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:

You can download the setup file from here

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)

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 :)

or how to use different InitializeWizard();

Please Help..!!

and

How to move progress bar and extracting file item label?

fatalerror

you define initializewizard # first, depending on how many things you want to do. just increase the number for each seperate item.

#define InitializeWizard();
#define InitializeWizard(1);
#define InitializeWizard(2);


procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
..
..
..
end;
procedure InitializeWizard(1);
begin
..
..
..
end;
procedure InitializeWizard(2);
begin
..
..
..
end;

etc...

as for second part of question read yener's tutorial topic, its been asked & answered already.

Thank You!!But its only yener90's script?Don't working my script.

#define ISSI_UseMyInitializeWizard
--> bold part is missing from procedure line...

procedure ISSI_UseMyInitializeWizard();
begin
.
.
.
.
end;

Don't work but I'm trying update issi file.Will be working now...

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.

How to add a password to setup.cab please

there is a tool...called setup.cab cryptor

Evil Boy
whats the advantage?!
i see no point.

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?

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:

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)

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.

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
and i tried this too
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

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.

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