• Other flag (instead of 80 00 00 02) : 00 00 00 01 purpose?

• Misc: When failure at install:

From network: see Project_Database_(PDB)

From external/internal install pkg: see on HDD0/game/_INST_2011XXXX...(pkg date installed): most often empty but not every time, delete them for regular cleanning. Somes failures also can create theirs regular HDD0/game folder.
