hi, please test new demo (installer) for errors (out of range, access violation etc..).

No Errors for me with Alpha.

Have you ever tested your Installer with Multiple DVDs based on external Compression (arc + srep)? I've got a few Problems with it.
I've tested with Dead Island + Riptide ( 2x DVD5 with srep), Dead Island runs from 0% to 100%, Riptide (DVD2) from 100% to 200% but here runs the Slideshow like hell (three Pics in one second).
If I move Records.inf to ISDone folder and compile again the Complete Designer Crashes and the GIDsave is deleted/not to use anymore.

Can you tell me what's wrong (what I do wrong)?

that's why i asked for help with testing an external compression, to fix progress try to set progress percent for every archive (in designer percent of total), as for slideshow, try to set auto change interval to value > 5.

Ok. Will test and tell later the Result. :)

I have found two Error ("! Game_Installer_Designer_1.5").

A: sometimes, not always, are, after loading a project, the stored data inputting away and you have to re-enter everything.
B: If I go to "Editor -> Main" and fill out everything and then go to "Interface", I get this error:

Altef, not a prority but the spanish translation is semi completed,, some buttons still in english.. and for bugs.. i only find the same of Inge.

P.D sorry for my very limited languaje... ains..

Translation of the buttons still in english:

In Autorun:

Browse DVD - Explorar DVD

In installer:

Folder - Carpeta
Shorcuts - Accesos Directos

my modest contribution with spanish.ini lang. Attachment 10067

I can translate it in bengali

take the english.ini from designers language and do it yourself

Get it! On 2xDVD5 (arc+srep) set Percent of Total for both DVD's to 50! Record.inf seems not be required anymore.

sorry for my bad english
I have a doubt about the log files

using registry

1: download attachment .
2 : now with this tool you can easy convert reg to .iss
3: open end edit your converted .iss .
4 : rename it to Registry.iss
5. put it into folder with designers and compile your project

5 point where I have to copy the file
Registry.iss created ?
thanks so much

after successful conversion your .iss file will be in the same folder as your .reg file
Registry.iss must be in the same folder as GID.exe

I get this error all the time
 

When I click on the Installer form to change the Background Image I get this error

It must be something wrong it!
try run as adminstator it!
:rolleyes::cool:

Can you make your Installer compatible to THIS Tool?
Would be helpfull then I (and other) don't need to make listfiles anymore for external Compression...:)

check size field in main options, must be >0.

i will try, but work on GID wery slow.

No need for integrate it to Designer only make the Output and Compression Methods Compatible.
I have tried with Method SREP+MM+4x4:LZMA from Compressing tool and in the end your Installer said "This is No SREP File" and Crashes. Would be cool if you get it compatible.

what do you select in designer (arc or srep)?

I've selected arc, cause I was thinkin' the Compressor based on freearc.

try to use srep.

Ok, I will do an tell Results.

Does not work. If I want to add Setup files to SREP Nothing happen, I cannot add anything. The output from Compressor/Splitter ends in Setup1.bin maby the Installer don't want .bin files or don't like the Compression types. :confused:

can you write what you do step by step?

1: Split up and Compress Files with the Tool from Post #95. Output will be Setup1.bin (a.s.o.)
2: Tried to add the Files in Arc Tab from Designer, ends in two Errors (no SREP File, out of Memory) and Installer Crashes
3: Tried to add the Files direct to SREP Tab from Designer, but if I click the add Button, nothing will add.

PS: If I make Filelists or use Quik Archive Packer from Razor and call output Data1.arc everything works fine. But not with the .bin files from Split/Compressor Tool.

Where is spanish translate D: ?

i need Tutorial of Game Installer Designer

hello and thank you for your software its can be help lot of repacker
if you want a French translate i can do this in my free time because when i see in the soft its translate with google translater a lot of fault

ok, why not ;)

Hello Altef,
Please check GID,
Seems like your installer doesn't support for a game which contain a huge of files. (Just my opinion)
I've created a lot of game using your installer and everthing perfect, but I see a problem when I create Valkyria Chronicles. Compile proses can finish wihout any problem. But when I try to install the game, it always crash at the end of installation proses. After it created shortcut at desktop, then crash. So I have to stop it from task manager.
The game finish install, evething has installed completely. But cannot create uninstaller

Fyi : Valkyria contain more then 5000 files. I've tried to compare with other game which is never have a lot of files like this game. That's why I though maybe because of it.
I've tried to create from beginning with win 7, 8 & 8.1 and the result is same, crash at the end when trying to create uninstaller

probably, installer crashes when he makes a list of files and folders for deinstallation, thanks for info, unfortunately, now i can't fix this problem, but i will fix it when i have more free time.
P.S. you can try to use internal compression, there is no custom filelist creation.

It's alright, take your time :)
I am using internal compression, never use external compression because a bit confuse how to use it :D

Annonce
 

already started to rewrite my lui.dll (graphics library for Game Installer), it's will be standalone (without layered.dll) with custom fonts support (temporary fonts, layered.dll supports only installed fonts), some animation effects for buttons + some cool effects for text(look on attached image ;))
first alpha will be in a few weeks (i have too little free time for it).

also, i will upload GID v1.6 tomorrow, with some fixes and changes (i will cut some abilities of designer for v2.0, and i will change installer interface in v2.0).

GID v1.6
 

i was planning to make v2.0 after 1.5 release, but i have time only for some updates :(.

Is the "Uninstall Bug" fixed? (# 110)
######EDIT########
Hmm, tested with AC II including Registry and still no Finish Page. Uninstall Files won't be created. :confused:

Thanks for v1.6. I think it fix my problem

Try to create project from the beginning with 1.6. Not using project file from 1.5 then complie with 1.6.
Yesterday I created for emergency 5 using 1.5, then same thing happen crash at the end. I tried to open project file that I created before with 1.6 than compile, still same result.
The last, I created project file from the beginning with 1.6. It's done perfect.
Not really sure, but it fix :D

Funny thing, I can't open Projects from v.1.6 (not from v1.5 or 1.6). Either the Designer does give me no feedback or get an Error. Anyway today I make a Conversion of AC Brotherhood and all works fine. Would be cool if anyone can tell me why it works now but not yesterday.

about update, i don't test it well, as i say many times - i haven't enough time for it
P.S. for updating your project file, try to open it and click save

Where Insert File for internal compression

After you have Design your Installer, Save your work!
Then click Export, Then Import the Exported File again. Now your on the Compile Window,click Compile, choose your Output Directory, then your Gamefolder to Compress.
It`s easy :)
