I meant the EXIT window.

Selecting "NO" exits the installer.

This looks nice, but when i try and run it.. the splash screen shows up and i hear the music and the icon on the taskbar shows up but it doesnt take you to the installer itself.. any ideas how to fix this??

Here is Update 2 for v7.3.4 wip

Sorry I forgot to include the settings.iss file.

Reapply the last update. This should fix it.

Seems like I have forgot to change it... :D

Thanks for this ;)

However, new version will be shared in a few days. Made many tests and it's working good so far.

my question may be zero but I would like to add a 2nd SPLASH.
how to do?

The update feature sure seems handy! Is there any chance you could clue me into the label names for the compact mode start screen buttons? I'm a sucker for efficiency and do miss the old cramped nature of the previous compact mode designs. Been reading through but cant seem to quite figure out which ones to modify (it doesn't help my brains a tad smooth haha)

What do you mean exactly?

In script you just have to search for "CompactMode" (without ! char. ! char means "not" in ispp). Then you have all parts which belongs to compact mode.

I was talking about the composition on the install/home page, as seen here

Also is there a certain option needed to get the "Setup.dll" to extract during install? I unpacked a generated 7.3.4 executable and can confirm "Setup.dll" is included in the executable.

However the installer doesnt seem to extract the contents of "Setup.dll", as attempting to start the installation skips the target archives and fails immediately.

If you'd be willing to offer any tips I've included my example Setup.dll, Settings/Records .ini & the Script.iss (for 7.3.4).

Thanks again for your continued support and interest in this script, it's really quite a versatile tool!

Well I have changed the appereance a bit from previous changes because on some languages some text was cut off.

Setup.dll inclusion and password settings have to be done in script.iss (at the beginning) by removing ; in front of the lines. Make sure you set the same password there as you did for the setup.dll file.

Setup.dll will be extracted as first step as soon as you click the install button. You can check that in tmp folder.

Ah fair enough, given those reasons can't see any reason for me to further pursue reverting the adjustments.

I was also dead wrong, and you completely right in regards to my issues with using Setup.dll, it turns out the reason nothing was happening was because I forgot to include the "records.ini" in the "Setup.dll" file, I had thought it was also included when placed in the root directory for ASIS, as was the norm with v7.2.0. Seems like I'm getting somewhere now but for some reason attempting to copy over the de-compressors and CLS-related tools from v7.2.0 (ie. CLS-[AFR/BPK/LOLZ/MPZMT/MSC/OGGRE/PZLIB/SREP/UELR), & the CLS-DISKSPAN.dll doesn't seem to work, since I get a fairly basic message after attempting to install the files, reading: "Incompatible version of the "CLS-DiskSpan.dll" library".

Is there a required version of DiskSpan-dll required with the newer versions of ASIS? Apologies for the seemingly never ending stream of queries, seems like I cant catch a break with troubleshooting!

Yes. Grab the diskspan cls from diskspan gui tool ;)
However the diskspan cls is only required if you use it actually. You can also just create freearc archives without diskspan cls. They working fine too. If you don't want to use the spanning method.

Eureka! That's done it! I had tried 3 different versions of the DiskSpan dll, and hadn't thought to try the latest version, finally got a working setup for v7.3.3 now it seems.

I honestly just use the cls versions for some compressors just because I started off with them and it was convenient, thanks again for all the help, can't wait to see what the future holds for ASIS!

Hello, I have a problem with the following game:Dying Light 2 Stay Human
compression and installtion is going very well.

but the icon does not launch the game but just opens the directory

I do not understand why the icon is good (there is the image) but it does not work

When I right click on the icon I get the following properties
"C:\Games\Dying Light 2"

Test without IconFileName key

There is no reason to select the very same file for the icon.

Your config has information about the Mass Effect game in the FileCheck= key, remove this key or include the correct information for this game.

Maybe you need a different path to workdir.
Try changing in workdir shortcut properties to {app} folder path and see if it works.
I don't remember if ASIS has configuration for this in Settings.ini.

Hey,

I have a question: in the "Script.iss" file, there is the "[Files]" section, I would like to copy files / folders, depending on what was selected during setup as a component, which I can define in the "Settings.ini" under "[ComponentsSettings]".

But somehow I'm at a loss and don't know what to specify in the "[Files]" section, in the "Script.iss", so that either only the files from the Update 1 or Update 2 folder are copied.

Script.iss:
Settings.ini:

KR blizz

You have to add such tasks with the use of records.ini

Add files to a freearc archive and add this archive to Settings.ini and records.ini

You can do it with either [TasksSettings] or [ComponentsSettings] in Settings.ini. You have to decide which fits better.
Example with [TasksSettings]

I felt the need to further explain the component and task settings, so here is update 7.3.5

Thank you KaktoR for your help, everything worked!

I have added a small fix for the help files to previous post.

Edit: added a new fix. Sorry

I allow myself to give you the translation in French.

A small correction or a space is missing

hello again, so I'm coming back to you because I've done many tests and corrected the ini and nothing has worked the shortcut only opens the game directory but does not launch the game. I even changed the name of the game. exe and rename it and it didn't work.
I will therefore abandon this game because I really do not understand why it does not work

Send me the executable via private message

Edit: I tested with the game executable, used the same oiginal folder paths for my test, and it works fine here.
Icon is changed to what it is set in settings.ini.
It does not open the game directory with the desktop icon but run the executable.

So I really don't know what is happening for you. Is this only with this game or other games too?

hello, it's the only and first game that does this to me, I have the game icon, but it opens the game directory only.I still sent you the exe in case you want to test.
thank you

Heyo, I just started moving to v.7.3.4, and I had a question relating to the Tasks page. Is there anyway to not include this section when in non-compact mode? I feel like it's unnecessary when the following page with the install dir/start menu shows the size anyway, and I rather have it skip to that page. It's not often I have anything selective/optional.

https://i.ibb.co/hH1syzN/image.png

Just don't use Taskpage then ;)

I was under the assumption that it was needed by default for this version, thanks for the heads up. :eek:

Help and Problem in Components and ISExec
 

How can the Exec function work only by selecting Component 2?

Component2.Name=Patch
Component2.ItemType=CHECK
Component2.Size=1 MB
Component2.Level=0
Component2.Checked=1
Component2.Enabled=1

I tried the below function but it didn't work.:(
please help.

Try this

Thanks Lord Freddy
But it doesn't work.

I think this is work for you now:)

Hey, how would we go about doing the following in ASIS?

- Extract first Archive in records.ini

- Run a batch file

- Resume extracting the next archives

Thanks!

If it helps, I'm using v7.1.4

@Masquerade
This needs some changes in "procedure Unpack_Process".

Honestly I don't know if this even exists on v7.1.4, since many changes come along since then.

I've been trying to do a minor redesign to the compact mode layout, by moving all the contents of the "AboutForm" to the main-page of the installer. I've managed to accomplish all I set out to do save for getting the "LogoImage" to display, even after changing the parent to "WizardForm", Is there something I'm missing? I'm using the latest version of the script if it helps.

Sorry to fire off all these questions but got one more quickie, would anyone happen to know what variables determine the default Font used for CompactMode, and which ones disable the use of custom fonts for CompactMode? I un-commented the parts disabling the use of custom fonts, as present in v7.3.4-Update-2 and onwards and played around with the script a bit. "Font.ttf" is definitely being added to the installer but theres something in the script preventing a custom font being used on CompactMode, since its definitely working for most elements, save the AboutForm & InfoForm, in non-CompactMode.

Custom Font is used only by NormalMode (non-CompactMode) on Start page and Finish page.

Custom fonts were never added to compact mode, simply because of its size and design. In former tests most fonts (especially but not only included by default in windows) were unreadable, means cut off texts and such. I think the standard font used by Inno Setup is "Arial" font.

However if you want to change the fonts of all elements in compact mode, you have to add "Font.Name :=" to all the elements manually which are used by compact mode, like this
Example for Icons checkbox
