Problem with install

[Seafh51]

Hello, The install_remove.bat seems to only uninstall even on the first time running the program. when trying both the x64 an x84 the only one the program says its uninstalling is the x64 one. I went through the troubleshooting and in the registry only the second key out of the 4 exsists. the value for it is blank. Manually dropping a .sar file onto SarConvert.ext works as intended and makes a .png next to the file. Any ideas on why this is happening?

The install-remove script is a bit hacky, yeah.
Have you tried the manual installation process listed in the readme under install/remove section?

If you're not sure how to do it, here's a rundown:

• First, extract/move the files somewhere they'll not be moved from/deleted by accident, like the game data folder for example,
  in my case, its under C:\Users\Reisen\Documents\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2_NA_STEAM. Do rememer that path, and keep it ready in a notepad or something since you'll need it later. I recommend placing it somewhere in the system drive (C:) to avoid any issues, the game data under my documents fits the bill.

• Open a command prompt as administrator, to do that, press Win+R, and type cmd in the run box:
  

• Then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (hold both ctrl and shift, then press enter), and the UAC screen probably will show up, click yes.

• From there, type
  cd /d <path to where the files are>
  In my case it would be
  cd /d C:\Users\Reisen\Documents\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2_NA_STEAM, you'll end up with a screen like this
  

• Then the last step is to type in the command prompt either:
  regsvr32 Pso2SarThumbnailHandler.x64.dll for 64-bit systems, or
  regsvr32 Pso2SarThumbnailHandler.x86.dll for 32-bit systems.
  And press enter to execute.

• If you're not sure which type of system you are using, press Win+Pause/Break, or if your keyboard doesn't have a pause/break key, right click on This PC on explorer and go to Properties.
  There you'll find under System Type, which architecture you're using:

• After that you should receive a message like this, and the extension should be working (just click OK to close it).
  

• In that same command prompt, if you want to enable (or disable later) the high-resolution rendering, type and run

  • reg add "HKCR\CLSID\{63424DF1-FAA8-4598-97E5-6E95D4A4ED67}" /v "HighDefinition" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f to enable it
  • reg add "HKCR\CLSID\{63424DF1-FAA8-4598-97E5-6E95D4A4ED67}" /v "HighDefinition" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f to disable it
