2.i need you to tell me what's the best compression ratio for internal installation i now use this

Compression=lzma2/ultra64
;ExtraDiskSpaceRequired={#ExtraNeedSize}
LZMADictionarySize=65536
CompressionThreads=3
LZMANumFastBytes=273
SolidCompression=yes
LZMAUseSeparateProcess=yes

is this the best of it?

3. after game installed if i run the dvd again it doesn't detect that the game is installed meaning that the play button is not active why is that? the game i try to install doesn't have key in registry by default so i create a simple key for it have a look on it

[Registry]
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\THQ\DoW2 CR"; ValueName: UninstallString; ValueData: {uninstallexe}; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;

is that right? or i have to do something else?

that's all for now

1. It could be encode error

2. yes, lzma2/ultra 64 is the strongest compression for internal setups

3. Because INNO has it's own regkeys so it will detect that game is not installed, that's normal.

And like i stated in tutorial, DO NOT play with Subkey.

In every case, subkey will look like this:

Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\{code:GetAppPublisher}\{code:GetAppName}"...

ok new question i will use external compressor but i still need the command line for compress a folder that contains a lot of sub-folders
so what to write ? cause if i wrote the path for it followed by \. it compress the contents but not the folders -files only- i need to know what code to write so it compress not just the files in the main game folder but also the folders in it which surly contains data
here is what i did

arc a -ep -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "%choice1%\*" -x"%choice1%\GameAssets"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail

this will exclude GameAssets folder and should compress every thing else but it only compress the other files in the main folder but not the other folders

thanks for advise

You have to separate bin files for each folder. You cant compress 2 folder and it's contents i believe.

ok guys let get in the middle here i have tried using -r command but it didn't done the job for me :( and here is what i mean
http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/1434/17104825.jpg

as you see in the image there is files and folder compressed in the .bin file the problem is the folder
Assets contains sub-folders ArchiveDesign and Maps which are compressed out of the Assets folder......!!!! :confused:
also the files inside these sub-folders are compressed out of them .......!!! :confused:
these files should be inside these sub-folders and these sub-folders should be inside the Assets folder
here the command i used

arc a -ep -r -w.\ .\Disk2\Data2.bin -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "%choice1%\Assets"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail

you will notice that i used -r command which gives me the same result if i didn't use it and write at the end of the command \. to be like this

so help please :)

you'll use -r, -x, -n values between lc8 and ''choice1 in my TDU2 conversion.

If you used BAMSE's, the one i gave in tutorial thread, you'll use them instead -w.

So, both of bat files are different. I suggest to start from BAMSE's, so make thing easier as beginning.

ok guys here is another problem i got when moving on to 2 step
GameAssets folder contains 4 sub-folders i need to compress 2 of them to be .bin file and the other 2 to another .bin file
i used the code above but i ended with strange result which is compressing the GameAssets folder in the first bin file which i excluded it in the code like you see above and the compress the contents of the GameAssets folder
to another bin file
you see here that GameAssets folder exist and-it's not visible here-it's sub-folders too and it's empty
http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/1885/58250068.jpg

and here is the contents of one of the sub-folders in the other bin file

HI.....

how to add in this script to install directx , visual c++ can choose on installation screen

[REV0]

bin them separately, then. It total there will be 4 bin file for each of them. Then you can edit setup.ini like described in tutorial thread

[REV0]

They're already there. If you're asking for another conversion refer this thread:

Hi....me again
this can run program.msi or not??

[REV0]

Launcher will run .msi, exe files, however in compiling, it will not create msi extension setups.

Hi....me again

yes you can run MSI from script.

I don't understand your problem! :confused:
If you want to exclude GameAssets folder you need something like this
arc a -r -ep1 -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 -n"%choice1%\*" -x"%choice1%\GameAssets\*"

:confused:

[pakrat2k2]

Launcher will run .msi, exe files, however in compiling, it will not create msi extension setups.

the launch he's refering to is the one to run directx, vcredist, etc ( it will run a MSI file just fine ) it doesnt create a msi setup, but includes the command to run the msi file within the setup.exe. ( it's in the setup.ini, remember ?! :) )

Yep, i know first time i read his post i thought he was asking how to create setup.msi..

Too much work, too little time; brain cell overheat

:confused:
yeah i know this must be confusing i want to exclude GameAssets from first bin and on the 2 step compress 2 folders located in the GameAssets folder and 3 step the other 2 in GameAssets folder
that's all meaning 3 bin files .:D
that's all but i still have the problem i described up there

any help?!!!! :)

[pakrat2k2]

to make it easier for yourself, run the bat file for bins 2 & 3 only, set the choice command beforehand

IE: set choice1=x:\Gamename\GameAssets\

this way the default folder is the GameAssets subfolder, then you can add the folders you dont want to include in the bin2/bin3 archives.

-x"%choice1%\subfolder1\*", -x"%choice1%\subfolder2\*".... this will create the archive you want without those 2 subfolder NOT in bin2 archive, same for bin3 archive but reverse the 2 subfolders of course.

Hi Revo.
Congratulation for this tutorial of Inno Setup.

How can i make text box transparent (Welcome to the blá blá) on Inno Setup?

See the example below.
3712

Thanks in advance.

[BAMsE]

Andre Jesus it's just PNG with some transparency (setup.cab\setup\textbg.png)

[REV0]

Also, you can use same TextBG.png just resize it via setup.ini

[yener90]

delete TextBG.png from Setup.cab

[JacksMafia]

thanks you very much pakrat2k2 for advise it worked for me
but i still have problem in installing the game i used this code for compressing

arc a -r -ep1 -w.\ .\Disk1\Data3.bin -mprecomp042:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc100 0:lc8 "%choice1%\*"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail

which means that i used precomp and srep in compressing -long time to do it i know- now when i install the game what code should i write in setup.ini?
i use this
FreeArcFile3={src}\Data3.bin;DestDir:{app}\GameAss ets;Disk:1;PrecSrep:1;Lang:en

but when installer reach for bin 3 it just freeze and don't do any thing should precomp be in setup.cab ? or what is the right code to write in setup.ini?

this the last step
helpppppppppppppp

[BAMsE]

FreeArcFile3={src}\Data3.bin;DestDir:{app}\GameAss ets;Disk:1;PrecSrep:1;Lang:en

You don't need it since it's used for old precomp+srep method. If you're compressing via commandline and in one step, then all you need is
PrecompVer=inside
in setup.ini

[JacksMafia]

yeah i'm compressing via commandline but it's not one step this is the 3 step but only for data3 i used this
arc a -r -ep1 -w.\ .\Disk1\Data3.bin -mprecomp042:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc100 0:lc8 "%choice1%\*"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail

the first 2 bins just used this
-srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc100 0:lc8
and i have tried what you said and nothing when it comes to extract the data3 it just stop no error massages or any thing else only the first 2 bins extracting perfect
i also tried
PrecompVer=0.42
didn't work
please save my day

EDIT: i have found the problem and solve it thanks every one for helping me

[Andre Jesus]

delete TextBG.png from Setup.cab

Andre Jesus it's just PNG with some transparency (setup.cab\setup\textbg.png)

Thank you dears.

But my script is not based on the script Yener.
I'm doing it manually, so it needed to know how to make inno setup call this picture as the background of the text.
Is possible put this transparent background text, making a play MP3 music during the install mode, put the splash image, change the color bar progress .... only using inno setup? Or this is only possible if i based on the script Yener?

Please see attached an example of what I'm trying to do.:confused:

post how you fixed it. so others have this information, incase they run into same problem.

[JacksMafia]

post how you fixed it. so others have this information, incase they run into same problem.
what the problem was?
will i can't say that i'm stupid but -anyway- i was using CI 8.3.5.1 which had precomp v 0.42 i compressed the game with it but it just stop when it comes to extracting and then i notice that new version of CI 8.5 has precomp too the same version but the size of it was different
in CI 8.3.5.1 size was 768 kb -as i remember-
in CI 8.5 size was 1.42 mb
so i took a wild guess that the error was in precomp and i start compressing again with the big one and after a lot of hours i found that i was right about precomp version there is some thing wrong about CI 8.3.5.1 and the percomp version inside it

that's all -sorry for late replay-
Jacks

[yener90]

i hope you are using the precomp executable inside the "include" folder for compressing using commandline...
installer gets problems if you use an other version

[JacksMafia]

yeah i was using it when i did the compression -the failed one- and then i just replaced it with the new one from v 8.5
and that worked like charm
BTW thanks for your work i couldn't done this if you didn't create this great app
you really made my day mate
thanks

[JacksMafia]

guys what about if a want to use 7z+ serp for compression what code should i write in bat file?
and what about arc.ini what i should write if using 7z+ serp?
also
-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc100 0:lc8
is this the best compression serp can do? if not then what is?

thanks

Here's my question. Let's say I want to add some optional mods to my installation. How to add them to the installation and how to make backups of possible overwrited files? I'm guessing this belongs to the [Components] section but I don't have much time at the moment to experiment by myself, hence my question here :D

[Brazilica]

Hi. I want to make a conversion but i'm stuck at the setup.exe. I want to modify the setup.exe in order to ask me when to insert the second disk. if i don't modify the setup file i will receive an error "error, the file is not on thie disk" (something like that) but if i'll insert the second disk and press ok the instalation will continue.
The folder looks like that:
http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7821/58851823.jpg

You can download the setup file from here (http://www.mediafire.com/?c867bloie5ha8zp)

[REV0]

According yo yener's script (and assuming every exe has same system) the information you're looking to change was actually created WHEN bin files were created by setup.

So, to simplify the explanation, for example;

If you have 3 bin and setup.exe which were created bt script, the installation will check these 3 bin files during installation. If you put 2 bin files instead of 3, setup will ask 'Insert disk1', if you put 4 or more instead of 3, setup will continue to install without asking it.

When some setups are saying only 'insert next disk' some of them are demanding correct bin files and disk numbers. I suggest to re-create or convert your game instead of editing (if it's easy to do)

[Brazilica]

I made a 3xDVD5 conversion. Everityhing is ok except that the setup ask for disk1 instead of disk2 and disk3, but this is not a major problem.

Thx. Have a nice day

your problem is in setup.ini you have to modify it so the setup ask you for disk 2 so if you have 3 data files on first disk make the forth like this

FreeArcFile1={src}\Data4.bin;DestDir:{app};Disk:2

so Data4.bin is on disk 2 notice Disk number in the last of the line ;)

that's all have fun :)

how to auto launch settings.exe after install finish yener90's inno script

If i'm not mistaken it does not support auto launch of an exe file. However you can add it as second exe file in setup so, you will see play and setting exe i n autorun part. Also on desktop. Investigate yener's alan wake conversion along with his explications in tutorial thread.

aFTER installing max payne 3 from inno setup provided by peter i get this error-

"PlayMaxPayne3 has encountered a problem and need to be close"

this error is only on windows xp and also the compressed setup was not launching on xp.

what to do?

[Joe Forster/STA]

"PlayMaxPayne3 has encountered a problem and need to be close"

This is a general error message; be more specific.

[vasu001]

This is a general error message; be more specific.

1.) Well maybe it is,but before compressing the installer of game was perfectly working in both xp and 7 but now it is only working in win7[i have dual windows].

2.) before ,with original installer the game was not giving this error but now it gives in xp. [i have installed the game in 7 and its working there but not on xp].

well thats my problem..........

Also one more thing.- Do i have to keep those leftover files like compress.bat,levels1,levels2,etc. the files outside Disks 1,2,3,4 folders.:confused:

[kumarvivek1990]

can anyone tell me how to add directx setup in the installer before installing game file. I already have have the full installation on the disk and want to install it from dvd. please also tell me coding which is to be added in the install script file(i.e .iss file)

[kumarvivek1990]

Can background images be added in the installer without the need of setup.cab & and setup.ini & also provide me the coding to be added in compiler(if possible)?

You should ask this to peterf himself because CI you used belongs to him

AFAIK, you can't edit current installation files to add DX.

Can background images be added in the installer without the need of setup.cab & and setup.ini & also provide me the coding to be added in compiler(if possible)?

You need cab for backgrounds. You can do internal setup and merge cab and exe tho.

hi guys i 'm trying to do Command And Conquer Red Alert 3-old game i know but very good one- but i'm stuck with movies folder with 3.78 gb of .vb6 files this is the codes i have tried
-mprecomp:t-nfj:zl78,99:d0+srep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m: fb128:mc1000:lc8
and i tried this too
-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

and i have tried to do the job with freearc but no good i only managed to compress the rest of the game files from 3.78 gb to 1.92

any ideas?!!!

thanks

[BAMsE]

All video formats use compression so movies are poorly compressed with archivers. Only way to shrink their size is to recompress them. vb6 is some mp4 container so it'll be quite complicated.

i see no point.

If someone want a small installer can get it by simply clicking compact button and i want to knew

[inovateqsa]

I am trying to add the video for my duke nukem to my custom installer, yet no matter what I try it simply will not work.

I Downloaded it from youtube in mp4 format, then used any video converter to convert it to avi format, and finally renamed it to "Video" and then put it in the backgrounds folder.

Is there something I am missing?

-I Originally posted this in the support section, i think that may have been the wrong place. If it is, please just delete or ignore that question.

[REV0]

You have to use following settings for yener's CI:

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3931/supermw.jpg

[inovateqsa]

Yeah, I've already seen those settings and tried them.

Any video converter doesn't have the exact setting though, so I get them as close as possible.
The only differences are in "Video Bit Rate" - which is 2000kbs, and "Audio Bitrate" - which is 192kbs.
The formats (Xvid, Mp3, Avi etc.), and the audio sample rate are all exactly the same.

Will I have to use that specific converter?
And if so - what is it's name?

[pakrat2k2]

the app for video conversions --> [ SUPER 2012 build 53 ]

[yener90]

inovateqsa
make sure you choose MEncoder and did you tried an other installer with video? does it show there on your system?

[inovateqsa]

Yeah, I also have sleeping dogs and I used a ready made conversion from this site for that one.

The video on it plays fine.

I will try with the Super 2012 converter instead. It is probably my video converter that is the problem, it does not have any option similar to MEncoder.

[inovateqsa]

Nope, no matter how hard I try it simply refuses to display the Video.

I use Keepvid.com to download the trailer in 720p Mp4, then use Super 2012 to convert it, then rename it to "Video", and finally put it in the setup.cab's "background" folder. It just refuses to play.

Pictures work fine.

These are the settings I am using:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/90/newbitmapimageqq.png/

(I do not have an account with imageshack - so i cannot use a direct link)

I am using CI 8.5.6.9.

Does anyone have any clue on what the problem could be?

Thanks.

Use latest version of CI perhaps ?

nah, still doesn't work.

I give up, pics it is.

-thanks anyway.

[REV0]

In fact, i just tried one of my with-video conversion and it's not working either, that's interesting, yep video function is not working anymore.

[Stacked Deck]

Use AVS Convertor

Use The Settings On The Picture

[REV0]

The thing is i ran my MOH conversion and it's not working dunno why... So nothing about video settings, existing stuff is not working either

[Stacked Deck]

I also had the same problem but this convertor does the job.

[REV0]

Still not working for yener's CI

[medoman]

revo i did everything in the topic but i still don't know how to compress

i mean how to do this with the compiler

[REV0]

compress is a wide thread and discussion mate

[Stacked Deck]

Still not working for yener's CI

What Ci version?

[REV0]

Done

[Stacked Deck]

Use valeron's installer as a video tester.

[Stacked Deck]

Done
what is done?

[REV0]

Done is, installing codec pack, looks like yener's CI still needs some codecs to work properly, install them and it's good to go

[Stacked Deck]

Ok. Thanks

Hello Friends........

First of all i want to tell u that i am a noob in this compression field so bare with me....

This is what i want to ask -
I downloaded peterf1999 Assassin's Creed III (2x DVD9 to 2x DVD5) *Standard Edition* *FULL* setup and converted my game..final size 5.60 GB .it installed without problem....

now what i want to know is

1. how to insert video[that i want] in the setup[i don't want to do compression again but it will be ok if i had to as a final solution]..

also i want to add music while slide show is going on and also when in compact view....

so please kindly help me...i have dictated my problem to peterf1999 but it seems he is not answering for some important reasons of his[busy may be,no complaints].......

2. also there is one more thing,i have a dlc folder in 2nd dvd5.i want to execute its setup.exe file automatically as soon as the installation gets finished.... how to do so?.

thanks in advance...............

well its related to max payne 3 inno setup by peterf1999 but since the query is related to inno setup so iam posting it here.

can i compress idata.bin file at a time.......

[pakrat2k2]

inno does compress only 1 file at a time. ( look in your temp folder & notice the freearctmp filename, while inno is compressing what you've specified)

[vasu001]

read my post 104 and solve it as well please......

[pakrat2k2]

sure, you CANT with peter's conversion, its closed source. You'll have to choose another conversion by REV0, Fabioddq, then you can input video you want into the setup.cab file. ( you just open the cabfile, and replace the video, with same name as whats there already ) you can do the same with images music etc.

Hi all.

I created a custom installer with Inno Setup, but when I'm trying to install the program in a place that does not have enough space, the installer dont displays the feedback informed not to try again, give up or cancel out instead of that, it freezes and I can not leave or cancel.
What is the code I use to create this feedback you can not install due to not having space.

[Razor12911]

where is your custom installer?

[Andre Jesus]

where is your custom installer?

Hi Razor 12911, sorry my fault.
Please see attached my installer.
I'm also trying to put the PNG button on / off music during installation, but could not. I think I have to create a TPanel but do not know exactly which codes for it.

Thanks in advance.

[Razor12911]

ok what do you want to add or fix?

[Andre Jesus]

ok what do you want to add or fix?

1) Put a button PNG to on/off the music during instalation. Like this:

2) Correct the message insufficient space when installed on a hard drive that has enough space. It's message is not appearing in my script.
The installer is frozen instead of showing the message to abort, retry or cancel.

3) Put the imagem glass.png on Wizardform, like this:

How to put a background music on a basic custom installer in unicode or ansi version doesn't matter & is registry entries r possible on the basic custom installer can u give me some example to show how

[pakrat2k2]

How to put a background music on a basic custom installer in unicode or ansi version doesn't matter & is registry entries r possible on the basic custom installer can u give me some example to show how

reg entries are simple, you grab them from your original installed game version, then using reg to inno conversion program english version ( under useful programs ( joe edited it to english from russian ) ).

http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=92995

Its make as ISS script from your saved reg file, the entire contents from the script go into [REGISTRY] section of your inno script.

DO NOT INSTALL, JUST RUN THE EXE TO SEE HOW THE MUSIC BUTTON LOOKS, THEN CANCEL INSTALL

here's a music button script that adds music to your script ( in russian so translate to english ). In the output dir is a setup.exe, just run it and you'll see the music botton in lower LH corner, you can change the image of the button & sound played by making appropriate changes to the files used. ( use any on CI8.5.7.4 or CIU etc for image / sound files )

good luck :)

what is the best compression code in compress.bat file to compress a game of 10gb with media folder inside containing videos folder of 3.85gb and rest files in media folder of around 7.68 gb............

I want to compress the entire folder[main] in one go to 3.98-4.20 gb.......

I think its possible to compress that much to 4 GB [as peterf1999 was able to do] if i use external compression............

so please tell the code.....

It' depends, the media files are hard head files whch can't be compression unless you remake them.
You can try the arc-pcf-srep-arc method to compress.

I installed this file. exe and it destroyed almost all my programs when I uninstall. My folder of files and programs (x86) gone, including paid programs and data I had on my work:eek:, nothing works on my PC. I'll have to format my machine.:mad:

pakrat2k2 any comments about this file. exe?

[pakrat2k2]

you DONT install it, you just run the EXE to see how the music button looks, then cancel install. IF you'd looked thru the script you'd have seen that.

[Grumpy]

@Andre Jesus
Do a system 'Restore' back to before you installed the exe. ;)

[vasu001]

After compression i am getting .bin files........what to do in setup.ini to extract them?

[pakrat2k2]

just make sure in setup.ini there is NO [ExtractSettings] section... why not read the thread on the CI Tutorial all your questions/answers are there!

I will start the installer from scratch, it has a lot of unusual line. BMP will be replace by Jpg's and etc.

No problem Razor12911, after studying various scripts, this was the result.
I could use the script Yener, I know that is very good and complete, but I just wanted to learn how to use the functions I need. For example, I want to put a button on / off music during installation, but I cant just remove it of the script Yener and insert in my script.

Any help to improve will be welcome.

Thank you very much and happy a new year.
P.S Sorry my bad english.

No problem my friend, actually that was a good reason to install Windows 8 on my PC.;)

Anyway, thank you.

Hi all.

How can i create this message on inno setup?

http://s7.postimage.org/jeh0gwycb/Message.jpg

My installer warns me that has no space only during installation, but want him to let me know before you start the installation.
I also want the message to appear "rolling back".

Hi again.

I created a new panel to insert a button.png with the function on/off the music during installation, however, i dont know the script to inser the button.png and the function on/off music during installation.
Please show me the script to insert a button.png and de funtion on/off music during installation on the TPanel that i created.

My idea of creating a new TPanel is correct?

This is the TPanel that i created (the black form in the left side down)

please can anyone tell me how to add multiple archive extracting to valerons scripts no 10 and 12 link-http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=93298
i just want to extract only free arc files and no srep or precomp or anything else. even if add lines to script the progress bar shows 200 to 300 percent.

[pakrat2k2]

find #define records and add ; or // to front of line. ( skip the line )

also add ; for either archive names, or define programfiles... & compile the script. this will generate the proper records.inf file for the archives / files in the conversion. then remove the ; or // from where you put them & run the conversion. This should then have a proper progressbar that only goes to 100%.

sorry bro i tried but i cant do it plz do this for me. script no 10 an 12

Hello.

I loaded 4 images .jpg (with botva2.dll) to use like background on my installer, however, the images just stay in welcome page (ID wpWelcome) one upon another.
How can i set each image like background in your respective page?

This is my idea:
image 1.jpg like bagkground on Welcomepage (wpWelcome)
image 2.jpg like background on Readypage (wpReady)
image 3.jpg like background on Installpage (wpInstalling)
image 4.jpg like background on Finishedpage (wpFinished)

This is my script.

Can someone teach me how to add registry entries on my conversion?

[JacksMafia]

guys i have small problem here i have reg key it's already done but there is only one problem in here it is
Root: HKLM; SubKey: SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\Red Alert 3; ValueType: string; ValueName: CD Drive; ValueData: J:\; Flags: uninsdeletevalue uninsdeletekeyifempty

what i should write instead of this red letter which indicates where the game was installed from?

any ideas?!!

thanks

[pakrat2k2]

your matching drive letter for cdrom-drive

[JacksMafia]

yeah i know that i was asking about this
the original setup detect where the game was installed from and i want my setup to do the same and write this in the reg file

[pakrat2k2]

that one value is insignificant, whole line can be deleted from reg section. doesnt matter where it was installed from.

Hello guys.

How can i use a new font (font.ttf) that i don´t have in my system, on the inno setup?

Example of font that i don´t have in my system.
http://www.1001freefonts.com/image.php?set=1&font=TalkToTheHand&text=Talk%20To%20The%20Hand

The script to this case is the same in the post # 138.

Thanks in advanced.

Try making your own labels.

Hide
Pagenamelabel and pagedescriptionlabel. this can be done in CurpageChanged.

I'm having a problem with the music during installation.
If the operating system volume is at 30%, when I run the installer, it automatically goes to 100%.
Could you suggest a code that does not affect the volume of operating system?

This is the code I'm using:

#include "botva2.iss"
#include "BASS_Module.iss"

procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
ExtractTemporaryFile('BASS.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('CallbackCtrl.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('botva2.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('MusicButton.png');
ExtractTemporaryFile('Music.mp3');

BASS_Init(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Music.mp3'))
BASS_CreateOnOffButton(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Music Button.png'), 20, 320, 36, 36, 4)
end;

procedure DeinitializeSetup();
begin
BASS_DeInit;

end;


Thanks in advance.

check in bass script. It is best if you use 100 instead of another number.

this usually happens if you are using windows xp

Test it.

reg entries are simple, you grab them from your original installed game version, then using reg to inno conversion program english version ( under useful programs ( joe edited it to english from russian ) ).

http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=92995

Its make as ISS script from your saved reg file, the entire contents from the script go into [REGISTRY] section of your inno script.

DO NOT INSTALL, JUST RUN THE EXE TO SEE HOW THE MUSIC BUTTON LOOKS, THEN CANCEL INSTALL

here's a music button script that adds music to your script ( in russian so translate to english ). In the output dir is a setup.exe, just run it and you'll see the music botton in lower LH corner, you can change the image of the button & sound played by making appropriate changes to the files used. ( use any on CI8.5.7.4 or CIU etc for image / sound files )

good luck :)

Do you use precomp method to reduce the installer size? If so, please show me a example.
See the linlk below (post #6). I beleive that was used the precompr method. I used just lzma2/Ultra64 of inno, but it was not the same size

http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=93155&highlight=inversion

[Razor12911]

Probably Precomp Compression wasn't used in that conversion.

But this Compression was used : LZMA2/Ultra64

But also some content was also removed.

That's the reason why sizes are different.

Only I have to put that, on the installerScript.iss I must put something or not?

[pakrat2k2]

in installerscript.iss Change #define programfiles.... ;#define ProgramFiles....

remove ; from ;#define Internal

this will then use the freearc files you specify from setup.ini.

There's any way to integrate a file that depending of wich language the installer is, set up the correct language. Is a system.cfg the file I need.

ie.

name file system.cfg
content:

; crysis3
sys_game_folder=c3
sys_user_folder=Crysis3
sys_languages=english,french,spanish,german,turkis h,italian,czech,chineset
g_language="lang desired name"

How do I engage isdone.dll to extract arc files, I use CIU 1.0.0.5 by Yener90

I know that the setup.ini has to had the ExtractSettings I tried several times but no luck, the installer keep asking me for the disc whit the arc file.

I use this to compress

arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 [email protected] -dp"%choice1%" .\DVD1\%arc%

[Razor12911]

then the archive name and location must agree with setup.ini Extract settings

[spawniectes]

then the archive name and location must agree with setup.ini Extract settings

I tried, for example my file name is data1.cab on extractsetting must be like this

FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;


I do that way and keeps asking me for data1.cab

[pakrat2k2]

did you include arc.ini in setup.cab & use internal compression in ISS script rather then #define programfile line ..??

look at bottom of first post > http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=92805

it shows what needs to be there for internal compression ( what you're using ) & how to set it up.

[Razor12911]

write {src}\Data1.cab

{src} is for source.

[spawniectes]

Know I got this error

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3057/errortlu.jpg

[pakrat2k2]

in setup.ini you need to add
[InstallOptions]
PrecompVer=inside
.
.
.

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2;

for example, look to Fabioddq's Devil May Cry topic it uses both. ( look at ISS script & setup.ini. Also in setup.cab you need arc.ini in root.

How to skip the Start Menu Folder dialog please?

you mean "select program group page"? If yes then[setup]
DisableProgramGroupPage=yes or in code sectionfunction ShouldSkipPage(PageID: Integer): Boolean;
begin
if (PageID = wpSelectProgramGroup) then result:=true;
end;

[danswano]

Thank you, what about the Ready to Install dialog please? :)

[altef_4]

Thank you, what about the Ready to Install dialog please? :)

disablereadypage=yes

[danswano]

I've tried this one but after clicking Next on the previous dialog it goes directly to installation.
The Next button should turn into Install button before starting installation

Is it possible? :)

yes, it's possible. To change button text use curpagechanged and remame button manually. if (curpageid=wpselectdir) then wizardform.nextbutton.caption:='Install';

[danswano]

The page that i want to change it's button name is the tasks page, what is the id of that page?

Hello again,
i'm using this parameter to compress my files
-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8
But i don't seem to be able to get a compatible precomp compression method to work with ISDone and i get unpacking errors, can you please add a precomp parameter to the above command with best compression and if you can improve my srep parameters for a better compression would be appreciated.

Thank you :)

Need help.
The code pat below is for Inno Ansi Version.
I wanted modify to work on inno unicode version.

function GetDC(HWND: DWord): DWord; external '[email protected] stdcall';
function GetDeviceCaps(DC: DWord; Index: Integer): Integer; external '[email protected] stdcall';
function ReleaseDC(HWND: DWord;DC: DWord): Integer; external '[email protected] stdcall';
function GetDriveType(lpDisk: String): Integer; external '[email protected] stdcall setuponly';
function GetVolumeInformation (lpRootPathName,lpVolumeNameBuffer: PAnsiChar; nVolumeNameSize: longint; lpVolumeSerialNumber,lpMaximumComponentLength: Cardinal; lpFileSystemFlags: Cardinal; lpFileSystemNameBuffer: PAnsiChar; nFileSystemNameSize: dword): longword;
external '[email protected] stdcall setuponly';

function GetScreenHeight(): integer;
var dc: DWord;
begin
dc:=GetDC(MainForm.Handle);
Result:=GetDeviceCaps(dc,10);
ReleaseDC(MainForm.Handle,dc);
end;

function GetScreenWidth(): integer;
var dc: DWord;
begin
dc:=GetDC(MainForm.Handle);
Result:=GetDeviceCaps(dc,8);
ReleaseDC(MainForm.Handle,dc);
end;

Function GetFixedDrivesInfo(): Array of Tdrive;
Var l:string;
s,c,n: integer;
FreeMB, TotalMB: Cardinal;
Vl: array of AnsiString;
Fsn: PAnsiChar;
//
Begin
l:='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUWXYZ';
for c:=1 to length(l) do begin
if GetDriveType(l[c]+':')=DRIVE_FIXED then
begin
n:=GetArrayLength(Result);
s:=GetArrayLength(Vl);
SetArrayLength(Result,n+1);
SetArrayLength(Vl,s+1);
Vl[s]:=StringOfChar(' ',256);
GetVolumeInformation (l[c]+':\',Vl[s],MAX_PATH,0,0,0,PAnsiChar(Fsn),MAX_PATH);
GetSpaceOnDisk(l[c]+':\', True, FreeMB, TotalMB)
Result[n].Letter:=l[c]+':';

Result[n].FreeSpace:=FreeMB;
Result[n].PSize:=TotalMB;
end;
end;
//MsgBox(Result[n].fileSystemname, mbInformation, mb_Ok);
End;

In inno unicode he does not perform this part.

if GetDriveType(l[c]+':')=DRIVE_FIXED then
begin
n:=GetArrayLength(Result);
s:=GetArrayLength(Vl);
SetArrayLength(Result,n+1);
SetArrayLength(Vl,s+1);

Result[n].Letter:=l[c]+':';
Result[n].VolumeName:=Trim(Vl[s]);
Result[n].FreeSpace:=FreeMB;
Result[n].PSize:=TotalMB;
end;

Can help me?

change PansiChar to PChar

IF I remember it correctly, make backup of script, before making changes. test to see if it worked.

Note:This script is part of the script of the game The Witcher 2 by peterf1999.

[pakrat2k2]

because that script needs ANSI not Unicode.

If your just changing images etc, using peterf's original script modified for your game, then it will compile just fine no errors.
