What to do if Setup_TH-1.bin is missing from your install DVD's

Hi all,

I posted this in another thread, but as it seems quite widespread I thought a thread of its own, appropriately titled would be more useful.

Hope this helps.

OK, so here's what I did. This worked for me.

Explanation: It seems someone screwed up so the expected filenames are not found on the DVD's. The steps below will instruct you to copy the files from the DVD's onto your HDD, rename the files, then run the installer.

Step 1:
Create a folder on your HDD called Witcher 3 (or whatever you want to call it - this will be a temporary store for files you will later delete)

NOTE: You will need approx 27GB HDD space free for the copied files PLUS approx 25+GB for the install

Step 2:
Inside the Witcher 3 folder you created, create another folder called Disc 1
Copy all the files from the physical Disc 1 into this folder

Step 3:
Inside the Witcher 3 folder you created, create another folder called Disc 2
Copy all the files from the physical Disc 2 into this folder
Repeat the above step to create folders called Disc 3 and Disc 4 and copy the files from each disc

Step 4:
Go into Disc 1 folder
Rename the files as follows:
Setup_TH.bin change to Setup_TH-1.bin
Setup_T2.bin change to Setup_TH-2.bin
You do NOT need to rename Setup_TH.exe

Step 5:
Go into folder Disc 2
Rename the files as follows:
Setup_TH.bin change to Setup_TH-3.bin
Setup_T2.bin change to Setup_TH-4.bin

Step 6:
Go into folder Disc 3
Rename the files as follows:
Setup_TH.bin change to Setup_TH-5.bin
Setup_T2.bin change to Setup_TH-6.bin

Step 7:
Go into the folder Disc 4
Rename the file as follows:
Setup_TH.bin change to Setup_TH-7.bin
NOTE: There is no Setup_T2.bin on Disc 4

Step 8:
Go into the folder Disc 1
Double click the file Setup_TH.exe
Choose install location if necessary

Step 9:
Whenever the installer asks for one of the files you renamed, navigate to the appropriate folder (Disc 1, 2, 3 or 4) and choose the file. Click Open

Step 10:
Once the install is complete you will be prompted to launch GoG Galaxy so that the Day 1 patch can be downloaded / installed. You can also redeem your GoG code for the game once logged in (found on the back of the Game Manual)

Step 11 (optional)
Curse the names CD Projekt Red, GoG and BandaiNamco for screwing up

Step 12:
If everything is working as intended you may want to delete the folders you created to save disc space.

Note: I have no affiliation with CDPR, GoG or BandaiNamco, so follow the above at your own risk. It worked for me.

if you have very fast connection of internet, you can download gog galaxie, and add your key (the key in the manual) in gog galaxie, after that you can download the game.

I have the same issues (in the end I just redeemed my code in GOG to play) but that still leaves me with the problem why the discs dont work in my computer yet they work on another non gaming PC i tried. So its not like I can just exchange the discs, I would like to know why they arent working, just out of interest now)

PS this is the Collectors Edition from EB in Australia

Step 7:
Go into the folder Disc 4
Rename the file as follows:
Setup_TH.bin change to Setup_TH-7.bin
NOTE: There is no Setup_T2.bin on Disc 4

i've got the Setup_T2.bin on disc 4.
Tryin' this one; hope everything goes well, I can't wait anymore.

EDIT: just rename in Setup_TH-8, works for me.

Isnt it possible to just change the names on the CD? instead of copying it all to you're computer first
