UltraARC by Razor12911, modified by Simorq
zTool by Razor12911

Presenting you a advanced simple inno script.

This script was made only for my private game backups. No CIU-like fancy things, no music.

Things left:
-Background for SelectDirPage and InstallingPage (for me more dificult as it sounds :D)
-Try to figure out how to properly draw shadows for TLabels
-Adding percent to ProgressBar

Fully compatible with UltraARC 2800 R2 Edition ((c) Razor12911 / Simorq) and zTool ((c) Razor12911)

Cool... I will try later... busy for job.

Lawa... Saya akan cuba nanti. Sibuk ni kerja

[Kobi Blade]

Sometimes simple is the best way, I like it.

[Crynuvo]

Sweet & Simple. Thanks.

[felice2011]

Simple things are the best, but few are content with simplicity.:)

[KaktoR]

I like it this way instead of a bitmap background. Small and easy. Maybe with a fullscreen background slideshow instead.

For DirPage... It seems that i must create a whole new CustomPage instead, because "SelectDirPage" can't be moved/deactivated somehow, or i have done something wrong. Will look on sunday.

[S-Ghost]

thanks man i like it

[mikey26]

nice simple clean.very nice Kaktor like this alot,maybe only add redist page before this before install.is there a way to have a tick on "Dont create Start Menu folders from the start on the installer?i would say only add Fscreen background slideshow but nothing else to keep that clean look. :-)

[Simorq]

Hi KaktoR
Can you add music to the script please

[KaktoR]

Maybe later.

First i must create CustomPage for SelectDirPage, which gives me headaches at the moment :D

[S-Ghost]

please add music and remaining time lable...
please

[S-Ghost]

UltraARC 2801 R3 compatible ?

[KaktoR]

FOr time and percent labels there seems to be a little problem with ultraarc procedure. Seems i must rewrite a bit (and keep in mind i am just an "advanced beginner" in pascal, so it could take it's time when it's done without any errors).

Should be compatible with UltraARC R3, but only common pre/compressors like pzlib, ztool and such. LZ5, MPZ for example not.

[KaktoR]

v2 added

[S-Ghost]

thanks man, really thank you, (please sorry for my bad english)
i modified it for music but your one is best,
thanks again !

[S-Ghost]

can't sound off (v2)

[S-Ghost]

please check this ,

i added music , (it was very hard for me)

sorry for my bad english:):)

[KaktoR]

Thank you for reporting. Will fix it.

Edit: Fixed. You can also define Music enable/disable if you don't need any music in setup.

[S-Ghost]

thanks kaktor , keep it up ..

[S-Ghost]

kaktor asisv2 musicfix cant browse install location

[S-Ghost]

how i learn more about pascal and inno script ?
Browse Button not working with v2

[KaktoR]

SOrry, use this fix

[S-Ghost]

thanks bro.. it cant broswe when enable info

[S-Ghost]

Setup resize as smaller when installing game..
Can you give iss file without that feature ? ��

[KaktoR]

Hotfix 3 added. Sorry for this. Had a bug with finished page (it has shown welcome page instead of finish page - fixed)

Plus fixed arc.ini for pzlib

@Ghost: Search for
if CurPageID = wpInstalling then begin
WizardForm.ClientWidth := (497);
WizardForm.ClientHeight := (115);

Just disable/remove ClientWidth/ClientHeight.

But you have to adjust buttons and labels again for new size.

[KaktoR]

Hmm

[S-Ghost]

Your installer asis v1 compatible with pzlib + Srep + lzma
But asis v2 have some bugs.
When installing repack it show me archive data currupted error

(Sorry for my bad english )

[KaktoR]

Use only UltraARC R2 (because UltraARC R3 has different Arc.ini).

But maybe it's enough to replace Arc.ini with R3.

[S-Ghost]

I removed skin and trying to cancel setup , music lagging

(Sorry for my bad english bro.. )

[S-Ghost]

no. I uesd ultra arc r2 , not r3

[KaktoR]

v3 Added

-Percent added
-Now supports UltraARC R3
-Merging is now in {app} folder

[Simorq]

-Merging is now in {app} folder

Does not work:(

[KaktoR]

Don't change Output in records.ini to {app} (except for "Freearc_Split"), otherwise split.exe error. Leave it like ultraarc create it.

Example:
[Record1]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\Data1.Bin
Output={app}
Disk=1
[Record2]
Type=Split
Source={src}\Data2a.Bin
Output={tmp}\Data2.Bin

[Record12]

Output={app}
Disk=10

[KaktoR]

Percent has a bug with splitted archives (if mergin starts, it goes to 66,6%, when start unpacking, % get stuck at 66,6%). I am not able to fix it the proper way. Maybe some kind soul can help us out a bit.

Furthermore progressbar "flickering" if thousands of files got unpacked.

Besides that, this project is somewhat finished (maybe left background pictures during installation).

[S-Ghost]

thats broblem

[S-Ghost]

what is the code for remain time lable

[Simorq]

https://preview.ibb.co/jrKOBk/qwefsdfasdfcx.jpg

thats broblem


Use ZTool x86

[External compressor:pzlib,plz4,plzo,pzstd]
header = 0
packcmd = ZTool e:{compressor}:t25p{:option} - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = ZTool d:{compressor}{:option}:t75p:cm0mb - - <stdin> <stdout>

[KaktoR]

Added v3.5

added info button

% mostly fixed (in some cases % will be fast go to 99,9%, then extracting the rest of the archive (mostly common problem with many files in one archive)).

Anyway, progressbar "flickering" still persists in some cases, and i don't know why.

Hello,
How to add the function: copy the content of the crack "like the codex script please!
nice work,
Thank you

[S-Ghost]

Please add the remain time labale.
Thanks

[KaktoR]

Let's see...

I have no plans for this at the moment.

I have added CRC check recently, but have to fix some bugs first.

[KaktoR]

Test

Added:
CRC Check at the end of installation
Copying "Medicine", if folder is present in {src} ({src}\C**CK (maybe will add this as CB instead)).

Fixed:
Background2 is now showing again

Things to do:
Fix UA MASK errors (must wait for Simorq)

[Titeuf]

Hi KaktoR,
Excellent job,
Thank

[KaktoR]

Have added v4.5 as UA2 and UA3 version to OP.

Some informations about UA3 MASK method:
Do NOT use pzlib3 in config0.txt, because it has problems with some games. Use pzlib from ztool instead.

I like your code, is properly formatted and easy to read, even better than Razor code on WPI :p

[KaktoR]

Because it has much less features, and that's the way this script was meant to be.

Simple and clean.

[KaktoR]

Have added v5.0 as UA2 and UA3 version to OP.

-UltraARC R3 is fixed now, plus made changes to script for this.
*Now you can use MASK with pzlib :) BIG THANKS TO SIMORQ!

- Added checkbox for "copy medicine"

-Removed some leftovers
*It is recommended to use the v5.0 as own folder, means do not overwrite existing files from v4.5, because some files got removed in new version.

Hi Kaktor

Can you add a easy way to disable "copy crack" function and button.
As the games are steam games and no crack is needed from my repacks.
Nice simple Installer nice one mate...

[KaktoR]

Change
CopyCrackCB.Show;
to
CopyCrackCB.Hide;

And delete
#ifexist "Crack"
Source: {src}\Crack\*; DestDir: {app}; Check: CopyCrack; Flags: ignoreversion createallsubdirs recursesubdirs external;
#endif

Hello Kaktor,
Can you tell me what I have to put as a code and what place to change the name of the player and the language in the crack please?
Thanks in advance,
Titeuf

[pakrat2k2]

Hello Kaktor,
Can you tell me what I have to put as a code and what place to change the name of the player and the language in the crack please?
Thanks in advance,
Titeuf

There is no code you have to add for username in code, Its all in the ini file for the crack itself.

### Name of the current player
###
UserName=*****

Change the ***** to the name of player you want it to have, save the file
and it should use that username.

Hello pakrat2k2,
ok, I spoke badly, sorry about my bad English.
I want a code to do like the repack of elamigos, etc.
that is to say during the installation, a window opens so that the user adds his name of player and selects his language!
do you know how I can do it please?
thanks in advance

[pakrat2k2]

Not that way itself, but again the Crack ini file has a language setting as well that can be changed. Maybe others will know how to edit it the way elamigos does.

I don't know why you want it that way, each crack ini may be setup differently, & it wont work exactly how you want, best way is to edit the file before doing conversion.
Then you know its correct.

[KaktoR]

Google for UserInfoPage and [INI] section.

@pakrat: He speak of a way like in repacks, where users can simply put in name + language in one go with the installation, without to open INI file manually (whoever needs it...)
Same way like CIU did, but without edit fields (CIU probably using PC name and selected languages in autorun).

[KaktoR]

I have tested many games with this, ask simorq when i spamed him in PM's :D

Maybe it has to do with files without any file extension, like in this example for file "0I".

Try with CIU setup.exe (use any of the newer conversions) and report back.

I have tested.

It's only this one file on which pzlib has problems (inflation ratio is over 1700%).

So it's not script related, but pzlib3 is the problem.

Exclude this file from compression and compress it after compression manually with freearc or ultraarc.

Or simply use MASK method

Go to Resources\config0.txt
MaskI=SRARC/$void=0/$deflate=PZB3SRARC

Open Arc.groups with notepad

[ShadowEagle]

Does this script support components? For example if i make a trilogy, so the user can select which game to install?

[KaktoR]

Probably yes, but you have to add them yourself with [Components].

[KaktoR]

Update v6.0 BETA
- Added Components
- Added a switch for settings
- Slightly changed appereance for welcome/finish page
- And some more

Includes a sample project for components.

[l4km47]

wow :O

[KaktoR]

Update v6.5 BETA
- Added languages (en,fr,de,it,es,pl,ru,ptbr, probably most used)
- Added a switch for music volume (1-10, standard is 5)
- Fixed a compiler error if you disabled music
- Some changes more, can't remember

PS: Components are not working atm.

[ramazan19833]

Hi KaktoR
how to add second shortcut ???

[KaktoR]

No support

[KaktoR]

Update v6.8 BETA
- Fixed error regarding cm:messages
- removed comps
- added support for UltraARC R3 Hotfix (the official one here (http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=463381&postcount=912))

https://i.imgur.com/5MtCViJ.png

Next: Will try to implement system page using issysinfo.dll by peterf1999

[Graphics]

I have compressed my game into a data.bin, where can i modify the code to make it install it?

[KaktoR]

You don't need a code, you need a records.ini file in the same directory where setup.exe is

Normally, if you using UltraARC, this file should be created automatically.

Here is a example for a single archive file

[Record1]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\Data1.bin
Output={app}
Disk=1

[Simorq]

Hi KaktoR
Will you publish a version of ASIS compatible with DiskSpan?

[KaktoR]

Maybe later.

Have included EULA files and background slideshow during installation by now, needs some testing tough.

I think it's possible with both, DiskSpan and UltraARC in one script. Will test it in next days.

Edit:
https://i.imgur.com/EfwK5r0.jpg

Like this or with black background?

[KaktoR]

Update v6.9 BETA
- Added support for EULA's
- Added a slideshow during installation
-->> for now only 3 pictures. Will look for a more variable way.
- Changed some other things

[KaktoR]

Update v6.9.1
- Added support for DiskSpan by Razor12911 (thanks to Simorq for testing)
- Changed Slideshow a bit (now you can add as many background pictures as you like).
- Changed some settings
- Minor tweaks

[KaktoR]

I need some help.

Need some translations in French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Russian and Portuguese (Brazil) if possible.

Thank you
Because you answered the question quickly

[pnKed]

How do we use this script to make a compressed game?

[KaktoR]

Use the _Tools folder for compressing game files.

Use script to create setup.exe for unpacking archives.

Btw, last round of testing was good, except new script tomorrow

[pnKed]

How do we edit the music out? Modifying the script will stop it but will the music option still appear when on the setup.exe?

[KaktoR]

If you don't want music, just change

#define Music

to

;#define Music

Just add a ; before

[pnKed]

Cheers, I've compressed a game using Compressor 2.1 but have no idea how to implement the script into it so it will unpack itself.

[KaktoR]

Create Setup.exe, move it to compressed game files (there should be a records.ini file)

[pnKed]

Can't find a records.ini file. Sadly, could you send me an example of a script made to make a setup.exe for a UltraARC compressed .arc file?

[KaktoR]

There is one from where you have compressed a game.

[pnKed]

I see now, moving the exe there doesn't fix things, I prob need to add some paths? Thanks for the help btw!

[pakrat2k2]

I see now, moving the exe there doesn't fix things, I prob need to add some paths? Thanks for the help btw!

no, just move the setup.exe, records.ini, archives ( from ultraarc )

all in a folder.

what I do is set an output folder ( within script itself ) copy the files/folder
from ultraarc into the output folder, then when everythings together the output from ultraarc will always be in output folder. no searching for the files.

Why all setups I try to use compressed files in the ultra arc R3 of this error? What am I doing wrong ?

[pakrat2k2]

message states unable to write data to disk !!

-enugh room on HD ?
-are you running setup as admin ?
-turn off AV before running installer ?
- Run setup.exe from a short folder path and install to a short folder path

also did you copy over the records.ini as well as archives created with UA
to where the setup.exe is for ASIS.

Ive used this a few times & works 100% if done correctly.

There is no such thing as ultra best compressor settings each game is different so best test your games and see what works best.different types of files compress differently and some files dont compress good no matter what you do.

[KaktoR]

is anyone can create installer like "elamigos" installer??

It's a generic script just with freearc support and splash image.

where do I see the compression method?

How you compressed the files/the game? You should know that.

is anyone can create installer like "elamigos" installer??


you can do it :)

[WOliveira]

that?

[pakrat2k2]

under

method= ( leave blank )
then when you go into options tab (ultraarc ) all your choices are available to choose.
Rather then try to set in the ini file.

A friend passed me like this, when I get blank and I choose the options in the ultra arc always the error, someone gives me a good configuration that compresses a lot?

A friend passed me like this, when I get blank and I choose the options in the ultra arc always the error, someone gives me a good configuration that compresses a lot?

every game is different, so method you use for one game, may not work as well for another game. Thats why i said to leave it blank, then choose what you want to try for the game. Using precomp for games usually take a long time to compress & even more time to decompress & install.

Thats why I usually use just srep,lzma. Seems to be ok for most games & doesnt take an eternity to install.

[KaktoR]

[fatalerror1]

any clue how to solve this??
https://i.imgur.com/85k0QtC.png

Just trying to make from this a small basic setup that i can use for anything with just changing name, HDDreqs, exe and redists without any graphical shanenigans but that supports Arc packed files+records ini

[KaktoR]

You did made a mistake with {cm:FinishLabel} i guess.

Which language you using for setup?

[fatalerror1]

i did nothing with it, aka leaved what was there ... so probably just english ... but maybe i commented out something i shouldnt

[KaktoR]

If you don't get it fixed, send me your files then.

[fatalerror1]

here (just the files i changed) ... didnt found whats the problem , seems like i has problems reading #Name from the ini or something

[prudislav]

^
try Unicode Innosetup ;-)

Some observations (Kaktor will pobably gives you proper answers)
1) the basic design looks fugly https://imgur.com/a/X9Lif
... you might wanna create some fine looking "blank" one or tr to mess with the code a bit more
2) While installing it gets some "proc errors" https://i.imgur.com/yc2l1Oi.png but it installs when you click ok and on finish page gets same "proc error"
3) some weird stuff happening when you click install https://imgur.com/a/11HFb

uninstall works flawlessly

[KaktoR]

Proc errors because:

1) the script was not made to disable images in Settings.ini (Background, Background2, Banner and Icon).

What you could do: Just crate 1x1 px black bitmap images.

Also in script don't disable images (WizardImageFile=, WizardSmallImageFile=).

If you want a non-image minimalistic installer, you could try out this: http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=99549

2) if you want to use UltraARC, just enable it by removing ; . Do not replace it with enabled DiskSpan define. In this case, DiskSpan is enabled too alongside with UltraARC, which gives you proc errors too (because there is no #define DiskSpan, so all #ifdef DiskSpan will be compiled too).

3) Weird stuff is a bug in script, will fix it soon.

[fatalerror1]

thx for info , will try to mess with it later on (might probably wait for fix for point 3) and will let you know

as for the minimalistic one thats a bit way too minimalistic ..

What i need is simple design where i can exchange project ćompileation really fast and do bunch of installers after each other with just small changes to the script aka just the Name, installDir, HDDsize,exe,icon + redists but also optionally if i want some basic graphics (like the small and big wizardimages) and optionally some kind of readme before install

Just an example for what i want it for :
... i have certain project but for each customer (there are like 50 slightly modified version) there are slight changes and small customizations which requires just small changes to the installer script , but design needs to be completely neutral installer look.

But also have couple highly customized versions which are planned to have readme in installer and images.

to be honest enough would be even just the standard innoDesign but with arc support
but i still think this script is basically what i need , i just need to figure out the basic changes to it for my needs ;-)

[prudislav]

2) if you want to use UltraARC, just enable it by removing ; . Do not replace it with enabled DiskSpan define. In this case, DiskSpan is enabled too alongside with UltraARC, which gives you proc errors too (because there is no #define DiskSpan, so all #ifdef DiskSpan will be compiled too).
not sure if i follow , tried this with fe1's test script
How should this section look when i want to use UltraARC packed files???

#define UltraARC
;#define DiskSpan
gives same proc error even with all pictures enabled
and if i use
#define UltraARC
#define DiskSpan
i get this error https://i.imgur.com/E4jd6KW.png

[pakrat2k2]

^^ cant have BOTH #define Ultraarc & #Define DiskSpan left open like that, choose one & put ; infront of other.

[prudislav]

yeah i know , i guess just i got confused by Kaktor's wording .... will check properly tomorrow if i can solve the proc errors (still get them even if i fix stuff KaktoR said are wrong with fe1's script)

[KaktoR]

to be honest enough would be even just the standard innoDesign but with arc support

[Sonansyach_10]

how to disable background image during installing the game and how to disable cj style setup ??

thanks...

just leave both of them out ( dont supply them in the folders where they are originally )

[KaktoR]

awesome will try this one

as for ASIS i still have the proc error problem same as prusilav in #163 (used all the pictures, in setting only ultraarc , but still nothing)

Have you compiled with Inno Unicode EE?

[WOliveira]

without wanting to be boring, but how do I put the components in this setup?

[pakrat2k2]

if by components you means redists ( directx, vcredists, physx etc ) all those are in settings.ini. If thats not what you mean be more specific.

[WOliveira]

Yes, directx, vcredists, physx etc

[KaktoR]

They are already there...

[WOliveira]

How do I activate them, because I installed a game with the setup and neither started nor in the end appeared the options to choose these components, how do?

[pakrat2k2]

did you have them in the folder structure as specified in settings.ini. also remove the ; from front of line for the redists you want, & add ; to the ones you dont want.

Kaktor, I see what he says, even with them selected in settings.ini, compile the script, the setup goes from detected hardware > install game
doesnt give any choices for installing redists.

[KaktoR]

I need settings.ini, because its working fine here.

[pakrat2k2]

I know exactly what issue is, was using OLD v7 ( from december). Using the one from January it works as it should. ( i forgot to get rid of old one, & had compiled it too. )

[KaktoR]

Ok, then i need Settings.ini from WOliveira.

[pakrat2k2]

nope all he needs to do is grab the archive from the first post, it works as supposed too.
he's using an old version of the script, thats why the redists dont show up.

[WOliveira]

I'm using ASIS 6.9.5, and I'll leave my settings for download so you can take a look.

Edit1: I'm going to download the v7 I saw now at the initial and test ... when I downloaded the first time I did not have this v7 yet.

[pakrat2k2]

that settings.ini, has no section for redists. ASIS wasnt updated till after that version to be able to add them. Might as well just delete the old version, & use the new one in first post. it works perfectly with redists, just add the name of the ones you want
in the section for them ( wasnt even there in 695 version )

[WOliveira]

I was looking at this version 7.0. How do I put the EULA in the beginning to accept the terms?

[pakrat2k2]

everything is in Settings.ini ( this section)
//Name for License files. File names in folder must be GAMENAMEeulaEnglish, GAMENAMEeulaFrench, GAMENAMEeulaGerman, etc., where GAMENAME is = LicenseName "xyz".
//If not needed, just disable License (set ;)
;#define License
#define LicenseName "TheWitcher3" ;...EULAEnglish.rtf

[pakrat2k2]

has to be with how you have it in the ini file, something isnt right. post the lines here so can be looked at.
very first line with ;

//Name for License files. File names in folder must be GAMENAMEeulaEnglish, GAMENAMEeulaFrench, GAMENAMEeulaGerman, etc., where GAMENAME is = LicenseName "xyz".
//If not needed, just disable License (set ;)
;#define License

REMOVE the ;

[WOliveira]

I was able to put the EULAS and leave the way I wanted, the problem and that is now giving this error. I am using the compressed files I used in ASIS 6.9.5.

[pakrat2k2]

Did you use UltraArc for creating the archives ?
you missed a setting... if so, then in settings.ini


//Define if you want to use UltraARC, DiskSpan or Internal compression. Only enable one of them!
;#define UltraARC Remove the ;
;#define DiskSpan
;#define Internal "G:\Assassins Creed Origins"
#define DiskSize "DVD5" ;CD / DVD5 / DVD9 / BD25 / BD50


then you'll need the archives & records.ini ( the way ultraarc arranged the archives, the archives themselves & if they were in subfolders )
you need them placed with the setup.exe created by ASIS 7.

[KaktoR]

To be honest i didn't test license files for v7

[WOliveira]

I got friend, I removed the ";" from the ultra arc and left the other two, now all right ... Thank you very much for your help. Yours are 10 !!!

[pakrat2k2]

To be honest i didn't test license files for v7

Wonder if the eula names can be changed to more simplier name like CIUV2
rather then the long names it presently has. ??

[KaktoR]

Good point. Is "(Language).rtf" enough?

[pakrat2k2]

yes just like eula_german.rtf, eula_french.rtf etc...

[KaktoR]

Update v7.0.1 added

- Changed handling of EULA files.
> EULA files should now be named as Language.rtf (English.rtf, French.rtf, ...).
Furthermore, if there is only English.rtf, it will be used for all other languages
if the language has no own eula file.
- Renamed pOodle ZTool.exe to pOodle.exe
- Added CLS-SREP by ProFrager

[pakrat2k2]

One other thing that needs changing... The image extension, rather then bmp can it be changed to png ? Would be nicer for fancier Welcome -> Finish images which cant be used with bmp extension.

thanks

[KaktoR]

Requires botva2 library. I could testing it but i've never worked with it. Also requires a shitload of code changing.

But to be honest, libraries are already in, because i want to test it at a later time.

[pakrat2k2]

Requires botva2 library. I could testing it but i've never worked with it. Also requires a shitload of code changing.

ok, dont worry about it then, just too used to using png. too much coding isnt necessary then, will use as-is.

[KaktoR]

My next step was to implement time left/remain.

After that, i would like to change almost the complete Settings.ini to get rid of bunches of #define's (f.e. using getiniint instead), but that also needs half of rewriting the code. Because it's not that practicable.

Then i could work on png images (maybe with bmp masks too).

The most thing i love about this is the fact the you only need a couple images for start/finish windows + banner, no having to worry about masks or any of that. Yes they're easy enough to do, but this installer is so easy to use as it is, love the way the backgrounds change, that me personally wouldnt change that part at all.

[WOliveira]

To disturb a little bit, I went to do another setup and gave this error, which for me was the first time. How do I solve it?

And the box marking the redists is not showing up, it's installing straight through at the end.

//Background = WelcomePage, Background2 = FinishedPage
#define Background "Background.bmp"
#define Background2 "Background.bmp"
#define Banner "smallbitmap.bmp"
#define Icon "Setup.ico"

//Define Splash image and duration of FadeIn/Show/FadeOut in ms. If not needed, just disable Splash (set ;)
#define Splash
#define SplashFile "logo.png"
#define SplashFadeIn "500"
#define SplashShow "1000"
#define SplashFadeOut "500"

unless he's renamed the corresponding files in folder as well ?

[KaktoR]

Name as you like, doesn't matter.

And if file doesn't exist, compiler gives out a "file not found" error.

[pakrat2k2]

oh ok good to know

[WOliveira]

Yes, I changed the name of the files in the folder .. The point that gives the error is at the time it will start the installation. And the other error and that is not appearing the menu to choose which components (directx and etc ...) choose.

[KaktoR]

I don't have this error.

Do me a favour: In Inno Setup window, press F9 for compile+run setup.exe, click next till installation starts. When the error shows up, look at the bottom of Inno Setup window in tab "Debug Output" and tell me what script line the error is.

[WOliveira]

This is the error that occurred ino at the time of the setup error.

[KaktoR]

This was fixed with v7.0.1. Please download it from first page and overwrite all files.

[WOliveira]

Ok, I'll take the test.

[pakrat2k2]

Getting error about LicenseImage.bmp even tho file is there & Settings.ini -> ;#define License ??

[KaktoR]

Got the same error today, already fixed it :D

Search for:
/////////////////////////////////////////// LicensePage

replace with this:

#ifdef License
LicenseImage := TBitmapImage.Create(WizardForm);
with LicenseImage do begin
Name := 'LicenseImage';
Parent := WizardForm.LicensePage;
Left := ScaleX(0);
Top := ScaleY(0);
Width := ScaleX(32);
Height := ScaleY(32);
ExtractTemporaryFile('LicenseImage.bmp');
Bitmap.LoadFromFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\LicenseI mage.bmp'));
ReplaceColor := $0000ff;
ReplaceWithColor := WizardForm.LicensePage.Color;
end;
#endif

yep fixed perfectly, thanks

[WOliveira]

This version 7.0.1 is all perfect, the eulas and the redists ... all the way I want the problem now is at the time of installation :/

[pakrat2k2]

says unable to write data to disk ... not enough HD room?

[WOliveira]

y HD has lots of space.

[KaktoR]

What compression method you did use?

[WOliveira]

The same one I used in version 6.9.5 ... PreComp, SREP and LZMA.

[KaktoR]

Exact precomp settings? Which version?

Maybe a problem with cls-precomp

[WOliveira]

I used UltraArc 2.8.0.1 R3, funny that in ASIS 6.9.5 it works :/

EDIT1: I just tested the two versions (6.9.5 and 7.0.0 with update 7.0.1) with the same files compressed by UltraArc 2.8.0.1 R3 on 10/24/2017.
I run in version 6.9.5 plus gave the error in the image I posted up in version 7.0.0 with the update. Since version 7.0.0 with the update is the way I want, with the options (directx, vsredits and etc ...) of redists. I tried to open the two scripts and try to leave 6.9.5 with these options or try to accept the compressed files, but I'm still very new and even with everything already learned here I was very lost. So I hope that now I have made everything clear so you can help me: D

[KaktoR]

I mean, what precomp version did you used?

[pakrat2k2]

UA only has precomp v46, & using asis 7.0.1,choosing precomp,srep,lzma, it gives the exact same error, as he mentions.
( in the tools section of asis) BUT if you look at 2801r3-hotfix( seperate release ) that precomp is 038...
probably why the error in asis 7.0.1??

retesting, by adding the resource folder from 2801 R3, which adds a bunch of files, not in your tools/UA files.

[KaktoR]

Hmm, could it be that UA in Tools folder is different from the "original"? :D

I don't remember :D

Edit:
Just checked, precomp in UA is 0.46, in both 2801 R3 H

C:\Users\Fee\Desktop\UltraARC 2801 R3 Hotfix\Resources>PComp

Precomp v0.4.6 Windows 32-bit - ALPHA version - USE FOR TESTING ONLY
Free for non-commercial use - Copyright 2006-2017 by Christian Schneider

Usage: precomp [-switches] input_file

And there is only one file missing, namely wrar.exe (for WinRAR archive creation in UA, which no one is using anyway).

Btw:
Did you changed also precomp to 0.46 in Compressor.ini? Since there is a cls for unpacking, but i don't know if this cls will work for any precomp version.

PS:
To use Precomp046 in UA, you have to use MMC compression. Precomp in GUI is only for ZTool/pZLib3

[pakrat2k2]

Yes, #Define Precomp "0.46MT" ;0.38, 0.40, 0.41, 0.42, 0.43, 0.46MT

otherwise it just failed immediately, without those in config0.txt

[KaktoR]

Like i said, UltraARC just have Pcomp046 inside, nothing more (somehow it uses cls + exe for compression without any arc settings).

Try to use like this
MMC=PRMT+srep+lzma2

and check MMC in GUI.

As for MSC: You could find it in 0 + 1 + 2 txt. Just make sure you don't use DDS compression (it's buggy as hell in 0.0.6.4)

Edit:
You could also try with ArcGUI instead http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=98152
I think it's a nice UltraARC replacement (it's with masked compression too!! :D)

[pakrat2k2]

thats great one too, but just changing compressor.ini & config0.txt will allow ASIS to compress/decompress archives perfectly.

WOliveira
Replace these 2 files from INI.rar archive, compressor.ini goes in root of ASIS & config0.txt goes in Resource folder of UltraArc. you will need to recreate your steup.exe, as well as recompress your game, as the 2 files were not set properly to handle precomp. Use settings for UA same as in picture, then ASIS will be able to handle your archives, but NOT before, you have to re-do the archives.

ASIS then installs from the archives created without issue.

[WOliveira]

Okay, I'll try!

EDIT1: I tested it now, and apparently it was working out more by getting a certain% error. That mistake the "program has to be closed". What do I do?

I compressed the files now equal to the image of pakrat2k2 (SREP, LZMA and MMC)

[pakrat2k2]

never had any issues, not running anything else in the background, when compressing files or running the new setup?

[WOliveira]

I ran with everything closed and still gave error: /

EDIT1: I tested with the following methods, SREP, LZMA and MMC worked up to a certain percentage and then gave "program stopped working" error. I tested with
PreComp version 0.38 and 0.42 + SREP AND LZMA and both gave the isdone error that I posted the image before and last test only with SREP AND LEZMA and gave the following error (which for me was the first time, I think) that is in the image below. I forgot to mention that with SREP and LZMA it was up to a certain percentage and then it gave that mistake there.

[KaktoR]

Only use MMC alone!

Go to UltraARC\resources\config0.txt

Search for MMC=

insert

MMC=PRMT+srep+lzma2

[pakrat2k2]

^^ shows how much i use precomp.... NEVER, dont care about max compression, dvd's are cheap so usually use srep,lzma or if small no compression....

[78372]

^^ shows how much i use precomp.... NEVER, dont care about max compression, dvd's are cheap so usually use srep,lzma or if small no compression....

That's the point of pZlib v3, a far better alternative of precomp with better speed even better speed than lzma compression.

[pakrat2k2]

thanks for the tips

your getting errors where you shouldnt, IE: just srep,lzma should be no issues, no errors as all.. ive used 10X more and never issue with install.

As for precomp, you said you tried with 38 & 42, did you rename them from precomp to pcomp ? the file in resources folder is name pcomp / pcompx64.exe, & if you didnt rename then it might have just used the same 46 version???
I went & got the 2801r3 version from UltraArc topic & use that version in all my compressions, also made the changes to text files i added, also KaktoR's change above. Tested every version of precomp with asis 7.01 & they all installed/uninstalled without issues..
Can you start over from beginning, getting the 7.01 from first post, use the UA version from the UltraArc topic, change those 2 files, remake archives... something is not right... Yes ive gotten setup is not responding a few times over the years,
but just restarting the setup again it finishes without issues.. Dont want you to have just updated from earlier version of asis, overwriting existing files just incase something didnt go right...

Interested in why you keep getting errors on basic compression like srep,lzma when it shouldnt have issues like you have.

[WOliveira]

I made the move to change the confidence and compressed using only the MMC and everything went ok .. Sorry for disturbing you kkk ', I am very slow. Now it's the way I've always wanted ... Thank you again for the assistance and patience kk 'You guys are awesome.

[pakrat2k2]

glad to see it works how you want finally

[KaktoR]

Update v7.0.2 added

Also added a simple compiler.exe created with inno to compile the script if you don't have inno setup installed (and don't want to).

[WOliveira]

People, one more doubt kkk '. I compressed GTA V by the method they gave me and gave 16 DVDs, would it be possible to decrease the size for less DVDs?

[KaktoR]

Yes, use either pzlib3 or ztool pzlib

[WOliveira]

But I'll be able to split into DVDs? if so and only I put it in that MMC of config0?

[KaktoR]

Yes, either MMC, MASK or just check Precomp042+srep+lzma in UltraARC window.

[pakrat2k2]

just an FYI, we can just remove duplicate...
//Define .sfv/.md5 section is in twice in settings.ini.

[WOliveira]

like this?

[KaktoR]

MMC=pZLib3+srep+LZMAII

[WOliveira]

I'll test now, thanks!

[KaktoR]

v7.0.3 added. Make sure to overwrite ALL files.

- Changed Settings.ini and most of its defines
> Now you have to enable/disable features with "Yes" or "No" instead of placing a ; infront
- Fixed a bug that showing ReadyPage even if you have disabled Redists

[pakrat2k2]

thanks, need to remove crntex.exe & rar.key from resource folder ( UA ) shouldnt be included -> rar.key is for cracked winrar, crntex.exe causes virus issues with alot of AV.

[KaktoR]

Thanks, will reupload asap.

Edit:
Reuploaded with removed files.

[pakrat2k2]

another thing needed to be added is a parameter section, just below EXE.
As some exe's need one to run properly, or can it just be entered
#define Exe "game.exe -nohud"

[WOliveira]

Good afternoon, I tried the compression method that you passed me and I managed to leave with 10 parts .. Only at the time of installation gave this error :/
