[2026] Intel Indeo Video Decompressor Fix (VfW) - Fix vids:IV32/41/50

New Update 1.0.1-1 (Fix-Update): Thanks to the community for the *feedback. Yes, I did seriously made a mistake! 😞

• Fixed BATCH Registry logic: All entries are now correctly restored and functional*.

• Added Experimental Uninstaller: Included for testing purposes (Limited Support).

New Update 1.0.1 

 +   Multi-Language Support: Added automatic language detection for English, German, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese.

 +  Integrity & Security: Added SHA-256 checksum verification  and confirmed clean status via VirusTotal* Sandbox.

 +   Support System: Integrated direct support via Telegram on @Indeofixbot.

 +   Pre-Install Check: Adding a routine to verify system permissions before copying files.

 +   Unlocker tool is now only required in exceptional cases.

Version 1.0.0 served as the first public proof-of-concept, designed to provide a quick and effective solution for black video sequences in classic titles (such as AoE1, C&C, Thief). During this phase, the primary focus was on pure functionality and immediate results.

    Simple 1-Click Solution: The batch script was optimized for rapid execution to register the necessary Indeo components without detour.

    Core Functionality: In this rapid development stage, the script focused exclusively on the essential tasks—copying the files and setting the crucial registry hooks for IV32 and IV50 decompressors.

    Minimalist Design: This version lacked automated language detection and advanced security checks, serving as a direct tool for experienced users needing immediate access to retro cinematics.

    Direct Bugfixes: Successfully addressed "Video not found" errors and the notorious white screens with red stripes.
