Intel must be marked as unsupported in most cases.

[danswano]

Darn, i just noticed that the previews iss your provided that detected the CPU cores has the same ram issue, looks like we will revert to the original version until all fixed.

[Razor12911]

it will be easy to fix the cpu detection but will leave ram for now.

[danswano]

Not sure if you got me but the old script has a ram detection issue, it's detecting one stick out of 3.

[Razor12911]

It was a test update, I reverted the changes, ;)

[danswano]

Actually i've tried the initial release of yours after the unicode fix and it has the same issue, it's either a bug of the fix you did to make it work with unicode or the script is already bugged by the original developer it self. not sure :/

[Razor12911]

oh, you mean that.

The RAM Detection method used only works on 2GB Ram and nothing more, I guess, the thingy will have a dll file after all.

Thanks for noticing.

[danswano]

I think i will forget about it meanwhile.

Hello,
How to compress files inside packed file? i mean let's say i have a .pak file and this file contains lots of files inside, if i unpack it then compress it i will get a higher compression ratio, if i compress the packed file i get less compression ratio.

How to tell freearc or srep to detect those files inside the pack and compress them properly with having to unpack the file?

[pakrat2k2]

you cant tell it to detect that file. you can either compress it as it is or compress the unpacked version of the file, cant do both.

[danswano]

Hello,
I have a high end PC, how do i increase the compression speed in my parameter?

Thank you.

[Razor12911]

i = integer

Freearc
-mti for multi cputhread compression
-lc for compression memory
-use LMZA x64

[danswano]

Can you give a full parameter example for arc+srep using specific lc and mt please?

[Razor12911]

arc -ep1 -r -ed -m3 -mt4 -lc8192mb

for precomp, just look at the cmd prompt window and it will tell you what method to use for quick compression

for srep -mem384mb I think

Instructions on scripts which use ISDone v0.6

Ok, First things first.

This blackbox script/installer doesn't support internal compression therefore, I will show you how to use the freearc, 7zip, srep, precomp, winrar, diskchange unpacking.

Now here is an example and a few explainations.

if not ISArcExtract (Component, Progress, ArchiveSource, Destination, '', false, Password, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), True/False) then break;

if not IS7ZipExtract (Component, Progress, ArchiveSource, Destination, True/False, Password) then break;

if not ISRarExtract (Component, Progress, ArchiveSource, Destination, True/False, Password) then break;

if not ISSRepExtract (Component, Progress, ArchiveSource, Destination, True/False) then break;

if not ISPrecompExtract(Component, Progress, ArchiveSource, Destination, True/False) then break;

e.g.

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 100, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '1234', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), False) then break;

Component > Allows unpacking when the component is selected. Ask for more info about this.

e.g

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 100, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), False) then break;

Progress > The progressbar taken up by the unpacking progress of archive. Take NOTE, 100 is the total, therefore is it's one archive, set 100, if two, set 50 and the other 50

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 50, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), False) then break;

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 50, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data2.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), False) then break;

ArchiveSource > Now as you can see, the example, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'). The expandconstant is for the constant expansion for never mind it but you should take it for granted. {src} which means source of the setup, {pf} means the folder program files, for other constants, click here (http://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/topic_consts.htm).

e.g.

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 100, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), False) then break;

Destination > it acts the same way as the source of files but now you are directing the files in the archive to be unpacked in a folder, take note, this can only work if you are unpacking freearc, 7z or rar archive because they can contain a lot of files in one and as for precomp and srep, specify the destination file.

e.g.

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 100, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), notPCFonFLY{PCFonFLY}) then break;

if not ISPrecompExtract( 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{src}\data.pcf'), ExpandConstant('{app}\data.arc'), true) then break;

Password > The archive password set by you.

e.g.

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 100, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '1234', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), False) then break;

True/False > aka. notPCFonFLY {PCFonFLY} It's an option to delete file after unpacking process, True means, file must be deleted and False means file mustn't be deleted.

e.g.

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 100, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '1234', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), False) then break;

Now, here are a few examples.

The Password feature is only available for 7z, rar and arc.

Freearc

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 100, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '1234', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), False) then break;

7zip

if not IS7ZipExtract ( 0, 75, ExpandConstant('{src}\data1.7z'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), false, '1234') then break;

rar

if not ISRarExtract ( 0, 25, ExpandConstant('{src}\data.rar'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), false, '4321') then break;

srep

if not ISSRepExtract ( 0, 10, ExpandConstant('{app}\data.srep'),ExpandConstant(' {app}\data.pcf'), true) then break;

precomp

if not ISPrecompExtract( 0, 90, ExpandConstant('{app}\data.pcf'), ExpandConstant('{app}\data.arc'), true) then break;


Now comes to the diskchange

if not ShowChangeDiskWindow (Text, ExpandConstant('{src}'),Archive) then break;

Text > The text which should be written to notify the user of the setup on what to do.

Archive > The archive the setup can use for verification.

e.g.

if not ShowChangeDiskWindow ('Insert the next disk...', ExpandConstant('{src}'),'Data7.cab') then break;

How do I create a reg key universal x64 x32???

[danswano]

How do I create a reg key universal x64 x32???
Use the 32bit scheme and on 64bit OS it will insert it in the right place don't worry.

[Razor12911]

@danswano
hmm, it will also insert Wow6432Node on 32-bit which doesn't exist

[danswano]

If you use this key for example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\

on 32 bit it will be
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\

and on 64bit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\

Tested many times and on multiple Windows versions.

Installshield and advanced installer do the same.

Bottom of the line, there is no need to think or worry about the Wow6432Node at all.

[nicola16]

to work thanks

[Razor12911]

yeah, That's the only program I can use at the moment, I don't know how to use the Visual Basics and Visual Studios. :D Plus, Inno Setup has some other features which can be easily controlled.

[Razor12911]

Re: Designer

Guys am I a genius or what?

Finally discovered something to make the designer much easier, just by using Inno Setup and nothing else like the Visual Studio and other application programs. Check this out, I got two ways to create designer, either designer integrated inside the installer or just a separate program.

Here is the example below, You can move back button while in the installer and not via the script:eek:

How to check example, run setup.exe, click next then you'll see backbutton, drag it around but don't lose it, :D

[y_thelastknight]

nice work..

[Razor12911]

Maybe designer alpha will be released today or tomorrow

1102 Inno Setup Script Lines, got a feeling that it will be huge.

[nicola16]

this is designer for ciu?

[nicola16]

required disk space max 999 MB add another digit example 9999.

[Razor12911]

this is designer for ciu?
Nah, Specially designed for my source code, but yener90 CI and CIU Support can be added, can't ask him about it because he made an exception to Contacts and Moderators in Private Messaging.

And the 9999 MB can be simply converted to 10 GB :) because it's close to 1 gb but will update the limit to 4 digits

[nicola16]

ok peccato potrebbe semplificare il lavoro del ciu 1.0.0.6 :).
where is your code?.

[Razor12911]

I uploaded it sometime here but it's outdated will have to update it so it's not here, :D

[y_thelastknight]

ok peccato potrebbe semplificare il lavoro del ciu 1.0.0.6 :).
where is your code?.

i didn't get ur code too :( :p

[Razor12911]

Yeah yeah, you'll get it

Progress :40%

At least now, I've reached the stage whereby you can now load wizardimage and etc. :D

[pakrat2k2]

looks great will simplify things for a great many. once you've gotten it to testing phase.

[Razor12911]

45% complete

now, you can load jpg or bmp and png, re-arrange all you want,

create quick conversions

test attachment added :)

Requesting language translators...:rolleyes:

it's kinda funny, that all of this is been created just by using inno setup and nothing else, :D

Select Backgrounds under Autorun Interface Select tab standard configuration to load a simple file .jpg, Select tab advanced configuration to load a folder which has autorun#.jpg, Select tab expert configuration to load bmp and png image.

Hi.

Question about this line, e.g.:

arc a -ep1 -r -ed -w.\ .\Disk1\list.bin [email protected] -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

What is the difference between "-ep" and "-ep1".

When to use ep and when ep1...

What is "-ed" and when to use it.

Also, if I want to compress folder with files how to do it....

I mean if I later want to extract it to some folder it should be e.g. Some folder - my compressed folder with files inside.

Not Some folder - files from compressed folder.

I hope you understand my question.

I apologize if these was asked already before....

Thank You

EDIT: Thank You Joe Forster/STA for coding my line.

@other members what is the best compression script for internal

[Smurf Stomper]

interesting - yours displays the text on the finished page just fine.

As for compression, I think lzma2/ultra64 is the tightest that inno can offer, without having to resort to using .arc files like some scripts around the forums.

EDIT: I messed with my original script I had pasted - turns out if I change this

procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
var
FinishedLbl2: TLabel;
begin
if (CurPageID = wpFinished) then FinishedLbl2.Caption:= WizardForm.FinishedLabel.Caption;
end;

to this:

procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
var
FinishedLbl2: TLabel;
begin
FinishedLbl2.Caption:= WizardForm.FinishedLabel.Caption;

depends on they types of files trying to compress. some compress better then others. look at any of the scripts posted that use peter's method ( bat file ).

[Compiler]

If I compress few parts of a game with Srep only and rest with Srep and Precomp,then how to use ISDONE[i.e; srep for one files and srep+precomp for other] ?

[Razor12911]

@compiler
leave it as is, the arc.ini will solve your little problem.

[danswano]

Hello,
I have an issue with ISDone, let's say i have 2 arc archives
one to unpack to {app}\ and the second to {userdocs}\
When i uninstall the game it will remove the {app}\ data and leaves the docs.

Is there a solution so the files that copied to docs folder gets removed too?

[Razor12911]

hmm, try deltree, but it's doesn't make sense.

[danswano]

all files that are not copied to {pf} folder are not registered in the uninstall script, how to register them?

[Razor12911]

ask altef_4, he knows this. he did it with a filelist thingy.
but this is how you set it up.
DelTree(ExpandConstant('{userdocs}\Criterion Games'), True, True, True);

or something like this, now listen, I have a feeling that it's not a good idea of using deltree, so best to ask him.

[danswano]

hehe, will wait a little bit before PMing him, he might see it and reply.

Hi,
I have some points please :

1- what is the dif. between CI_Converted_To_CIU and CI 8.5.7.4 and CIU 1.0.0.6
in source projects ?

................

2-what is the best best command in Free arc for the highest compression ratio ?

................

3-How to compress videos and audio of games ?


................

4- What is the GDFBinary=GDF.dll

good tool for making custom binary/GDF dlls for games.
GDFMaker.7z


What is that ?

I mean when I get finished from all setting and compressing..etc
What should I do ?

[Razor12911]

1 - CI is a custom installer created by yener90, CIU is the advanced custom installer created by yener90, CI Conv CIU is CI Converted to CIU

2 - it depends on the files you are compressing.

3 - rather use srep compression or resample them

4 - gdf is the game binary, it shows and adds details of a the game in the registries and game explorer, gdf maker makes gmae binaries.

5 - it's the tasks the installer/setup should do.

6 - final files are autorun/setup.dll, setup.ini, setup.exe and setup.cab but you can use internal to make it autorun/setup.dll and setup.exe

[3rabGamers]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH :D

2 - it depends on the files you are compressing.U


How ? Can you explain more with examples of games sizes and types please ?


4 - gdf is the game binary, it shows and adds details of a the game in the registries and game explorer, gdf maker makes gmae binaries.

Is this important to use it when I repack a game ?

6 - final files are autorun/setup.dll, setup.ini, setup.exe and setup.cab but you can use internal to make it autorun/setup.dll and setup.exe

Yeeeeees HOW ? compile using innoscript ? or ?

@3rabGamers

2 -Repack teams and conversion makers use various softwares to bring down the game file sizes, the delete unwanted languages to make the game even smaller and they resample sounds and video.

To compress files, you need the best compressor, nanozip is the best but kinda difficult to use therefore use the second best, freearc.

Freearc involves a variety of external compressors like precomp, srep, tak and etc just find out what they do and how the work.

Now to compress a game, you need to check first what you are compressing. else it will be waste of time and resources, if you are compressing videos, sounds and already compressed files like fifa files (.big files), you'll hardly notice the difference therefore, if you are compressing something that can easily deflate, the results will be outstanding.

5 - hmm, It is and it's not, your choice.

6 - Read the tutorials in yener90 thread.

@huavancuong098

be specific, I don't get it.

[huavancuong098]

the problem is not with the button as play or instal or exit. When I used to perform CI desgin autorun file but the button is there, but when it comes to CIU, it is no longer the button anymore. Can you help me?

[Razor12911]

that has happened to my installer when I down clocked my processor to 933mhz and rams to 300mhz, else if your pc is faster than that check the setup.ini because I think they are not the same compared from CI to CIU

[huavancuong098]

So can you help me how to create one setup file is not the same as you. I am having problems in creating one piece setup like yener90 not. Because I saw the set of his very beautiful!

[Razor12911]

like create a script from scratch?

[huavancuong098]

Yes, I want to make one like him installer, how do I get the button out of him as being like that?

This is good or you have better?

Thank you very very much...+ if you can provide me with your facebook acc that will faster..I will not waste your time ^^

Hello,

I have a single 10 G.B file that i want to split to 3XDVD5 via arc+inno

How to split it?

i think freearc doesn't support file split function..

[danswano]

Yes it does not, it looks i will end up using some command line split/merge tool but how :/

[HellRazor]

He can do it just with Inno...

[danswano]

Sure, that's why i mentioned arc+inno.

[HellRazor]

Sure, that's why i mentioned arc+inno.

Yeah but you can't do it with arc+inno... You can do it with only with inno because arc does not support splitting the archives.

If you don't have anything specific, use Inno's wizzard.
Set DiskSpanning=true and set SlicesPerDisk as you see it fit.

[danswano]

I need the srep+arc compression ratio, lzma alone is not enough.

Portable in what way?

Hello,

I have a single 10 G.B file that i want to split to 3XDVD5 via arc+inno

How to split it?

It's not possible with freearc but I can show you a way to do it.

So if you are planning on fitting the 10gb file, this is what you should do. I will implement this on my source.

First, take the 10GB File, use 7zip/winrar to split files to maybe 4gb(if you want to put it in DVD5) then use freearc no compression on each split. maybe Data1.cab, Data2.cab and etc.

to extract do this

Use ISDone to extract the files

Extract Data1.cab, Data2cab and etc to app folder

Use Normal 7zip unpacking for the splits, isdone doesn't supported splitted files.

then back to isdone to extract the 10gb file,

Don't forget to delete them :D

Make an onchange for wizardform.diredit to update changes.

procedure DirEditOnChange(Sender: TObject);
begin

to add the two decimals use this mbortb

while ((Result[Length(Result)] = '0') or (Result[Length(Result)] = ',')) and (Pos(',', Result) > 0) do

Now I know this is meaningless post but helps out people dealing with scripts.

I compressed a file which is pretty much deflated.

Users can use this archive to test out their compression methods and etc and it saves time to apply precomp and etc.

the original file size is 440mb but I manage to drop it down to 318kb:eek::eek::eek:

If games were like this it would have been awesome. compress max payne 3 from 35gb to 765kb.

Try it.

Hey Flieforum users

Can someone help me with freearc and unarc.dll

It seems like unarc.dll(295kb) and unarc.dll(317kb) have different functions and unarc.dll(317kb) is the latest either than unarc.dll(320kb) therefore, I'd like to know which one to use if I'm using Freearc 0.67 Alpha December 12, 2012. because the one which works is unarc.dll(295kb) which is kinda of outdated.

Note: I use freearc.exe to compress and not arc.exe.

Thanks.

@pakrat,

Constants don't work under source directory, they only work under destination because it may vary therefore under source you must apply the direct directory without constants.

And sorry for late reply, was kinda busy.

You have an example script of how to use botva2

look around in this thread for botva2 example script. I think I posted it or instructed how it's used.

Either way, why don't you remove the image as background, you should place it on welcome page then use the wide small wizrd image on top of the wizardform, it's just a suggestion. Else you can place a text background specially designed for text so that it can be clearly seen whilst using the full image.

I created an arc with no compression --> data.arc
I then precomped it with " -intense -v -c-"
and the file i got was -----> data.pcf
I then compressed it with free arc again "-mx -ld1600m" and got it as
data.arc......

i wanted to extract use this file in my setup which i created with Yenner90's Custom Installer...

i used this

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Data.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;P recSrep:0

but it didn't work...
so processed the pcf file with SREP 64 and got ---> data.pcf.srep
compressed it with freearc again to make it ---> data.arc

and then used the same extract settings....but i still got the same error...
can anyone plzz help me in gettin outta this ????

http://s15.postimg.org/gsuhjyorf/Untitled.jpg

procedure of compressing is

data.arc - freearc
data.pcf - precomp
data.srep - srep/srep64
data.cab - freearc(.cab can be changed with any extension)
PrecSrep:1; (Must be enabled if ARC-PCF-SREP-ARC method is used)

Still get the same error :(:(

add PrecompVer=Inside at bottom of [Installoptions] section,
with PrecompVer=Inside you DONT need PrecSrep:1 at end of FreeArcFile1 line...
ONLY if you made your archives old way
freearc -m0 compression data.arc
precomp data.arc > data.pcf
srep data.pcf > data.srep
freearc ( -m9x -ld192m (max compression method you want ) data.srep > data.xyz ( extension can be any name. ))

and REMOVE [InstallSettings] shouldnt be there.

MyExecutableName=hitmanbooldmoney.exe > typo ? should be hitmanbloodmoney

This happens because of cjstyles. Happens sometimes on Win7 too. Simple way, remove cjstyles from the installer. :D
or you need to add a exception to the exe on Data Execution Prevention.

Not directly related on innosetup, more with the compression:

I want to use srep as I am unable to compress a game to the required size I need, I have downloaded freearc and the powerpack and added the
"[External compressor:srep]
packcmd = srep {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep -d {options} - - <stdin> <stdout>"
Line to my 'Arc.ini' in my freearc bin folder.

The problem is that the GUI does not have any new options for srep or anything, so how on earth do I use Srep?

I have checked the batch file in the "INNO TROUBLESHOOT - Tutorials and Answers about INNO Setup" section but to me it simply looks like someone facerolled on their keyboard and made it a .bat file. He talks about different parameters and such, without explaining any of them, then gives an example with a whole lot of extra stuff in it that wasn't explained (eg; "arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ .\data1.cab [email protected]" has 0 explanation and I cannot comprehend it at all).

And where would I put the Game Directory?

If explaining is too hard, Could someone give me an example of a batch use purely for Srep?

Please, i am desperate.

particularly this bit here:
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ .\data3.cab

It seems like it has something to do with running freearc (hence the 'Arc'), with a few options (Such as a -ep1 -r -w), followed by the destination of the archive once it is made.

The problem is, I do not know what each parameter does, and I cannot see where the destination starts and parameters end (the -w.\.\ is confusing me, is the first '.' part of the parameter, or the destination? I have not seen a -w parameter on freearc so I do not know where it comes from). Also, the 'ep1' isn't explained either.

[pakrat2k2]

look at any one of the newest conversions by Fabioddq, REV0, others & look in the compress.bat file, you'll soon see where the game dir is entered, as well as some of the other options. Google search would have turned up a ton of pages, all that explains the commandline options. Open the link below & scroll down to see options & explanations for them. :) Don't worry its for any earlier version as option descriptions etc still apply.


http://freearc.org/FreeArc036-eng.htm

[inovateqsa]

Thanks.

I eventually found the page though.

Now I'm trying to make sense of the lzma command lines, I've searched but couldn't find anything explaining them. It seems as though they are on that page further down though, so guess I'll start reading.

Just a quick question though: For the Match finder BT4, it applies to normal up to ultra compression but how do yo select which one to use?
EG: -msrep64+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 (What would I need to add/change to that to use lzma Ultra, and is the "Srep64" right, I want to use srep64 instead of the normal one?)

In precomp 0.3.8 there is a slow mode but in 0.4.2 there is no slow mode, what equals the slow mode in 0.4.2?

[pakrat2k2]

same switches in all precomp versions

[danswano]

You can't use -slow in 0.4.2

[pakrat2k2]

then update to 043 & switch(s) are in arc.ini


[External compressor:precomp]
header = 0
mem = 10
packcmd = precomp -slow {options} -o$$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

[External compressor:srep]

@danswano

You should install the game, then create "conversion"......

[danswano]

hmm, Those aren't splits. 7zip splits end with .001 extension

Yes dude, but when you rename .arc files to .cab for example that does not mean it's a cab file.

[Razor12911]

not with 7zip. try it yourself.

2.hide off bitmap

3.create OnClick option for on bitmap (music off,hide on bitmap,show off bitmap)

4.create OnClick option for off bitmap (music on,hide off bitmap,show onnbitmap)

easy method :p

Hi mate. Regards. As would do this. I'm a newbie. I use the Kurutucu script --> http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=416587&postcount=1

Having a rather irritating problem with external compression at the moment:

Every time I try to install using external compression I get an "Unsupported compression method" error.

Full Details:

Using this .Bat for compression:

"echo Compressing files, please wait...
arc a -ep1 -w.\ .\Compressed\Data1.cab -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Red Alert 3 Uprising"
echo.All done.
pause
Exit"

This is my Setup.ini Extract settings:
"FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1; PrecSrep:1"

The Exact Error I get:
"An Error ocurred Wile Unpacking: Unknown compression Method!
Unarc.dll returned an error code: -2
ERROR: Unsupported compression method
srep+lzma:177mb:normal:bt4:128:mc1000:lc8"

I have tried recompiling, and recompressing at least 3 times and every time it's the same error.

I am using CI 8.5.7.4

Any ideas on how I can get it to work?
I'm Desperate.

Hello razor, how do i call 7z to unpack a file using ISExcec or even call arc to unpack an arc file using it as well.
I need to know how to use ISExcec cause it's not working for me.
for example:
if not ISExec ( 0, 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.exe'), ExpandConstant('x "{src}\data.arc" "{app}\"'), ExpandConstant('{tmp}'), '...',false) then break;
This one is not unpacking anything.

[Razor12911]

Try this.

if not ISExec ( 0, 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\7z.exe'), '-o"' + ExpandConstant('{app}') + '" x -y "' + ExpandConstant('{src}\data.7z') + '" ', ExpandConstant('{tmp}'), '...',false) then break;

remove precsrep:1 from freearcfile1 line & add PrecompVer=inside to top section in setup.ini

You are awesome Razor, i've been googling since days to find a solution and only you did it.
Thank you :)

[danswano]

Dear razor, is it possible to unpack a passworded 7z file?

[pakrat2k2]

only if password is known

[danswano]

only if password is known

Dude the file is mine but i want to tell IS the password.

[Razor12911]

if not ISExec ( 0, 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\7z.exe'), '-o"' + ExpandConstant('{app}') + '" x -y -pPASSWORD "' + ExpandConstant('{src}\data.7z') + '" ', ExpandConstant('{tmp}'), '...',false) then break;

[danswano]

Razor the awesome, as always. :)
Thanks buddy.

[Razor12911]

You're Welcome bud. :D

[danswano]

Dear razor, can you explain for me what are the first 3 zeros for?
in ISArcExtract there is 2 zeros while in ISExec there is 3
or i f you don't know what they are for at least can you tell me which one stands for process percentage?

[Razor12911]

the second zero from the left defines progress percentage.
first is for components
third is for SpecifiedProcessTime

[danswano]

the second zero from the left defines progress percentage.
first is for components
third is for SpecifiedProcessTime

EDIT: Got it, thank you :)

[danswano]

Because the time and accurate percentage is not known properly to IS it jumps from 50% to 150% after the ISExec is done, how to avoid this?
I know that there is a feature related to records.inf but i don't know how to use or even create the right records.inf file.
Can you help me please? :)

[Razor12911]

total progress is 100, so just split the current process.

[danswano]

total progress is 100, so just split the current process.
Sure dude but it's not working for me this time.

[Razor12911]

I see, ISExec progress percentage don't want to work.
I also don't know how to use records.inf.

But I have a solution to this.

don't set progress for all archives, leave it to zero

add this

Var
ArcInt: integer;

begin
ArcInt:=3 //defines the number of archives involved in process.

ISDoneProgressBar1.Max:= ISDoneProgressBar1.Max * ArcInt
end;

Put these lines under procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);

[danswano]

Can you please explain what these codes can do to the overall progress? :)

[Razor12911]

post your entire CurStepChanged procedure.

[danswano]

post your entire CurStepChanged procedure.

procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);

var Comps1,Comps2,Comps3, TmpValue:cardinal;
FindHandle1,ColFiles1,CurIndex1,tmp:integer;
ExecError:boolean;
InFilePath,OutFilePath,OutFileName:PAnsiChar;
begin
if CurStep = ssInstall then begin
CheckTasks;
WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Hide;
WizardForm.CancelButton.Hide;
CreateControls;
WizardForm.StatusLabel.Caption:=ExpandConstant('{c m:Extracted}');
ISDoneCancel:=0;
ExtractTemporaryFile('CallbackCtrl.dll');
InitWin7TaskBar;
ExtractTemporaryFile('unarc.dll');

[Razor12911]

procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);

var Comps1,Comps2,Comps3, TmpValue:cardinal;
FindHandle1,ColFiles1,CurIndex1,tmp:integer;
ExecError:boolean;

ExtractTemporaryFile('unarc.dll');
ArcInt:=3 //defines the number of archives involved in process, You can use {#ArcNumber}.
ISDoneProgressBar1.Max:= ISDoneProgressBar1.Max * ArcInt

[danswano]

Got this error when installation starts:

[Razor12911]

fix this

ExpandConstant('{c m:Extracted}');

space of cm in between

to this

ExpandConstant('{cm:Extracted}');

[danswano]

Each ArcInt i set represent a full 100% bar
i mean if i set it to 3 i get 300%.
should i enable records?

[Razor12911]

yep. totally. will go offline. going to attend my classes. :D

@Pakrat:

After Removing the "Precsrep:1" and adding "Precompver=inside" to the "[InstallOptions]" section of the Setup.ini, I now get the Following error:

"Srep:
Not an Srep Compressed File"

Then,

"An error occurred while unpacking!
Unarc.dll returned an error code: -1
ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails)"

The first error is weird, because you can see the batch file i used to compress clearly uses srep (I also have the srep.exe in the same folder as the .bat file while compressing).

The second error makes no sense, as I have tried compressing multiple times, the odds of all of them being corrupted are almost nil.

I should probably add that this is the first time I am using external compression in innosetup, up till now I have only used internal (The second disc for R.A Uprising is only 18mb, so It would really be a waste of a disc). Do you think I might have missed something?

[pakrat2k2]

make sure arc.ini is added to setup.cab, so installer knows with arc method your using.

[danswano]

Why i can't achieve the same size?
Hello,
I saw a file compressed using precomp+srep like this:
precomp+srep:m3f:a1+lzma:69mb:normal:bt4:128:lc8
the file contents original size is 2.3g.b and the result was 1g.b

i've tried to unpack the files then pack them using the same method above or some custom methods of my own but i always end up with a file size 2g.b

what are the factors that would make precomp detect more streams to downsize the file with such ratio?
Or in other words, what methods would have been applied on the file not appearing in archive info solid blocks tab?

Thanks. :)

[Razor12911]

have you tried precomp038?

[danswano]

Yes sure with slow mode.

Anyone have the latest ISDone.dll and the other related files that supports srep3.91BETA?

[pakrat2k2]

Anyone have the latest ISDone.dll and the other related files that supports srep3.91BETA?

wherever you fond out about srep3.91BETA, should have the associated files needed for it there.

[danswano]

I got it from Freearc dev site but ISDone is refusing to extract files packed using it.

[pakrat2k2]

your arc.ini isn't right....

packcmd = srep {options} -m3f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep -d -s $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

should work for any version.

[danswano]

I've tried this already but i always get this error:

What should i replace in my ISDone directory /includes other than arc.ini?

have you tested this with 3.91beta arc packed file?

[pakrat2k2]

if using inno script, the arc.ini has to be in setup folder too. ( in setup.cab )

[danswano]

I've used ISDone with many many archives already and they extract fine although arc.ini is not included in files list, how this is possible?
Is it because of CLS-srep ?

EDIT: i've included arc.ini and allowed to extract into /tmp and i got the same error. :(

[danswano]

Looks like i've answered my question without notice, got the new cls-rep and it worked :)
Thank you for your help. :)
