Hello razor, how do i call 7z to unpack a file using ISExcec or even call arc to unpack an arc file using it as well.
I need to know how to use ISExcec cause it's not working for me.
for example:

Quote:

if not ISExec ( 0, 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.exe'), ExpandConstant('x "{src}\data.arc" "{app}\"'), ExpandConstant('{tmp}'), '...',false) then break;

This one is not unpacking anything.

Try this.

if not ISExec ( 0, 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\7z.exe'), '-o"' + ExpandConstant('{app}') + '" x -y "' + ExpandConstant('{src}\data.7z') + '" ', ExpandConstant('{tmp}'), '...',false) then break;

Having a rather irritating problem with external compression at the moment:

Every time I try to install using external compression I get an "Unsupported compression method" error.

Full Details:

Using this .Bat for compression:

"echo Compressing files, please wait...
arc a -ep1 -w.\ .\Compressed\Data1.cab -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Red Alert 3 Uprising"
echo.All done.
pause
Exit"

This is my Setup.ini Extract settings:
"FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1 ;PrecSrep:1"

The Exact Error I get:
"An Error ocurred Wile Unpacking: Unknown compression Method!
Unarc.dll returned an error code: -2
ERROR: Unsupported compression method
srep+lzma:177mb:normal:bt4:128:mc1000:lc8"

I have tried recompiling, and recompressing at least 3 times and every time it's the same error.

I am using CI 8.5.7.4

Any ideas on how I can get it to work?
I'm Desperate.

remove precsrep:1 from freearcfile1 line & add PrecompVer=inside to top section in setup.ini

You are awesome Razor, i've been googling since days to find a solution and only you did it.
Thank you :)

Dude the file is mine but i want to tell IS the password.

Code:

if not ISExec ( 0, 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\7z.exe'), '-o"' + ExpandConstant('{app}') + '" x -y -pPASSWORD "' + ExpandConstant('{src}\data.7z') + '" ', ExpandConstant('{tmp}'), '...',false) then break;

Razor the awesome, as always. :)
Thanks buddy.

You're Welcome bud. :D

Dear razor, can you explain for me what are the first 3 zeros for?
in ISArcExtract there is 2 zeros while in ISExec there is 3
or i f you don't know what they are for at least can you tell me which one stands for process percentage?

the second zero from the left defines progress percentage.
first is for components
third is for SpecifiedProcessTime

EDIT: Got it, thank you :)

Because the time and accurate percentage is not known properly to IS it jumps from 50% to 150% after the ISExec is done, how to avoid this?
I know that there is a feature related to records.inf but i don't know how to use or even create the right records.inf file.
Can you help me please? :)
