little update :D

Since you decided to protect the code, your installer’s been made less attractive. Your work had a great educational goal, now it’s a closed installer like lots of other ones :(.
IMHO, the tutorial section is not really the right location to host it.

moderators move this thread in tutorial section, about source i thinked maybe upload full source from first version to version 2.3.1.0 for thos who want learn to write inno setup scripts.

Your thread would have more visibility on the main DVD conversion section :rolleyes:

Good idea! Seeing further by standing on the shoulders of giants :D

The first post has been 'massively' edited by altef_4 himself, it now looks nothing like it did when first posted. When first posted it was originally posted as a tutorial for his own installer. At one stage altef_4 was adding more parts of the 'tutorial' to the first post which he mentions in Posts 5, 6 and 7 of this thread. (I have quoted those threads below).

So, that is how and why this thread ended up in the 'correct' Tutorial Section. ;)

Agree with that , Altef4’s post had clearly an educational inclination and the tutorial section made sense. I just point its leaning is different now and his installer may have more success in the main section. :p

RC2 version uploaded,
added huge language pack,
updated data protection

p.s languages files was taken from original inno setup, so, not all text is translated, but you can translate it yourself,
german translation status -100% thanks to mausschieber

I'm very interested on this Installer and the EI Designer. Looks great! Keep up the Work, I'm hot to Test it.

first post updated, new info added, if you find some mistakes - tell me :)

Can you tell when is your IEDesinger is ready? Try it now 8 times to make an Installer out of your Source but I can't look though. Only errors??!!

designer it's just GUI interface, i don't know when it's will be finished, about errors can you tell what you do exactly, or show some screens with errors?

Ok, I've made an Installer for Metal Gear RR out of you Borderlands Example with Internal Compression, It works. At the End of Installation I've got a few Errors.
All together: "File: OnClick.wav, OnEnter.wav, Confirm.wav, Decline.wav, Confirm.wav, Decline.wav not found!" I also found no one of these files in the Example. No Clue whats wrong. The Errors comes before the Finish Window.
Questions:
1: How can I set the Internal Compression Mode? (Lzma/fast/Ultra)
2: Is there a Trick that the Slideshow "Slides" automatic? Or have I always to click though for myself?
3: What are the Best settings for the Video? Can I use Video and Slideshow or only Video, only Slideshow?

about errors, i forget to rename this files in script, tomorrow i will upload fixed version,
1. will add this in next update
2. will add automatic slide change in next update
3. you can use video and/or slideshow during install, about best settings, you mean how to convert video file?

p.s thanks for info about errors ;)

version 2.3.1.5_RC3 uploaded

Yes, Video Size, Bitrate.

my installer used modified version of Inno Media Player by tlama, and some instructions are in this post

have moved thread from conversion tutorial to main thread, where it will get more attention it now deserves. It started as a tutorial but now is more of a script in itself.
nice work bud :)

Good work till now, but I find the next (or new) bug.
The Start Menu shortcut does not work correct. After Install the Game I have a no named Shortcut from the Install dir on Desktop!
In Start Menu it's, Konami -> Empty Folder-> under this-> Start Game, Uninstall Game.
Can't be correct...
I've made the exacly same like in old Version of your Installer, and there it wasn't so.
But Video works fine, auto Slideshow also.
I hope I can change the size of the Progessbar like I want, the Size from Example is TOO BIG for me.

in this update i made few changes in Installer.ini:
1: desktop icons now in [Shortcuts] section
2: added [Internal] section
3: internalSetup moved to [internal] section
4: added aotoslideinterval to [Slideshow] section (value in seconds)

do you edit your Installer.ini after update?

you can change Progressbar size and position:
in installer.ini:
[ProgressBar] section, key PBBack=Left,Top,Width,Heught (settings for standart progressbar and background image of textured progressbar, if you use textured)
[ProgressBar] section, key PBMain=Left,Top,Width,Height,Animated(0|1),Animati on interval(settings only for main image of textured progressbar, if you use textured)

p.s. almost all configs in installer.ini have this structure:
e.g.
Welcome=430,155,400,150,1,$E1E12D,$000000,EagleSan s-Regular,12,9
Welcome=left,top,width,height,font color,shadow color,font name, main font size, little font size

Yea I know, and its good.
The Problem is an another one. I've left only a few Buttons and the Windowsizes from Example.
The Problem is this:
http://www7.pic-upload.de/17.02.14/e9wbznc2fu4.png
Hope you Understand...:)
I have a no named Shortcut from the Install dir on Desktop!
In Start Menu it's, Konami -> Empty Folder-> under this-> Start Game, Uninstall Game.

what you write in [Shortcuts] section?

[Shortcuts]
ApplicationExecutable1=Name:Metal Gear Rising Revengence;Executable:METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE.exe
ApplicationExecutable2=Name:

Hmm, if I look now, I can Remember I have delete the "=Name:" behind Executable2 in last version. Could this be the Reason?

problem in this line: ApplicationExecutable2=Name:
if you dont want to create shortcut - remove whole line (but at least one shortcut must be in this section)

final result:
ApplicationExecutable1=Name:Metal Gear Rising Revengence;Executable:METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE.exe

p.s. do not remove ApplicationExecutable1, it's always must be in this plase, just with other parameters ;)

Name: , Executable: it's Required settings for all shortcuts, Parameters: not Required

Hi ... I need advice what files the installer unpacks? ... when I put the setup.exe file and Data.db Data1.bin and Data2.bin so I wrote a mistake ... compression I was doing in FreeArc ...
I am Czech ...
Very nice work that zasloží awards :)

installer supports freeatc, srep,precomp, and internall compression
if you want unpack archives created with freearc you must edit installer.ini, section [freearc]
if you want more detailed info - i help

Hi, I need more advice ... I can not figure it out ... (
1st - Expanding Soubry ... Compress program FreeArc ...
when you compress files on ultra arc Bin.bd as already set in scripts
But when I start to install it wants a disk ... more picture:

h http://www.imagehosting.cz/?v=1zcz.png

(In the file Data.bd not compression game BF4 ... I've got a date with another game just to test it unnecessary to compression of such Giga ..)

When it enters the path to the file is not expanded Bin.bd worth it to 0%

and after 5 minutes jumps to 100% and more error image:

http://www.imagehosting.cz/?v=2jnj.png

I need something like this to make it go nicely behind those files ...

1st - eg: Bin1.db - 2Gb
Second - example: Bin2.db - 2.3 Gb
3rd - eg: Bin3.db - 4.3 Gb
4th etc. ..
5th .... perhaps you understand :)

More image:

The second problem is that I do not create a shortcut on the desktop: (
I do not have the opportunity to try it out when it throws me errors when installing so I do not know if I've entered the correct file. ini ...

My file: Download if you could be edited and sent back I'd be very happy :)
very like it and enjoy it to me but this stopped me: (

http://uloz.to/x2tTga6N/installer-ini

and yet I need to know where you can change the amount of space on the HDD in any other repack now I'm trying to do Repack with BATTLEFIEL 4 to 6 update and 2xDLC in Cz :)
and it has all the trimmings of 42Gb :) I hope that I will compress 18 to 22GB :)

More picture: is highlighted in red ...

I hope that you will understand what I need :) I čech Thank you for your advice and answer :)
