Hello everybody, I come here to thank first the "Kurutucu" for your excellent work, and all of you who helped me and had patience with me, a big hug to all of you!!


Sorry for my bad English.

First of all thank you (All the contributors) for all the efforts put in to make such a easy Look-alike Black box setup.

I have seen a bug. Every time i compile then Main.iss file, the Setup-1.bin file copied in the output folder gets deleted. Any help

@alley_u2

"Any help"

I think that you can't do anything about that.

Only way is to move *.bin files out of that folder.

So, just keep your .bin file somewhere, and Use output folder for setup.exe only.....

not a bug, re-read the steps.

it says to compile the script first, then create the setup-1.bin files

Thank you very much. It works.

But i have some questions:

• I would like to set, that vcredist will be installed based on Windows type.
  If user have 64 bit -> vcredist_x64.exe will be installed if user have 32 bit -> vcredist_x86.exe will be installed.
  
• Where i can edit DiskSpanning? I have game that have 13 GB.
  
• How can i set parameters for compression? (if this is possible)
  I would like to have best compression without edition .bik videos, cut off some languages etc.. [I am using Main (precomp.0.43)]
  
• Where can i find comparation of compressions types when i use this script = external compression? I would like to see how it will take to compress and how much CPU/RAM will be used. I know how to set parameters for internal compression but with this i do not know)

Thank you for help. Sorry for my spelling.

read entire thread, think was mentioned by someone else back around page 6-7

I need to create a bat file to compress file with this algorithm "arc -mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 " i.e. arc-precomp-srep-arc. Can anybody help

@alley_u2

Inside "Black_Box_Script_By_Kurutucu_V1.8.7z" should be Kurutucu compressor folder, and as I remember it contains just what you need.

I will, but it will take some time. :(

I tried using that. It worked very good with a small files like 80mb that i tried but when i tried to compress a 3GB File it gave me an error. So i was thinking downloading new precomp, srep and free arc components and use a bat file to pack it.

"If user have 64 bit -> vcredist_x64.exe will be installed if user have 32 bit -> vcredist_x86.exe will be installed."

Well, as I know on Windows X64 bit version you need both x86 and x64 version of vcredist.

I don't include any prerequisite because I have them all installed.

"Where i can edit DiskSpanning? I have game that have 13 GB.
How can i set parameters for compression? (if this is possible) "

If you are looking for disk spanning option then you are going to need script that supports internal compression.

And as I know BB scripts supports only external now (ANSI: STOPPED).

For internal compression you just read Inno documentation a little, and if you are using external compression, just download few conversions from other and read .bat file a little, all should be clear.

I think, but not sure, precomp 0.43 didn't worked for me, but not sure.

precomp 0.42 was enough + with use of kurutucu compressor.

"Where can i find comparation of compressions types when i use this script = external compression? I would like to see how it will take to compress and how much CPU/RAM will be used. I know how to set parameters for internal compression but with this i do not know)"

As I said, no internal anymore if I read it right.

Anyway, with external you should get better results.

No one can tell you how much CPU/RAM your PC is going to take.

It depends on your PC.


EDIT:

@alley_u2

What error, post screenshot of it.

OK so i will not use internal compression because BB does not support it and external is better.

But what i have to set, to get best compression and how to set which file will be precompressed, because only some file is good for precompression?

If i need both vcredist it should be in script. How can i edit it?

However i saw some test of Winrar and similar programs. And i only want to now, how much % of time it will take if i will use some compression. For example: Best compression will take about +50% more time than second best compression, but it will compress about X% more.

I am sorry for Newbie question. I have been using Inno Script Studio so far with some andvices from stackoverflow.com. So best for me are examples.
I do not want filling this thread with my questions so if somebody is willing to help me via PM. It will better than this.

Thank you.

I have posted the error

Tried using precomp 0.43 and compiling the setup with Main(precomp.0.43).iss. But the installer didn't work. It failed to extract the file and gave me a error saying "wrong precomp version" .

#Your files cannot compress with precomp. Use srep. Because your files don't have jpg, png, model etc. Precomp extracting and recompressing files. Maybe your files cannot be extracting. Try srep.

#For precomp0.43 use Main(precomp.0.43).iss!
