Code:

Thank you for responding! Yes, it does not contain a ; before the line but still didn't work. In the end I found that adding "runascurrentuser" to the flags made it work. Hope this helps anyone who had the same problem I did.

Light Installer Script 1.0.1.0

1 Attachment(s)

Added Light Installer Script 1.0.1.0 in first post. :)

Code:

- Added support for Persian (Farsi) language to Light Installer Script (Thanks to Gehrman for collaboration). 

- Added support for skinsharp skins (SkinH.dll library by Shegorat) to Light Installer Script. 

  >> The library of the skinsharp does not support special characters like cyrillic characters.

  >> So languages like Russian and Japanese and Persian should get broken using skinsharp.

- Fixed some minor bugs.

PS: SkinSharp skins only work if compiling with Inno Setup 6.0 or higher.

Remember Default Installation Directory

Hello, I would like to ask how I could make the setup remember the folder I install my games in, like FitGirl's?

The default is C:\Program Files, but for example I change it to D:\Games. I want the installer to remember so that the next game I install, it will default to that directory instead of going back to C.

It doesn't memorize your last choice, it always installs in a "Games" folder and on the same drive.
Even if you choose "E:\My Games", assuming the system is installed on the "C:" drive in the next install it will suggest "D:\Games" as in the first install (Correct me if I'm wrong).

If you want similar behavior change the line in the [Setup] section of the script.

Code:

from:

DefaultDirName={#DefaultDir}\{#GameName}



to:

DefaultDirName={code:NoSD}\Games\{#GameName}

Then paste this code below into the [ Code] section of the script.

Code:

const

  DRIVE_FIXED = 3;



function GetLogicalDriveStrings(nLenDrives: DWORD; lpDrives: String): DWORD;

  external '[email protected] stdcall delayload';



function GetDriveType(lpDisk: String): DWORD;

  external '[email protected] stdcall delayload';



function NoSD(Param: String): String;

var

  Drive: String;

  Buffer: String;

begin

  SetLength(Buffer, 255);

  SetLength(Buffer, GetLogicalDriveStrings(254, Buffer));

  Result := ExpandConstant('{sd}');

  while Pos(#0, Buffer) > 0 do

  begin

    Drive := Copy(Buffer, 1, Pos(#0, Buffer) - 1);

    if (GetDriveType(Drive) = DRIVE_FIXED) and (CompareText(Drive, ExpandConstant('{sd}\')) <> 0) then

    begin

      Result := RemoveBackslash(Drive);

      Break;

    end;

    Delete(Buffer, 1, Pos(#0, Buffer));

  end;

end;

I hope that's what you need.

I could comment it out manually, but I might not get everything

I don't understand what exactly you need?
You mean a preprocessor parameter that disabling it disables the creation of uninstall files and uninstall registry entries?

It makes no sense that the installer is trying to access the internet.
The AppPublisherURL= AppSupportURL= AppUpdatesURL= keys are descriptive used only in shortcut of the control panel.
READ: AppPublisherURL, AppSupportURL, AppUpdatesURL.

Lignt Installer Script 1.0.1.0 (u2)

---------
my own system never caught installer trying to access network, so I have no idea either

Attached script 1.0.1.0 (U2):

Code:

- Added ISPP directive (#define Uninstallable), if you disable this directive line:

>> It won't create the uninstall files.

>> Will not create uninstall registry keys.

>> It will not create the shortcuts in the start menu.

I assume it's from CurStepChanged (ssPostInstall section)

Other minor issues:

LogoOnClick is missing #ifdef AppURL condition
ShowWindow has a typo in argument

Code:

function ShowWindow(hWnd: v; ...)

---

I guess it's supposed to be 

---

function ShowWindow(hWnd: HWND; ...)

Thanks for reporting the bugs.
If you find other bugs let me know.
I have attached the script with the reported bugs fixed.

How do i add optional files?

After getting the diskspan output of 2 files (data1.bin,data-optional.bin) and adding both to the records.ini like so:

Code:

[Record1]

Type=FreeArc_Original

Source={src}\data1.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=1.924.677.867 bytes



[Record2]

Type=FreeArc_Original

Source={src}\data-optional.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=2

Size=78.614.874 bytes

i merge the records.ini into the setup.dll and include the setup.dll in innosetup, although im not sure how to "tag" the optional file as such, therefore when i try installing without the optional file the setup asks for it.
How do i make the installer skip the optional file if its not there?
Thanks in advance. :)

you can include the additional file as a task and leave it unchecked. but if the task is checked the installer will always ask for the file.

Request to add ISExec

Hi Cesar82
Is it possible to add ISExec like the example below?

Code:

[Record1]

Type=ISExec

Source={tmp}\SHH_Patch_HI-VU.exe

Param=/Dir={app}

Disk=1

Task=1

Using the records section I think it would be difficult as the DiskSpan GUI creates the file using the [record#] sections in consecutive order, used in many other installers.

Perhaps something unique to the Light Installer could be implemented in a different section like [Exec#] by manually adding it to the Records.ini itself.

Isskin INI code

Hi Cesar82, Thank you for the script you made, but i have a problem when adding the skin(cjstyles) with INI code, the skin is not added, So i made some changes:

Code:

#if !defined(StyleFile)

  #define StyleFile "NULL"

#else

  #define StyleParam ""

  #if Pos("|", StyleFile) > 0

    #define StyleParam Trim(Copy(StyleFile, Pos("|",  StyleFile + "|") + 1, Len(StyleFile)))

      #expr StyleParam = StyleParam + ".ini"

    #if (StyleParam != "") && (LowerCase(ExtractFileExt(StyleFile)) == "cjstyles")

      #expr StyleParam = StyleParam + ".ini"

    #endif

    #define StyleFile Trim(Copy(StyleFile, 0, Pos("|",  StyleFile) - 1))

  #endif

  #if (LowerCase(ExtractFileExt(StyleFile)) != "vsf") && (LowerCase(ExtractFileExt(StyleFile)) != "cjstyles") && (LowerCase(ExtractFileExt(StyleFile)) != "she")

    #define StyleFile "NULL"

  #endif

#endif

if you like, add these changes to your Script :)
