That "decompressor" folder is just to create a "setup.dll" file, but if you're using DSG, you already have that, got it?

And after that, you need to edit the "settings. ini" file to apply your settings, then just run the "Compile_Script.bat" file to compile the script and move the (Setup.exe, Setup.ico) to the folder containing your archive and "records.ini" and "Setup.dll". :)

I read in the previous posts that we need to extract setup.dll in decompressor folder

also if i rename my archives[i am using unlimited in diskspan] how do i configure the same for my installer

NO need to do this.

when you create an archive with DSG, it's giving you a file that name is "records.ini" In this file, you can configure your archive name and other settings, for example, you have "Data.bin" file and you rename it to the "Data.bf", if you do that you need change that name in "records.ini" file too.

Thanks, i was able to test my installer and it is working perfectly

I have one more question

Can i run a crc check for bin file before installation and crc check for output files after installation

Can you also suggest me other diskspan compatible installers which have support from the creator till date

the crc check is available for the output files, and you need to check and turn it on in the first DSG page ( Also the ( [CRCCheck] ) section in "settings.ini"). crc check for the bin file is not available, and you need to add it yourself. If you don't know how to do this, ask in the (INNO TROUBLESHOOT - Questions Here) section (or here), they will answer you. :)

What is patch.bat in the setup folder of ASIS

This is for the [Batch] section, if you want to do tasks after installing, like patching files, repacking files and such.

It means i can do a post install hash check also.


Also how do i configure records.ini for optional files

Post install hash check is already built-in. Either you can use the hash file created by DSG, or using your own and use quicksfv.

For optional files, read "Help\Components and Tasks.txt".

Edit: Here is a example what a Patch.bat could look like. In this example I used "DELZORec_x64" as it will give the best output size on the game "Far Cry 5" last time I checked. First you have to unpack the game files with said tool, after installation you have to repack the files back to original. Note that the batch file will always run from {app} directory as working directory (I have to fix the help file).

is there any pre-install functionality or i have to use an external batch file

What pre-install functionality do you mean exactly?

CRC check

The numbering of components inside installer is same as the components numbering in records.ini

Hello, I only need to check the Create uninstaller option during the installation process (but it is checked by default), and the entire folder will be uninstalled immediately after the installation is complete, including the original packaged release and non-packaged files. And the pop-up window did not complete the installation.

It prompts me that the setup.dll file is missing and asks me to put the file next to it, but after I do so, the progress bar of each installation does not scroll, and opening the task manager shows that the installer is not responding.

The error message is as follows: The required Setup.dll file was not found. Add the Setup.dll file next to this executable and try again.It prompts me that the setup.dll file is missing and asks me to put the file next to it, but after I do so, the progress bar of each installation does not scroll, and opening the task manager shows that the installer is not responding.

Send me Setup.dll + a test archive for unpacking

I'm sorry to trouble you. I have been studying your scripts for a month, but my English is very bad. All the way I read the news and tried to understand the content. Unfortunately, until today, my installation package still doesn't work properly. the whole process. I also send the script together, where is the error, please give me some advice! Thanks!

By the way, a suggestion, if you have time, please record a demo tutorial of your scripted complete installation process and other more specific operation details on YouTube! This will make it easier to understand the script to help more novices. Because I saw that other people in the forum also posted related teaching and demonstrations of repacks.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y_0...M7TmTppPN/view

Please upload somewhere else, because I have no access to the file.

And I won't make a tutorial for scripting things lol.

It's working here. Maybe you forgot to use Records.ini, as the file was not present in your package.

I supplemented the information in Settings.ini according to your request, but when I tried to install it, it still showed that the program did not respond, and no error was reported. The data.bin archive file is also in the root directory.

You have to use a external Records.ini file. Do not put the information in Settings.ini.

my problem installer doesn't create program shortcut or unistal folder:

Send me settings.ini

setting.ini:

Works fine here. Did you modified the script in any way?

I didn't modify anything, I think it's something in my system because users install it without a problem

I am currently using ASIS and want to change the background JPG slideshow to a single GIF image. I have found GifLib.dll but do not know how to adjust the script code and wondered if someone with know-how can do this for me or show me what needs changing. I have no real scripting experience and have tried GPT to help but not able to get it to work.

I have put the GifLib.dll in ASIS.v7.4.4\Resources\Modules\InstallBG folder.

can anyone help me?

It has now a github page.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for the excellent script, it has helped me a lot!

My question is how do I check if a task is checked?
If the task is checked and installed it will run a .bat

This would help me make collections using individual patch runs for each task.

I'm a beginner at this, I can understand some things, I'd be happy to give me a tip on how to do this

NOTE: Sorry for the English, I'm using a translator to help with communication

Not supported this way.

However you could save all actions for different games in a single bat file and use command.

Open CMD.exe and type
to get additional help there.

I did a "Frankenstein" in the script, and I managed to make it work, in a pretty horrible way hahaha
Then I will try to improve the code...

Is it at all possible to use this in combination with DiskSpan in order to make an installer that is split across multiple disks that you can insert one at a time similar to old DOS games?

Yes

Would you be able to give me a rough idea of what I would need to do? I understand how to make an installer with the created bin, ini, and dll files when they are in the same directory as the exe, but am not so sure as to where I should start to get ASIS reading off of disc drives.

Set disk size in diskspan -> compress files -> create setup.exe -> copy setup.exe to the same folder where bin files are and install

I understand that much, but I want to have all of the setup and bin files on separate DVDs inserted one at a time. Say for example I have portal 2 split up into 2 bin files. I want 1 bin file, Setup.dll, Records.ini, and Setup.exe on one DVD. The install process will start as usual, but when the first bin is done extracting, get prompted to remove the DVD and insert Disc 2. Hopefully that example gives a better idea of what I'm asking is possible :)

Then just move second bin file to another folder. Setup will ask for that file if first bin file is finished.

That did it, thank you so much!

execute command during decompress
 

Hello
Can you help me fo this :

I would like to start a command line during decompress
unpack data-1a-01.bin
execute commande like wemtool
continue to unpack data-1b-01.bin

with diskspan , it makes a file record.ini like this

ASIS can do this kind of things ?

Best regards
