R.G.RAYSIN there is -ap option to set main folder in archive.
If your archive structure is Timeshift\preload\packs you can use
to finally get installation structure c:\installpath\preload\packs. But unfortunately I don't know where to add this in script.

yener90 so there is my another proposition for improving CI: adding possibility to using different options for unpacking each cab in FreeArcFile# line :)

unfortunately cant add it.
why dont you directly compress the files inside the folder :/ not the folder itself...
you told took long.
if it takes really so long i would do az night. cant do here anthing...

I want to compress a file is frozen in 10gb and 27.03%, probe on another PC and same thing happens, any suggestions

leo95 probably there is faked header at 27%. Use verbose mode (-v switch) to find its position (it'll stuck once again at 27% but you'll recive several-digit number). Now start precompressing once again and ignore this position (-i######## switch where ####### is the number given in previous step).

I get the following error when installing:

You can combine Datax.cab Setup-xxx.bin and on the same project

sorry bro wrong description:
if your final archivename is Data2.cab then it must be current order:
data2.arc, data2.pcf,data2.srep.data2.cab

same
 

Ok,Guys!anyone of you know any cmd command to extract the Preload.bin to the given path from arc.exe

Which version is better precomp038 or 042 to compress, I always see that use the 038, is because it is more stable?
thanks

42 is the newest & allows for better compression.

Precomp042 and 038 use

precomp042-intense-oData Data3.arc

error pops up a window that has stopped working and needs to close to 36% I have to use the switch-v Bamse said http://fileforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=401732 user to display the number to then recompress again and in that pocicion and overlooked.

What I want to compress are 10Gb in approx 4GB
thanks

I want to change font color in photoshop fbdb00 yellow, change the first two values ​​that would SetupFontColor = 00dbfb and I still appears in black font color.
What's wrong? thanks

yener90
fix langscript.iss line 1167
ThaExit=ปลาย
to
ThaExit=ออก

artdekdok it'll be better if you upload here corrected langfile

it not in langfile.
but in line 1167 of [CustomMessages] from langscript.iss on CI 7.2.5.
CI 8.0.1 not include langscript.iss, i can't fix it.

sorry for my bad english.

use proper values, here's a chart with over 500+ colors.
just remember to change first 2 / last 2 when inserting into setup.ini

YELLOW( chart ) = #FFFF00 so it would be 00FFFF

Not accept the yellow 00FFFF. Leave the white font. Thank you very much anyway.

leo95 I've tried $00dbfb and it displayed yellow installer text. When I've tried 00dbfb (without "$") it displayed black text indeed. Are you sure you typed "$" before 00dbfb?

It really was not $ before, thank you very much now if I work in yellow text.

updated tutorial for CI 8.2.3

many thanks for updating, should hopefully cut down on questions asked IF they read this

Yes very well done for all the time and effort you put in for everyone Yener, same goes for you too Pakrat.
You both do an exceptional job in my opinion. ;)

hey dude is there anyway to just use SREP and not precomp, for some games precomp just crashes

you can use either.. but be aware files like media & audio( bik & wav/ogg) dont precomp well if at all, so if a particular game your trying to precomp the issue may be those types of files as to why your having issues getting it to work.

if i don't use one or the other the setup gives me and error saying no files for srep or precomp i want it to be data1.arc > data1.srep > data1.bin with no precomp at all but it won't work

A question to add to installer to decompress the. Cab or. Arc from the same site, the user need the program installed on your computer arc.

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.arc;DestDir:{app};Disk:1
FreeArcFile2={src}\Data2.arc;DestDir:{app};Disk:1

Vendecido33

You do not need...

Ademarpato Thanks for the info.

Then the same installer and unzip all without needing to have the program installed on your computer FreeArc.

Hey been testing the installation of the game and gives me an error of corrupt files.
And do not know why I get this if everything is well compressed. ISDone.dll

http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/o...Sinttulo-1.jpg

Someone can explain me how to compress large files well without me any errors.

Not much use FreeArc, SREP precomp or if you usais these commandos and not used for a compression of this type. Please be if someone can help me.

What is the best compression method for a. Cab that makes a program. Cab

how did you create the archive. did you use precomp &/or srep or just freearc.
also what do you have listed in the setup.ini

Hey used to compress files and create program files FreeArc data1.arc data2.arc etc. .. pak files but severe compression gives me some that are damaged but not why.

And so was wondering how there using you to compress large files.

what compression level were you trying

I do not understand is why it gives me error decompressing the archivosm large, according to eh I realized pak files with extension. I usually set the maximum compression that calls up to 1GB of RAM.

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1
FreeArcFile2={src}\data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1
FreeArcFile3={src}\data3.cab;DestDir:{app}\gamecry sis2;Disk:2
FreeArcFile4={src}\data4.cab;DestDir:{app}\gamecry sis2;Disk:2
FreeArcFile5={src}\data5.cab;DestDir:{app}\gamecry sis2;Disk:3

Well I have new problems in this way I work all right until it reaches the disc 3 and I skip to the end an error that says it is not the correct disk and flaltan the files that are in the disk1 the loading setup.a.bin disc 1 is arranged everything and do not know why but I asked those files. Is there any way to do that directly ask me disk 1.

IF your using internal compression.. IE using #define ProgramFiles "F:\Program Files (x86)\Crysis2" then you DONT use [ExtractSettings]. You end up with setup-a.bin etc ( internal compression)

to use external compression you must add ; in front of the line #define ProgramFiles "F:\Program Files (x86)\Crysis2". Then it will extract the files specified in [ExtractSettings]

I am using this
#define ProgramFiles "I:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis 2"

PD: Okay I think I now understand you're saying that if I use the [ExtractSettings]. I can not use the standard method.

#define ProgramFiles "F:\Program Files (x86)\Crysis2"

And you'll have to put forward ; to override this order.

yes thats right put a ; in front of line ;Define "f:\Program Files (x86)\Crysis"

then use your archives under [Extract Settings]..

should work good if your have paths set correctly.

Pakrat2k2 Thanks for your help I will watch when you can.

what is the best way to recompress the files.

well for now till CI is updated you can either use freearc & select you files/folders and chose you compression level ( normal, maximum, ultra) OR still using freearc + precomp + srep ( archive files/folders with no compression ) then precomp the archive ( will make it bigger ) then srep the precomp result, finally freearc the srep result. Lots of steps just to save space. Easiest for those who dont really understand is to use INTERNAL COMPRESSION ( IE #define ProgramFiles.... ) as you end up with install1,install2,install3 etc files that you move into each seperate dvd.

I'm using this method, because the files with extension pak then I get corrupt error when trying to install the game on another pc. And I discovered that compressing with this other external compression method I dava that kind of error.

But not like using the method you tell me the precomp and SREP. So I ask for help on this subject, that I expliqueis how to do the type of command to do so.
