference between, .MVEs take more space & time.)
d) If you've already copied the .MVEs off of the FS2 discs or chosen to download them, you don't need the latest version of .OGG Cutscenes for FS2
e) latest version of FreeSpace 1 .MVE Cutscenes (same as above, you can get the .OGG ones easier, unless you like ultra HQ.)
f) If you've already copied the .MVEs off of the FS1 discs or chosen to download them, you don't need the latest version of .OGG Cutscenes for FSPort (FS1)
7. If you don't have it, get OpenAL by clicking "Yes" when the Installer asks you about OpenAL. If a website doesn't open for you to install OpenAL, use this link (http://www.openal.org/downloads.html). (All users, Windows / Mac / Linux.)

WTF? A walkthrough for the installer? That kind of defeats the purpose of an installer...

:nekro:
Some of the images are dead. You might want to replace them, as I still point people to this when they're having trouble.
1. Install FreeSpace 2 from your disks, if you haven't already. Install it to C:\Games\FreeSpace2. Then install the 1.2 patch. If you don't have the FS2 Retail Disks, skip down to step 6, below.
I have set the open installer dowloading everything but it has been dowloading for 2 days!Depends on your internet connection speed. It downloads over 6GB.
Should it be taking this long? :confused:
No. Best option would be to restart the download.Wrong answer. What if he has dialup?
If you can't get the installer to work, I'd recommend following the manual install guide found here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=47640.0). While it does not cover installation of the FSPort, using the experience gained from following it will make the manual installation of the FSPort (using the instructions in the release thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=58357.0)) easier.
