I tried to compress Inversion. It was 4.40GB aprox, made arc from it, then pcf then srep

okay let me have a go at it.will report back.and by the way ur inversion CI the main exe in in the bin folder so u need to edit "MyExecutablePath=bin"

hi revo.i remeber what cause that to crash its certain files in the structure that cause precomp to stop responding.Bamse did fill me in on this.if u look in the precomp bat file there -v aka verbose mode and pause when this crashes instead of the app closing down it will pause and at that point in cmd windows u will see where it crashed.
it should read some like this " found position at #########(whole bunch of numbers)

make a note of those numbers and add it to the precomp.bat
eg: precomp042 -intense -v -c- -i#######(the numbers u made a note off) %1
pause


if it crashes again u have to add those numbers also into the bat f file just like i mentioned above bit painfull but thats the way around it.

Hi

I have a little problem with my setup.

Everytime when the install sequence is finished (or Data3.pcf is unpacked, im not sure), i got this error

For Data3.cab i made the following steps

I have also used the newest versions of precomp/srep but the same problem.

Any solutions ?

in the setup.ini you need to specify which version of precomp you used.

[InstallOptions]
ApplicationName=Gmename
Publisher=publisher name
MyExecutableName=game.exe
MyExecutablePath=
SaveGameFolder=
GameSize=9646
Lang=de,en,es,fr,it,pl,pr,ru
LangUI=0
PrecompVer=038

Hi pratak!

Well, PrecompVer=038 dont work, but PrecompVer=0.38 with the dot works fine now.

Realy strange.

Thanks anyway :)

ooops just a mistype ( forgot the period )

Maybe adding video.avi to Background folder will solve your problem

or even try to read thru the topic !!!

Hi Yener90, thanks for the great job!
I've a little (big for me :) ) problem and I ask your help! (sorry for my bad english, I'll try to explain it simpler as possible)
I'm trying to make my own custom installer, reading and studying your CI 8.4.1 ... I've start with a simple setup, with only custom images, , registry entry after setup, and redist install(DirectX, Visual C++ etc.) . I enable the diskspam to have two dvd5.
Everything goes well until, in the end of installation (when it has to create shortcuts and start the redist installation) it crashes with "external exception c00006".
It only happens if I use the two different isos of the game... If I install it from the hard disk no error appears, and the setup ends successfully.
How can I prevent this type of error? (and...what is this exception c00006???)
Thamk you in advance!

Error name ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

C0000006 External Exception Errors

C0000006 on Local Area Network:

When receiving this error in a Local Area Network (LAN), it is generally an indication the station is no longer connected to the network and it has lost its connection to the server. It is recommended to troubleshoot the connection by checking cabling, any hub or switch and the Network Interface Card (NIC) on any station with this error. If this is happing on the entire network, the common devices such as the Server's NIC, network cable connecting the server to the switch or the switch could be the cause.

This error could also be caused by any anti-virus/firewall solutions that is not properly configured. Anti-virus solutions that inspect and delay the packet delivery or interrupt packet delivery over the network can be the culprit and cause disconnection from the databases.

We have also seen this error when other software such as RLI is accessed at the same time as Compulink on the same station.

NOTE: It's excerpt.

Disable your anti-virus and firewall start setup again.

No antivirus and no LAN connection related problems ... It surely depends if I install the program from the HD or from the DVD... The solution must be something related with the diskspam function :p

I don't know :D

Hi guys, i'm looking for a bit of help here.
I'm making a repack of crysis 2 with (obviously) yener90's custom installer, and i'm stuck at the "SaveGameFolder" section in the Setup.ini.
Crysis 2's saves are located in the Saved Games folders:
C:\Users\Username\Saved Games\Crysis2
I'm having trouble with the "Username" part because i know i must use the costant {username}, but when i uninstall the game the uninstaller won't recognize it. Is there a way to implement this costant in the InstallerScript.iss (or any other way to make the costant work) ?

EDIT: Solved. I put "Username" instead of "username". Damn lower case.

Is there a way to execute a .bat file after the installation? I tried putting it in the [launcherSettings] section of Setup.ini file but it didn't work.

What kind of bat file?
Im sure something is wrong with the bat file.

Problem solved :p I put a
[Run]
Filename: "{app}\Setup.bat"; section in the script and it worked :p
Thanks anyway yener :)

Hi guys, thanks for the work done but I encountered a problem when I use compression ARC+PRECOMP+SREP, most of the files are extracted, but about 65%, it gives me an error:
ISSrepExtract not initialized properly ...
I state that it used the sintex Peterf of compression, you could suggest a solution?

P. S. The game I'm trying to compress is Dead Island GOTY.

make sure you use the arc.ini from it as well, and rather then the same question in multiple places, post once & wait for an answer.

Maybe you put an incorrect version of precomp in the setup.ini file, it must be
0.42, not 0,42 or 042

How I must edit setup.ini when i wants the setup just copy my video files like in peter conversion?

Is there a "simple" version of Inno Setup in the Internet such as "Advanced Installer"? Of all of these scripts is burning my head. Simply click here and there and had finished the script would be much easier for me.:o

A simple advanced installer?!

I wonder the same thing. Either simple or advanced, I don't understand what he means.

Don´t you know the Program called "Advanced Installer" ? Heres a link http://www.advancedinstaller.com/ Its very easy to use, but you can´t compress your data as good as with Inno + FreeArc + precomp. You have to use the Included Compressors (Cab, LZMA2) or the setup won´t work.
But to build your Setup you have to click here,there,set a command and thats all. With a little exercise you have your new Installer in 20-30 minutes.:)

Apparently, a simple software is not advanced and an advanced software is not simple.

Hi yener is it neccessary to run Convert_AutorunToDLL.bat after the language script or can u just keep is as autorun.exe and have ur autorun.ini point to the autorun.exe.

You dont need to.
Autorun.ini is not required.
it will continue read from Setup.ini

how to auto launch after install game E.g: Settings.exe

Tools to design buttons ?
How do I add remaining time to my installer ?

Tools to design Buttons = imagination (best tool) and photoshop.

Thanks Mikey.


How to add remaining time like http://imageshack.us/a/img856/1163/imp3k.jpg (peter's CI) has done ?



Can someone give code & explain it (Precomp+Srep+FreeArc) for high compression ?
