Vista will require Winrar to put the two pieces back together, until somebody has access to be able to upload more than 200mb in one shot. The reason for the size on Vista is that the game requires .NET 2.0 SP1 which is not compatible with Vista, so you need to install .NET 3.5 which is about 200mb alone.
This is an installer that will install all pre-requisite softwares along with installing the full game with the latest update. As you may see before, I'm not sure how this will work with Vista or 64bit OS's. Please post bugs with the installer here and we'll work through all of them together.

Well, the last beta was kind of short lived. It had two annoying bugs that I really wanted to fix quickly, so here is Update 3.
Bye,
Callisto
03/08/08 - Beta 6 Update 3
- Added missing stars.png file to update
- Fixed solo detection not working in GH1 songs
19/06/08 - Beta 6 Update 2
- Automatically setting GZ process priority to "above normal"
- Added support for playing "drums.ogg"
- Now trying to determine solo sections using solo_on / solo_off events first. If this fails, solo sections are still determined using song sections that contain the word "solo".
- Added Starpower Meter
- Fixed background of "More Stats" menu not being centered
- Whammying a sustained starpower note now yields additional starpower
- Reduced the size of the "forward note window" when playing HOPOs (from 100ms to 60ms). The "strumming note window" is unaffected by this change.
- Fixed songs in training mode sometimes displaying no available difficulties
- Now saving the last 5 highscores per difficulty level in scores.xml
- How showing "special" stars in the setlist for songs that have been FC'ed (stars.png has to be adapted for mods).
- Slightly increased speed of whammy bar trails
Here is the core update files, with no installer: rapidshare.com/files/134489768/GZ_Beta_6_-_Update_3.rar

Hello everyone. I have now tried twice to be helpful in the help section, however after about a week in there, I again am totally sick of "I can't get the game to work." and after 3 posts giving a link to the download page for the pre-requisites and telling them to download and install everything, or explaining that Update 1 holds the entire game and then Update it with Update 3...argh!!!!! Anyways...to alleviate some of this pain I have created an installer that installs the GZ2 with Beta 6, Update 3 AND installs all pre-requisite packages. It starts out installing .NET Framework 2.0, then .NET Framework 2.0 SP1, then XNA 2.0, then DirectX 9.0c, then DirectX Web Installer. I don't have any way of testing this installer so I need a few people to try it out. I'm willing to bet it won't work on Vista because some of the install packages won't work quite right. I assume this is the same thing for x64 systems. All I did was take the links from the download page (or if the link was for a bootstrap, I included the redistributable package) and make them automatically launch in order. I would love for this to solve the majority of installation problems with this package.
Possible Future Updates
- Test to see if the software packages need to be installed at all before running them.
- Run software packages in quiet mode (Tried a little bit, didn't work immediatley so I gave up for now)
- Test if Vista, then run Vista exe's (same for x64)
I hope somebody is able to test this soon, so that we can possibly replace all other links with this package.
Links removed so as not to have another publically available version of GZ2 on the net as to Callisto's wishes. However, here is just the pre-requisite part of the installer.

Please somebody install this and then run the game and let me know if it works. This will tell us if it works, then I'll work with Callisto to get an installer to be the only game download.
