how to modify LightInstallerLogoOrange.bmp (Light Installer) to another name ???
thx

Open the script and change the name as needed.
The parts of the code referring to the logo image file are below (Search the script).

Code:

#define Theme "ORANGE"

Code:

#if Theme != "NULL"

Source: "Resources\LightInstallerLogo{#Theme}.bmp"; DestName: "LightInstallerLogo.bmp"; DestDir: "{tmp}"; Flags: dontcopy

#endif

Code:

  #if Theme != "NULL"

  with TBitmapImage.Create(WizardForm) do

  begin

    Parent := WizardForm;

    SetBounds(ScaleX(14), WizardForm.NextButton.Top + ScaleY(1), ScaleX(225), ScaleY(20));

    Bitmap.AlphaFormat := afDefined;

    Bitmap.LoadFromFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\LightInstallerLogo.bmp'));

    #if VER >= 0x06000000

    Anchors := [akLeft, akBottom];

    #endif

    if '{#AppURL}' <> '' then begin

      OnClick := @LogoOnClick;

      Cursor := crHand;

    end;

  end;

  #endif

Code:

  #if Theme != "NULL"

  ExtractTemporaryFile('LightInstallerLogo.bmp');

  #endif

P.S: If you just want to change the name of the image file that is in the resources folder, you only need to change it after the word resources in code 2. This way the image inside setup.exe will remain as LightInstaller.bmp, but your external file will have the name you put, but it must be a bitmap image (.bmp).

What problems?
Records.ini is necessary because it contains all information from the files compressed by DiskSpan_GUI about the compressed files

When he wants to install a compressed game, the setup.exe installer "install" in a second. Skips archives and creates only "unistall.exe" in the installation folder and a shortcut on the desktop . If I move or delete the records.ini file, the installer works normally and installs the game. I didn't have it before, only on the last two games.
What am I doing wrong?

This can only happen if you merged the Records.ini file at the end of the diskspan_gui compression page and are now placing another Records.ini with incorrect information from the compressed data files.
It is not possible to extract any compressed files without existing records.ii next to setup.exe or inside setup.dll.

you have to disable this #define Theme "ORANGE" to this ;#define Theme "ORANGE" then the logo will be disabled

I don't understand what you want to do.
The Light Installer logo is an option for you to place any logo image you want, just by editing one of the PSD (Photoshop project) files or creating your own logo as you wish (But the dimensions 225x20 pixels must be kept).
Just create your bitmap image (.bmp) with alpha layer to determine the semi-transparent areas and save it as "LightInstallerLogo.bmp" in the "Resources" folder.
Then open the script and set theme to "" and compile the script.

Code:

#define Theme ""

Recently I found very annoying that you cannot set default "split tab" – how many times I forgot to change it from default DVD5 to unlimited and had to repack from scratch... For those who prefer one big archive instead of splitting would be nice to have an option to set the default "split tab" to Unlimited for instance :)

And is there any chance to change naming convention from "setup.bin.001, .002 ..." to "setup-1.bin, setup-2.bin" etc.? .001 extensions does just look weird to me and it doesn't follow standard naming.

1) I just didn't leave it as an option, set the UNLIMITED tab as default because the EDIT of OUTPUT directory will not be visible (Manual division components will be displayed).
I'll think of something, but I don't think that will change that for now.

2) Yes, this is not yet possible, but in a future version the names may be used as names as Setup1a-01.bin as standard.
However, the future version will no longer support 32-bit systems (It will only be 64-bit with only 64-bit compressors).
But for now only .001 names.

Edit:
DiskSpan_GUI updated in the first post.
- Functionality has been included to allow leaving the disk UNLIMITED selection tab as default.

Hi, thanks for your hard work and great program. I wanted to ask if virustotal reacts very negatively to the setup.exe installers it creates. Interestingly, this problem can be solved?

Check and let me know which file is captured as false positive by the virustotal (Setup.exe or Setup.dll).

If it is Setup.dll, try using different methods (only the decompressors used in Setup.dll will be included), to find out which method is including the false positive.

I did a test here with setup.exe.
Compile Setup.exe with Inno Setup 5.59 which will have less false positives in the analysis of the totalvirus.

Help

Hi, I wanted to ask a few noob questions.

If I created a data.bin.001 using the DiskSpan_GUI which is included inside the light Installer, then what things do I need to add/change in the included Installer script so that it extracts the data.bin.001 successfuly.
Also one more question, do I need to include compressors in [Files] section of the script? AND WILL THE SETUP WORK IF I INCLUDED THE WHOLE "Resources" folder inside the Compressor folder?? Or do I need to copy each compressor seperately??
Where do I put records.ini after compression? And do I need to include it in script??

Thank you

After you extract the "Light Installer" source code, extract and delete the "COMPRESSOR" folder.
Download DiskSpan_GUI 1.0.0.4, extract and place the "COMPRESSOR" folder in "Light Installer" folder where you deleted the previous one.

1. Go to the "COMPRESSOR" folder and run "_DiskSpan_GUI_CONFIG.bat" and change the settings you need and click "Save" and close DiskSpan_GUI.

2. Go back to the main "Light Installer" folder and open the script with Inno Setup to create and compile the script after making the necessary changes to the script. Your Setup.exe will be created in the "COMPRESSOR\Setup_Files" folder.

3. Now you can compress the game. After compressing the game, the compressed files will be in the selected output directory (Default is COMPRESSOR\Conversion_Output).
Subfolders will be created according to the configuration on DiskSpan_GUI (By default it creates DVD_1, DVD_2, etc) during the compression of the game.
Your setup.exe compiled previously will be automatically copied to the DVD_1 folder and the disk space will be calculated according to the settings in DiskSpan_GUI.
All necessary files will be in the DVD_# folder. So do not remove any files from the DVD_# folder.
For example, if you compress an 8 GB game (DiskSpan mode) and the compression is 6 GB, then in the "COMPRESSOR \ Conversion_Output" folder you will have these files:

Code:

COMPRESSOR\Conversion_Output\DVD_1

Autorun.inf          //Disk autoplay information.

Data1a.bin.001       //Compressed file (first split part).

Records.ini          //Information file about compressed filesfiles that setup.exe reads.

Setup.dll            //File of type ".arc" (compressed -m3) containing all external compressors and also CLS and FreeArc configuration files necessary to perform the extraction of the file.

Setup.exe            //Setup created by Light Installer script. 

Setup.ico            //Icon of Light Installer to display on the DVD/Blu-Ray drive. 



COMPRESSOR\Conversion_Output\DVD_2

Autorun.inf          //Disk autoplay information.

Data1a.bin.002       //Compressed file (second split part).

Setup.ico            //Icon of Light Installer to display on the DVD/Blu-Ray drive.

P.S: You can merge Records.ini in the Setup.dll file on the finish page of DiskSpan_GUI after compression (optional).

I did some tests using the -t parameter on the commandline, and for me to include this functionality it would be necessary to include several files (More than 15 Mb) in the resources folder just for testing.
It would also be necessary to include a checkbox to enable the test.

I may include this in version 2.0 of DiskSpan_GUI, but I don't promise anything (I don't know if it will work for all methods).

Currently it has a button that makes the extraction process simulating the installer. This test is more reliable because if for some reason any decompressor is missing it will fail.
The FreeArc test will test the file, but if any decompressor or config is missing from Setup.dll, even though the FreeArc test is OK, it may happen that the installer fails during installation (If anything is missing from Setup.dll).

About the MD5 check, what was your suggestion?
Generate a hash for the Data.bin.001 files?
If so, I don't think it would work because the files would be in separate folders or on some kind of disk. It would only work if they had all files in one folder.

Well, yeah you need to use quickbms but this has no relation to the script. quickbms is a standalone tool.

Hello, is there any way to add plugins aside from decompiling and recompiling DiskSpan_GUI?

I like compressing Unity games, and I saw there is a XTool 2019 plugin for Unity Engine which seems nice.
Unity uses LZ4 for compression, and I noticed there's an LZ4 switch already implemented, but it would be nice to be able to add custom plugins anyways.

I also have a question about LOLZ, I noticed that it supports media compression in the documentation, such as raw audio and stuff. Is something such as MSC needed before LOLZ or will LOLZ take care of that entirely?

Thanks in advance

I did not understand your question.
DiskSpan_GUI is 95% configurable by editing the DS_Methods.ini file in the Resources folder.

DiskSpan_GUI 1.0.0.4/1.0.0.5 has support for different plugins for XTool. It is in the custom method selection tab in the group referring to XTool 2020.
Could you share the link to this plugin for me to get more information?

Hi, thanks for the response, the link to the plugin is here:
https://fileforums.com/showpost.php?...64&postcount=6

After reading it again it just claims to give support for LZ4, so since the LZ4 switch is already implemented I guess it's not needed.

Using DiskSpan_GUI, for LZ4 it may be necessary to test with different versions of the LZ4 library by replacing the library in the "Resources\PRE\XTool_2020\Libraries\LZ4" folder.

I'm sorry for asking potentially dumb question...

I have a big collection of games, some of them taking a lot of space, so I'm trying to see if I can repack a few of them. I'm doing this for my self, not for the purpose of releasing or posting on any sites/forums.

I usually would just use FreeArc, WinUha, 7z etc. But some of the games I have would not get compressed at all or the compression would not be very efficient. So I've become curious about how people actually "repack" stuff and discovered this site. However, cannot find a clear and simple solution on the subject of how to unpack what's been packed with DiskSpan or UltraArc :(

I've used DiskSpan GUI to repack a game. I used xlib+srep+lzm, which seems to be producing much better compressions results than any other method I've tried.

Now I have these files: Data1a-01.bin -> Data1a-05.bin and a Setup.dll

How do I make the installer script unpack those files? Simply placing the .bin files besides the setup.exe doesn't do anything at all.

I'm at loss here :(

I'm so sorry. I wanted to edit this post and delete another, pushed the wrong button... One too many forums opened simultaneously + very tired.

1000 thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

I didn't know that records.ini is missing and is necessary :) Was using DiskSpan GUI on Windows 7, it would compress just fine, then give me an error which I ignored (dumb me), unaware that the records.ini is not being created...

Switched to Windows 10 and it worked flawlessly.

Thank you again

Why?
Is there any problem?
is Xtool still running?

All executables in the temp folder are checked if they are running and processes are closed when an error occurs or is still running after successfully installing (if this worked correctly).
