What is FirstBGImage in

[Component1]

Size=1700
Checked=1

FirstBGImage=7

What is FirstBGImage in

[Component1]
Name=DLC 02
Size=1700
Checked=1
ShowInstallLabel=0
FirstBGImage=7
FirstBGImage= key serves to inform which first slide image belongs to each component.

Example, if you have three components (games), and you put 5 images of each game, then if you correctly set FistBGImage as 1,6,11 respectively for components 1,2,3 then when selecting only components 1 and 3 the images 6 to 10 will not be displayed on the slides as component 2 has not been checked.

I have a question about [CMDCommands]

Are the commands executed from {app} or {tmp}?

I have to create a folder shortcut inside the {app} folder.

[CMDCommands]
@echo off
mklink /D ".\ModData\Data" ".\Data"

You could try:

@echo off
echo %cd% >> "C:\mylocation.txt"
pause

It will save the location to the specified text file

Added CIU 3.0.0.1.b8.u3 HF4 in the previous post (Along with the latest CIU source code).
In a few days I will share a version of the CIU with support for "DiskSpan GUI 2.0.0.1".
I didn't have a lot of time to make the necessary changes to the CIU code because it's pretty messed up after testing the inclusion of protection for the design images.
Wait a little longer!

15-08-2021, 02:23

Updated CIU 3.0.0.1.b9 compatible with DiskSpan_GUI 2.0.0.1.
For change information take a quick tour of the changelog files.

INFO:
1) Download the attachment and also the latest DiskSpan GUI from DiskSpan GUI (https://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=104507) thread and extract boot files using WinRar or 7Zip.
2) Move the "COMPRESSOR" folder from the DiskSpan_GUI attachment to the CIU source code folder.

P.S: I shared the attachments separately so that the same attachment from DiskSpan_GUI can be used for other installers such as ASIS, LIS or others installers.
Also read the changes in the changelog because many keys have changed or no longer exist, and also some files need to be renamed or are no longer supported.
It may contain some new bugs in CIU because a large part of the code has changed.
So I ask you to report the bugs found so they can be fixed.
Thanks to everyone who contributed testing and reporting bugs in previous versions!

EDIT:
Added hotfix 1.
- Fixed infinite loop (freezing installer) when reading records.ini files when using tasks and also when using maintenance page.

Hello, the Unpacker GUI I was using no longer works with the latest version of DiskSpan_GUI. I'm currently using the example script that came with the newest DiskSpan_GUI to make a new very simple installer, but I cannot figure out how to remove the "Start Menu Folder" part of the script. Does anyone know how I can do that?

Also there has been one little typo in DiskSpan_GUI for awhile. It's in the "LOLZ Final Compressor" section, the typo is "Hight". I believe it should probably be "High".

regisgay

29-08-2021, 02:54

To unpack it is now possible with DiskSpan GUI 2.0.0.1 ("Tools" button was included), just copying DiskSpan_GUI.exe to the folder where the conversion is (DVD_1).

Yeah I figured this out after posting haha. Thanks for the reply.

I decided to share here about a way to avoid future mistakes.
Whenever compiling an executable containing videos with the CIU it is highly recommended to include the necessary LAV filters by enabling in the AddDXFilter=1 key of the [InstallOptions] section of Setup.ini.

I recently upgraded my system from Intel (3rd Generation) to AMD (Current Generation) and I noticed that installers created with CIU 3.0.0.1 beta 8 (I tested u2) doesn't work if filters haven't been included inside setup. exe using the AddDXFilter=1 key in the [InstallOptions] section of Setup.ini before compilation (CIU 3.0.0.1.b8 use old ISMediaLib.dll).
When running the installer and it has music or video, when trying to add the music or video the installer exits.
Maybe it's some K-Lite Codec Pack update as I also recently updated the K-Lite Codec pack to version 16.4.0.

In version CIU 3.0.0.1 beta 9 it is working perfectly including or not the LAV filters internally in Setup.exe.
Perhaps the error has to do with playing ".mp3" files because now in version 3.0.0.1 beta 9 who plays ".mp3" songs is the BASS.dll library. The ISMediaLib.dll library plays video files only, and there were no errors when using the current filters with K-Lite Codec Pack 16.40 installed.

I find it much more complex on the modifications to be made to adapt the skin. is there a doc somewhere? a tutorial? to read to know what to modify when you start a small can ?. thank you

From the LOG file in the video I see that you used DiskSpan GUI 2.0.0.5.
Have you compiled the Setup.exe executable using the CIU hotfix script (https://www.fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=495012&postcount=775)?
I don't know if that's it, but since you used LOLZ, in DSG version 2.0.0.5, in ARC.ini the temporary directory is set to {app}, but this value is replaced by the corresponding value from the installation folder when starting the extract. But only the hotfix script has the necessary changes for this replacement.

I can't test it here.
I use Windows 10, and on Windows 10 it seems to work fine.

You can redirect OutputDir in line 8 of the script and enable debug mode (line 103), and run and check where execution paused. Check procedure Unpack_Process up to which line is processed (a blue dot will be added before the line in Inno Setup IDE when running in debug mode).

You can try compiling with version 6.20 of Inno Setup for testing, but I don't think that's it.

mausschieber

07-12-2021, 03:13

i test it on windows 10 and it worked fine. i think it a windows 11 problem

ok. i have tested me too . under 1 bd25 size he creates uninstall.exe. but if you have more than 1 bd25 not create al all. for example GTA 4 is under 1bd25 and create uninstall.exe and if i compress forza or cyperpunk or batman arkham knight not creating at all. i dont know what causes this. thanks for your reply and for your work

EDIT: i have compiled setup.exe and just noticed if i just run setup.exe without installing from compression he creates uninstall.exe so i think the problem is with DISKPAN_GUI maybe.

05-02-2022, 03:05

I think the solution is to copy uninstall.exe before extraction starts. Because it makes sense, if you install from ISO/DISK and change the ISO/DISK, Setup can't find Setup.exe to copy in current {src} directory. In my tests, uninstall.exe will be copied to {app} folder when extraction is done.

@Cesar82

Is there any 32-Bit compatible version of recent "CIUv3" script ?

@Razor12911 constantly updates 32-bit version of XTOOL 2020, but why there is no 32-Bit compatible version of "DiskSpan GUI" with latest binaries ?

If its possible how can i modify "DiskSpan GUI" to support both 32-bit & 64-bit ?

Even @KaktoR ASIS script is 64-bit Only !!!

any help would be appreciated.

You must be confused, Razor discontinued the x86 build of XTool 2020 edition ages ago.

CIU 3.0.0.1.b9.u1 hotfix 3
- Fixed detection of video memory (VRam) above 4GB.
- Fixed dot after values in display of required disk space sizes.

@KaktoR, if it works you can replace the HF3 in post 1.

Hotfix 3 added to first post.

03-03-2022, 05:27

The; #define InternalDLL function does not work.

Cesar82

22-03-2022, 14:55

@Gehrman, I will fix this in the next CIU update.
But you can fix it in your script by inserting the lines highlighted in red.
#if !defined(CREATOR)
Source: "Resources\Includes\UnArc.dll"; DestDir: "COMPRESSORS"; Flags: dontcopy
Source: "Resources\Includes\ISDone.dll"; DestDir: "COMPRESSORS"; Flags: dontcopy
Source: "Resources\Includes\English.ini"; DestDir: "COMPRESSORS"; Flags: dontcopy
#if defined(InternalDLL) && FileExists(AddBackslash(SourcePath) + ExtractFileName(SetupSetting("OutputBaseFilename")) + ".dll")
Source: "{#AddBackslash(SourcePath) + ExtractFileName(SetupSetting("OutputBaseFilename")) + ".dll"}"; DestDir: "COMPRESSORS"; Flags: dontcopy
#endif
#endif

For some time, nothing new has been included in the CIU (It's not good to mess around when it's working well).
However, a TrackBar will be included to control the music/video volume (See the example in the attached file).

As for the bug that cuts the labels in the texts of the buttons informed by Prettyboy099, I still haven't found a solution.
Obtaining text width measurements from the windows API function GetTextExtentPoint32 returns a value well below the correct value (in Cyrillic characters) using some different fonts.

Cesar82

07-05-2022, 09:59

CIU 3.0.0.1.b9.u1 hotfix 4
- Fixed cropping of labels on buttons in languages with cyliric characters (like Russian and Ukraine) when using some different fonts.

P.S: It's been over 3 weeks Prettyboy099 has tested this hotfix and I forgot to share it with the rest of you.
@KaktoR, if it works in some days you can replace the HF4 in post 1.

You could create the whole project including the iso (Remove the larger sized files from the game folder and use the DSG custom tab to create smaller discs) and send it to me.
Send me the project where errors occur.

problem scale on 4k resolution :(
By default CIU has an encoding to enter the value "~DPIUNAWARE" in the registry and relaunch Setup.exe.
I don't have a 4K monitor, but creating a custom resolution here is working. See in the attached video the size of the design before and after committing the line that inserts the value in the register.
The same values reported above by Gehrman are entered by CIU automatically when resolutions above 1920x1080.

CIU 3.0.0.1.b9.u1 hotfix 5 e 6.

Thanks to Cesar 82

I found a small bug
In the first test, "Test 1 Test 1 Test 1" is incomplete

Using GROUP with Radio causes this bug

Although only one RadioButton will never be used as in your example, the error also occurred if there were no checkboxes.
Try with the HF6 attached.

Hotfix 5:
- Fixed to enable play buttons after installed UWP games.
- Fixed error that occurred when creating UWP game shortcuts when converting png image to icon (Thanks andreiutzu21 for bug information and tests).
- Fixed CheckInfo function when using negation character "!" before the parameter like: Check: CheckInfo('!lang:!en,de');
- Added support for negation character "!" in the CheckInfo function now also in the compared type like as in the example:
>> Check: CheckInfo('comp:!1,2,3'); >> Only returns true if you have not checked component 1 and have checked components 2 or 3.

Hotfix 6:
- Fixed checklist items position when there are no checkboxes (Thanks Gehrman for report bug).

Cesar82

CIU 3.0.0.1 update 2 available.
Now the external mode is functional allowing conversion developers to protect almost all design files.
To use external mode you must compile Setup.exe using the CIU_Tools tool.
The Setup.bin file must be compressed or only after compiling Setup.exe.

- Fixed bug of items being disabled when clicking "check all" checkbox in all CheckListBox.
- Fixed so that sections of Setup.ini commented out with [ ;SectionName] or [//SectionName] or [_SectionName] or [SectionName_] are ignored in script preprocessing when compiling.
- Fixed bug on the "License" page that when pressing the spacebar on the keyboard, even when the checkbox was unchecked, the installation advanced the page.
- Fixed bug in the "Components" page that when pressing the spacebar on the keyboard, even when all components were unchecked, the installation advanced the page.
- Fixed focused buttons on each page of the CIU installer.
>> The "CancelButton" is focused on the wpInstalling page (installation progress) and on the UninstProgressPage (uninstallation progress).
>> The "BackButton" is focused on the UninstQuestionPage (To avoid accidentally uninstalling by pressing the spacebar on the keyboard).
>> For all other pages the "NextButton" is the page's focused button.
- Fixed so that both ".png" and ".gif" splash images can be used allowing to merge formats.
>> The ".wav" sound file to splash can be used as long as it has the splash image of the same name, being it ".png" or ".gif".
- Added WorkDir parametter for Play buttons of the CIU.
- Added new key FlagBorderColor= ($RGB) to [LangBox], [AboutSettings] and [AboutSettingsAR] sections.
- Added new HideOnLauncher= (0/1) key in all button sections belonging to autorun page.
>> This key makes it possible to hide unwanted buttons when using ShowGameLauncher=1 in the [InstallOptions] section.
- Added support new slider volume control (trackbar).
>> Look the sections [VolumeTrackBar], [VolumeTrackBarAR] and [VolumeTrackBarSI] in CIU help files to understand the new keys and supported images.
- Removed Center= key from [LangBox] section.
>> This key is no longer needed because using "center" value in key Align= has the same effect.
- Removed CreatePage= key from [AutorunSettings] section.
>> This key is unnecessary as it has the same effect as removing or renaming the "Setup\Autorun" folder or "Autorun.png" file to another name.
- Added support for the new "OTHER" installer type using with DiskSpan GUI 2.0.1.1+.
>> It can be used in the InstallerType= key of the [InstallerSettings] section and the Type= key of the [Executable#] and [Play#Button] sections and also as a type in the CheckInfo function.
- Added new function IsOtherGame to use with registry entries in Check parametter;
- Added support to IsOTHER flag in [CustomShortcuts] and [CustomIniFile] sections.
- Added new keys SiteOTHER= and SiteOTHER<LNG>= in [Website#Button] sections.
- Updated to logarithm volume on all music player (previously it was linear volume).
- Updated BASS.dll from v2.4.16.1 to v2.4.16.7

CIU 3.0.0.1 update 3 available (I didn't have time to test).

If you find bugs let me know and I'll fix them and re-upload them.
Some messages regarding the hash page need translation, so if you've collaborated with translations for CIU before and want to collaborate again, then check the link file for untranslated texts and PM me the translations, thanks.

- Fixed flags type in about pages.
- Fixed to remove all duplicate keys when preprocessing the Setup.ini file.
- Fixed wrong size of SeletFolderForm window when using some ".cjstyles" skin files.
- Fixed several bugs regarding the position of the trackbar images when changing the volume.
- Fixed correct position of volume trackbar when switching between SmallInstaller to Installer and vice versa.
- Fixed starting position of volume trackbar when switching from autorun to installer.
- Fixed trackbar to allow using only one of the image as TrackBarBtn.png or TrackBarImg.png.
>> Now if using only TrakBarImg by clicking and holding the mouse button it is possible to move the volume trackbar position.
- Added new key CheckBox= in [VolumeTrackBar], [VolumeTrackBarAR], and [VolumeTrackBarSI] (double click on slider to change music state).
>> If you use value 1, you must use the image for the slider using an image formed by 8 parts of equal sizes arranged vertically (like checkboxes and music icons buttons).
>> If you use value 0, you must use the image for the slider using an image formed by 4 parts of equal sizes arranged vertically (like the up and down buttons on scroolbars).
- Changed keys names from SliderLeft=/SliderRight= to SpaceBefore=/SpaceAfter= in [VolumeTrackBar], [VolumeTrackBarAR], and [VolumeTrackBarSI] sections.
- Changed keys names from SpaceLeft=/SpaceRight= to SpaceBefore=/SpaceAfter= consecutively in [ProgressBar] and [ProgressBarSI] sections.
- Changed images file names from ProgressBackground2.png/ProgressBackgroundSI2.png to ProgressForeground.png/ProgressForegroundSI.png consecutively.
- Changed checksum library ISHash.dll (by peterf1999) to XHashEx.dll (by BLACKFIRE69).
- Added new key Position= in the [ProgressBar] and [ProgressBarSI] section to change percentage label orientation to vertical.
- Added new key Position= in [ProgressBar] and [ProgressBarSI] sections to change progressbar orientation to vertical.
- Added new key HashFontSize= in the [ProgressBar] section to set the font of the Hash page percentage label.
- Added new key EnableHash= (0/1) in [HashSettings] section.
- Added support to uninstal from file list (UninstallList.ini).
>> Only deleted files will be deleted on uninstall.
- Added support to DiskSpan GUI 2.0.1.3+

If we cancel the installation process, it will go to the successful installation page!
Bug2: installer asks if to quit, you select "No" the installer quits (this)

@Cesar82
If we cancel the installation process, it will go to the successful installation page!
Bug2: installer asks if to quit, you select "No" the installer quits (this)

BUG 1: This has always been the case, since the days when Yener90 created the code.
The same happens when an installation error occurs (IsDone Error).
What do you suggest? Should I close the installer by skipping the Finish page?

BUG 2: Since IsDone cannot resume the installation after canceling, it displays the cancel installation message, but since the return was already IsDoneError = TRUE, even clicking on cancel will exit the installation.
Maybe some change is needed to not display that last message.

If you have any suggestions for improvement, please comment. It is just not possible to resume the installation after clicking Cancel".

Thank you Cesar82
The first bug is missing in "CIUv3 3.0.0.1.b9.u1 (2021.09.11)".

The second bug
It seems to be fixed with these changes.
Without using Diskspan, of course:(

function BrowseArcFile(const ArcFile, Disk: String; var SrcDir: String): String;
...........................
IDCANCEL : begin
Waiting := False;
ISDoneCancel := 1;
ISDoneError := True;
ResumeProc;
WizardForm.CancelButton.OnClick(nil);
end;
Change to
IDCANCEL : begin
Waiting := False;
ISDoneCancel := 1;
ISDoneError := False;
ResumeProc;
ClickButton(@CancelBtnClick, nil);
end;

It is better to be like ASIS so that the installation process can be canceled by clicking Cancel.

When I mentioned "any suggestions", I was referring to the behavior of the action when clicking the cancel button, or whether it should display the exit message.
You didn't necessarily need to have informed what changes need to be made.
But anyway, thank you very much!
I will review in a few days. I'm out of time at the moment.

Thanks for reporting so bugs.

@César

Could you change this to "Default = SmallInstaller TextWidth"? This is the case with [ProgressBar], where this is correct in my opinion.

@César

[ProgressBarSI]
//Width=0 // integer (Default = SmallInstaller >> Width - 30)

Could you change this to "Default = SmallInstaller TextWidth"? This is the case with [ProgressBar], where this is correct in my opinion.

I think it's already like this, see:
SIProgressGauge := TNewProgressBar.Create(WizardForm);
with SIProgressGauge do begin
Parent := WizardForm;
Left := GetValInt('ProgressBarSI', 'Left', GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'TextLeft', 15)) + GetValInt('ProgressBarSI', 'MoveX', 0);
if SIProgressVertical then
begin
Top := GetValInt('ProgressBarSI', 'Top', GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'TextTop', 15)) + GetValInt('ProgressBarSI', 'MoveY', 0);
Width := GetValInt('ProgressBar' + IfThen(IsSectionEmpty('ProgressBarSI'), '', 'SI'), 'Width', 14);
Height := GetValInt('ProgressBarSI', 'Height', GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'TextHeight', GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'Height', 220) - 30));
SetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(Handle, GWL_STYLE) or PBS_VERTICAL);
SetWindowPos(Handle, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_FRAMECHANGED or SWP_NOZORDER or SWP_NOSIZE or SWP_NOMOVE);
end else
begin
Top := GetValInt('ProgressBarSI', 'Top', GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'TextTop', 15) + 65) + GetValInt('ProgressBarSI', 'MoveY', 0);
Width := GetValInt('ProgressBarSI', 'Width', GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'TextWidth', GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'Width', 500) - 30));
Height := GetValInt('ProgressBar' + IfThen(IsSectionEmpty('ProgressBarSI'), '', 'SI'), 'Height', 14);
end;
Min := 0;
Max := 1000;
Position := 0;
if CustomCursor then
OldCursor := SetClassLong(Handle, GCL_HCURSOR, NewCursor);
Visible := False;
end;

Width := GetValInt('ProgressBarSI', 'Width', GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'TextWidth', GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'Width', 500) - 30));

GetValInt('SmallInstaller', 'Width', 500) - 30
This will only be used if [SmallInstaller] TextWidth= does not exist.
If the key Width does not exist it will be 500.

Default To ProgressBarSI WIDTH === read ini: ProgressBarSI/Width << SmallInstaller/TextWidth << SmallInstaller/Width-30 << 500-30

-30 is left + right, so overall it is -60 then? Or -15 from both sides?

Example: SmallInstaller is 500, ProgressBarSI is 440 or 470 then?

@andreiutzu21...
1) You didn't tell me if the setup.exe attached to my previous post contains the deimal point bug in the labels "0." (required size on disk).

2) If possible let me know which script prior to b9.u1HF6 had the bug.
I think maybe it had the bug up to b9.u1HF2 and it was fixed in HF3. Confirm that this is the case.

3) If possible see which version after b9.u1HF6 the bug appeared again.

For me, everything works here, so it's difficult to analyze without you giving me the results.
If you prefer, send me a PM so as not to pollute this topic too much.

I'll see your attachment text file now. Ignore questions you have already answered.

the dot is not there after the 0 but at VRAM is the same it shows 3 gb instead of 4

the dot is not there after the 0 but at VRAM is the same it shows 3 gb instead of 4

That VRAM without problem.

THE STORY:
The CIU formerly at the time of Yener90 used the get_hw_caps.dll library to detect hardware.
As some functions stopped working with this library after the release of new versions of windows, the CIU started to use the ISSysInfo.dll library (by petef1999).
However, after the emergence of GPUs with VRAM greater than 4 GB, this library began to not correctly detect the VRAM of these GPUs.
Then I searched for efficient hardware detectors for VRAM, until in "CIU 3.0.0.0_b9.u1.HF6" I made my own version in the CIU script itself getting the values in the windows registry, but using the same ISSysInfo library .dll to read GPU name
But that wasn't so efficient because as you commented the labels were smaller on "CIU 3.0.0.0_b9.u1.HF6" (see it has 2 video card names).
What happens is that in idle mode, current laptops turn off the dedicated video card using only the integrated Intel HD Graphics card.
So after that in "CIU 3.0.0.0_b9.u2" Razor12911 helped me by improving a code which he himself had shared in the debate about not having a functional VRAM detect code so that this code would not only detect Namee VRAM of all GPUs and generate a list. Now it ordered and returned only the highest VRAM value (a logic because the dedicated card would probably always have the highest VRAM).
So I inserted Razor12911's code into CIULib.dll trying to make the VRAM check faster than the script itself using my code.

Now I perfected my script code to not only get the largest VRAM, but also read the name of the current GPU that has the largest VRAM size (I hope it's not slow).
I will send you a PM soon with test file.
If possible send me by PM the original captured images of your previous post b9.u1.HF6 (the labels are illegible).
Thanks.

It's me again. :p ;)

Ok, after a while...ermm....cough.... I have noticed some non logical steps in the installation process. It's about the Customize and Next option at the first setup window/page whatever. If you choose Customize then you go through the steps like EULA page, info page, hardware requirements page etc. That's ok but if you choose directly the Next button then the installation promptly begins. Here comes the non logical part. If there is an EULA and by not accepting it, you can't proceed with the installation which is on the other hand bypassed when Next (prompt) is chosen. Long story short, the EULA page and info page should appear in both ways, no matter what you choose. This should be fixed by all means. Thanks guys for your great work btw. Cheers.

Something like this:

Customize --> EULA (if there) --> Info (if there) --> Hardware requirements --> Components --> Tasks --> Installation path --> Prerequisites --> Install

or

Next --> EULA (if there) --> Info (if there) --> Hardware requirements --> Install

Thank you for your opinion.

This FAST mode is used since the original project that Yener90 created, so I didn't want to change it.

You can let your installers behave without this FAST mode (So it will always show the license).
For that, try using EnableFastInstall = 0 in the [InterfaceSettings] section.

If more users find the requested behavior better, I change it.
But I particularly prefer a FAST mode as is (Perhaps with an additional ready page (not currently supported) to know what is being installed and where, like components, tasks, directory, etc.).

Perhaps a solution would be to put an additional key to activate the behavior mode you suggested.
What do you think?

Proxson

26-04-2023, 17:39

The fault was on my side. facepalm.jpg

Setting EnableFastInstall = 0, resolved the problem. I am so embarrassed ! :o
Next time I should ....READ THE F***ING MANUAL ! Sorry guys. :)

Anyways, EnableFastInstall should be set to zero by default. Me thinks it's proper.

Perhaps a solution would be to put an additional key to activate the behavior mode you suggested.
What do you think?

It's all up to you mate. Now it works as it should but if you catch some time you could add that additional key. Why not have both after all. :)

You're quick as always. :)

It won't budge mate. It's still placing the default icon. Dunno. :confused:

Edit: If it needs some huge script rewriting then leave it as it is. It's not that important.

Edit 2: Ok, I have managed it by disabling the executable key and created the shortcuts in the custom shortcuts section. But now the 'create shortcut on desktop' box is disabled.

Btw, guys. Maybe it's a stupido question but how do you generate external MD5 checksum files ? Which tools do you use ? Thanks

KaktoR

06-05-2023, 06:18

Personally I use HashCheck (https://github.com/gurnec/HashCheck/releases/tag/v2.4.0) to create MD5/Sha* files.

But you can use QuickSFV (https://www.quicksfv.org/qsfv236x64.exe) too for that purpose.

Proxson

06-05-2023, 16:44

Thanks, Kaktor. :)

Ok, since I've never used external checksum files before and this thread is huge, where does this file go if I want to files be checked after the installation ? Setup folder ? I can't get it executed. :confused:

Edit: Ok, I got it working. I placed the sucker ( .MD5 file ) next to the script but in this post (#854) was the solution. Cesar mate, you have not fixed the script yet ! :) ;) Btw, my script version is CIU 3.0.0.1.b9.u4 (2022.12.30).

There is a small error in the script, sorry.
Just edit line 178 of the script replacing "!=" with "==" (see in green color).

>> After installed, only the play buttons will be shown on the autorun page that match with information about components, tasks and language.
- Added new key CreateShortcut= to the [Executable#] section.
>> This key allows you to deactivate the creation of shortcuts for the executable of the current section.
>> This will allow you to attach a Play button to the executable that the shortcut will be created on.
- Added support for new Edit.bmp image to delimit the OnMouse access area when using DirectoryEditOnMouse=1.
- Added support for hexadecimal result using "0x" in GetLangNR function like below:
>> Example to english language use GetLangNR('0x') to return hexadecimal format 0x409, GetLangNR('$') to return hexadecimal format $409 or GetLangNR('') to return decimal value 1033.
- Removed key Type= from [Play#Button] sections.
>> Now the "Type" information will be inherited from the [Executable#] section appended from the ExecutableID= key in the [Play#Button] sections.

CIU_3.0.0.1.b9.u5 hotfix 1 fixes a compilation error that locks the compiler in preprocessing mode when using more than 1 executables in INTERNAL mode (mode without Setup.bin).
The same error also compromised the use of PNG images as icons in UWP games.

Hi guys, after some long time i came back and wanted to start all over again with CIU. So i got the latest xx.b9 version from the first post and the hf2. Everything was turning great till i was testing the installer. Besides that i couldn't get hash to work like on old version were i manually put the .md5 (i solved this by just using the diskspan option) i had a problem with the Executable entry to create a desktop shortcut. I've been struggling for the last hour trying to fix it and got it working. It's actually an error on the setup.ini that comes with the CIU package, the Executable1 entry is named to Executable_1 (it shouldnt have the _). Just to let you know, in case anyone else starts over with the default setup.ini that comes with CIU.

Regards !!!

PD: Also thank's KaktoR and Cesar for keeping working on CIU, you guys are amazing as always.

EDIT 2:

Also i found this two strings not translated in the SpanishES.txt file, i corrected them myself but will share them here too:

CreateDesktopIcon=Crear acceso directo en el escritorio
OptimalInstallation=Instalación óptima (Más rápido)

And changed an already translated one from
DiskSpaceGBLabel=Setup requiere [size] en:
to
DiskSpaceGBLabel=La instalación requiere [size] en:

That's for the SpanishES but should be fine for the MX too

So i might have found a long standing bug (or maybe im just too dumb to make it work xD). It's about the [CustomIniFile] section. To make it simple, i've used a copy paste from the CIU Documentation to test it out and the Value entry never got applied to the .ini file, it always put into Value the path and .ini name instead.

Setup.ini:
{app}\IniFile3.ini; Section: Settings; Key: Language; Create: 1; Value: EN=english|ES=Spanish|FR=French|DE=German

After installation the IniFile3.ini is created, the section also is created inside the .ini and the Key also works too. But the Value returns the path instead of the value.

IniFile3.ini created by CIU after install:
[Settings]
Language={app}\IniFile3.ini

I've tried out a few diff ways on the .ini but none worked, so i took a look into the .iss file and found this:

begin
if FileExists(IniName) or (StrToIntDef(LineDecode(TmpStr, 'Create', '0'), 0) = 1) then
begin
IniValue := LineDecode(TmpStr, '', '');

And changed it to this:

IniValue := LineDecode(TmpStr, 'Value', '');

On the setup.ini now its working fine, just needs to remove the spacing between Value: and the value, like this:

{app}\IniFile3.ini; Section: Settings; Key: Language; Create: 1; Value:EN=english|ES=Spanish|FR=French|DE=German

Not sure if this was intended on the .iss and i'm just using a wrong string on the setup.ini. I just leave it here if you want to take a look into it.

Regards !!!

Thank you for the informations.

It really is wrong and the solution is the same.
Maybe including something to remove the first space in the value if it exists would be interesting.

Yeah, that should be easy now, i just leaved it that way because i was too tired yesterday to keep looking. Will take a look in a few and update this message with the full code change. I'm still testing out the new CIU, lot of things have changed since 2020.

Thank's to you for keeping this up !!!

EDIT:

So seems like adding Trim to the LineDecode was enough to fix the spacing issue. I've done some tests and all went fine. 1st test was to just let CIU make a clean .ini with the language feature, second test was letting CIU modify an existent .ini to replace the value with the language feature and another test to add custom values without the language feature. All went fine. So here is the original code on the latest beta hf2 (from december) and the only little change i made to it.

Original:
begin
if FileExists(IniName) or (StrToIntDef(LineDecode(TmpStr, 'Create', '0'), 0) = 1) then
begin
IniValue := LineDecode(TmpStr, '', '');
if (IniValue = '') or ((Pos('=', IniValue) > 0) and (Pos('|', IniValue) > 0) and (Pos(LowerCase(ActLangShort + '='), LowerCase(IniValue)) = 0)) then

Modified (marked in red):

begin
if FileExists(IniName) or (StrToIntDef(LineDecode(TmpStr, 'Create', '0'), 0) = 1) then
begin
IniValue := Trim(LineDecode(TmpStr, 'Value', ''));
if (IniValue = '') or ((Pos('=', IniValue) > 0) and (Pos('|', IniValue) > 0) and (Pos(LowerCase(ActLangShort + '='), LowerCase(IniValue)) = 0)) then

>> If you use "Records.ini" to configure hash checking you can use the Size= key to inform the type of algorithm.
>> If algorithm parameter exists, CIU will use the "VerifyHashesFromFileEx" function from "XHashEx.dll", otherwise it will use the "VerifyHashesAutoFromFileEx" function.
>> If you enter the type of algorithm you will have 21 algorithm options to use, otherwise you will have 5 algorithm options to use.
Example: HashFile#={src}\HashFile.dat; DestDir:{app}; Algo:crc32; Comp:1,3; Lang:EN,DE; Task:3;

>> Now the HashFile#= key can also be used even if you use external compression mode (Even if you have the Records.ini file).
- Added new key StartCheck= to [HashSettings] section of the external "Setup.ini" file.
- Added new key FasterCheck= to [HashSettings] section of the "Setup.ini" file and also the external "Setup.ini" file.
>> If you use the value 1 in this key during the hash check, the button image fade/transition update timer and the equalizer animation timers will be disabled.
>> This feature, if enabled, will reduce hash checking time by almost half.
- Added support to include compressor inside Setup.exe file.
>> Add the compressors to a "DECOMPRESSOR" folder next to the script before compiling to include the desired compressors within "Setup.exe" file.
>> It also supports using folder structure with desired compressors.
- Added localized Name<LNG>= keys in [Component#], [Task#] and [Executable#] sections.
>> The Name= key is required to validate task or components page or validate executable file.

the uninstall.png button is on the left the website button in the middle of the image both on the same line

but I have the same result when I put the mouse on website.png it selects the two buttons. to overcome this problem I add in the setup.ini the line

OnlyLabelClick=1

and it works much better except that the selection is made if I point the mouse on the install text and not on the uninstall.png button
and I would like the selection to face when the mouse pointer hovers over the button. but how to do it?

Hello, I'm improving every day thanks to you, but I still have a little question.
in my installation I have a button UnInstall.png\UnInstallSelected.png and
WebSite1.png \ WebSite1Selected.png

I created the masks with the ciu tools (standard and selected) in auto mode and or 100%

the uninstall.png button is on the left the website button in the middle of the image both on the same line

but I have the same result when I put the mouse on website.png it selects the two buttons. to overcome this problem I add in the setup.ini the line

OnlyLabelClick=1

and it works much better except that the selection is made if I point the mouse on the install text and not on the uninstall.png button
and I would like the selection to face when the mouse pointer hovers over the button. but how to do it?
If your button is rectangular, you don't need to use click masks.

here it works with or without Password
you have to use the external Checkbox push compress setup.exe and when done Push the Compress setup.bin Button

so I packing my setup.bin with an Password when i will unpack it i put the password in the Field load the Setup.bin file an then push the extrackt Setup.bin Button.

there is also an Help file Push the Right mousebutton over the title with right klick to the Helpfile

Hello, I just understood. you must choose in compression: none for decompression to work
if you choose a compression mode it does not work.

Hello, I am coming back to you once again because I have another problem (all the others have been solved thanks to you).
This is about the progress bar.
I have the progress bar with the percentage that is displayed when I install a game.
I have the progress bar with the percentage that is displayed when checking the files.
But when uninstalling the game, I only have the percentages I don't have the progress bar.
I have the frame around it but only that.

for the progress bar I use the following two images:

ProgressBackground.png AND ProgressImg.png

Hello, I was using version 3.0.0.1 and encountered an issue where the uninstaller's progress bar wasn't working; only the percentage figure was displayed.

So, I downloaded the new version and modified `setup.ini` to match my files, but the uninstaller's progress bar still isn't working.

Do you have any ideas?
