If you want to display the time at the end of the installation, you now need to enable the option in "Setup.ini" after u6.
It's info in changelog:

Code:

- Changed default values in this keys ShowResumeTime=, ShowUninstallTime=, ShowFreeSpaceLabel= and ShowCheckAll= to false (Default = 0).

  >> If you need this information and labels, just enter the key in your conversion.



- Changed default value of Visible= key in [ExtrasButton] section to "0".

  >> Now if you want to display the extra button in autorun, you need to use Visible=1

You need to use shapes in Photoshop. The borders are made using Layer Styles. There is a lot of tutoriais on Youtube about these tools.
I think Cesar should have the .psd file from this project. Maybe he can share with you. :D

Cheers.

Here's the full autorun PSD, maybe it's useful for you ...
I have no practice in photoshop so may have some unnecessary layers.
Perhaps the same effect will be achieved with fewer layers and effects.

Hi guys,

nope, I can't make the DiskSpan work. I've tried everything. With/without records.ini. Nothing. The installer throws at me the same error. When I pack it with UltraArc, everything is OK.
Any solutions? :confused:

KaktoR

03-12-2019 08:38

What tools for compression did you use that give you this error?

@Kaktor,

The Diskspan bundled with UltraArc from Razor. But I also tried your version. Same issue.

BTW, XTool + Srep + LZMA

@Cesar,

I'll try that. Will report back.

Seems to be ok, if works with UltraArc...
Try #Define LOLZ instead #Define SevenZip (Don't know if will make any difference...)

VCLStyles usually fails with DiskSpan, if i remember.

Here is the script. Please find some time and test it. :(

Your problem is Records.ini

Code:

[Record2]

Type=Freearc_Original

Source={src}\Data.Bin.002

Output={app}

Disk=2

Remove this Record2 and it will work.

If you use DiskSpan you just need to add first part of an archive (no matter how many splitted following parts this archive has).

DiskSpan batch files will make a Records.ini automatically, therefore you don't need to do anything on this file. Only exception is if you create more then 1 diskspan archive. In this case you have to add all first parts to Records.ini

Hmm, I'm about to ditch this Installer. It's not user friendly. :o I'm having problems with cleaning registry entries and now this...
When I choose the option to delete the Game Save folder which is in localappdata\TSCGame, it slaps me with this error. But when I choose to
not to delete this folder, the uninstalling process goes without any problem. Da heck is going on ? :confused:

Oops, sorry for the huge images. :o
Edit: uploaded smaller images now.

The error is in this line...
Is missing zero digit in value. Sorry!

Code:

StringChangeEx(Result, '{sendto}', ExpandConstant('{{#VER > 0x506000 ? "user" : ""}sendto}'), True); {>5.60}

Change value to:

Code:

StringChangeEx(Result, '{sendto}', ExpandConstant('{{#VER > 0x5060000 ? "user" : ""}sendto}'), True); {>5.60}

It will be fixed in the next version.

Well, the installer doesn't delete the registry keys during uninstall. They remain in the registry. Only I can do now is delete them manually. :confused:

CIU does not work with these reg keys using ISPP.
Test with this changed log file.
Currently the Subkey value does not work with functions like {code: getpath}
I'll fix this later.
Try writing the entire line of the registry key in text when possible.

Sometimes i cut buttons direct from the game, sometimes i just try reproduce the design looking the menus from the game and sometimes i create my own.

I also use Photoshop (CC 2020) and Google (Images, renders, music, etc);
HyperSnap 8 to take the screenshots from the game (menus etc...);
Most of the time, i try to take the original sound buttons, so i just put the music vol in 0 and record a video with Geforce Experience or Windows GameBar.
After that, i cut the sound buttons using Camtasia Studio, separating audio from video.

Inno Setup Repack 6.03

I upgraded my Inno Setup Repack to v6.03 (The link contain Lite e Full version).
To install skins packs extract SkinPack.rar from the same Inno Setup Repack FULL installer directory.

Hi ppl,

is there a constant for Users\Username\Saved Games ? I want to delete a folder in Saved Games but to no avail. I can't find that constant on the net.

I tried:

{Userprofile}\Saved Games
{%Userprofile%}\Saved Games
%Userprofile%\Saved Games
{Username}\Saved Games

Edit: The only way is writing down the full path in Setup.ini which is SaveGameFolder3=C:\Users\*****\Saved Games\

Not a very happy solution. I can't believe that the Inno Setup developer didn't include such constant.

You can use something like this:

Code:

function UpdateConstant(const S: String): String;

var

  strDocs: String;

  strSaves: String;

begin

  Result := ExpandConstantEx(S, 'savedgames', ExpandConstant('{userdocs}\My Games'));

  if (GetWindowsVersion shr 24 >= 6) and (Result = ExpandConstant('{userdocs}\My Games')) then

  begin

    RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{F42EE2D3-909F-4907-8871-4C22FC0BF756}', 'RelativePath', strDocs);

    RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{4C5C32FF-BB9D-43b0-B5B4-2D72E54EAAA4}', 'RelativePath', strSaves);

    StringChangeEx(Result, '\' + strDocs + '\My Games', '\' + strSaves, True);

  end;

end;

This function also expands the other constants normally:
>> MsgBox(UpdateConstant('{userdocs}'), mbInformation, MB_OK); {expands normally}
>> MsgBox(UpdateConstant('{savedgames}'), mbInformation, MB_OK);

Remembering that CIU already has an UpdateConstant function.
If it is to be used in the CIU script, change the function name such as UpdateConstant2.

Thanks, but where should I "squeeze" these lines in the script coz the compiler gives me an error... UpdateConstant is duplicate. :o

Change the name of the function and call the function using the new name.
Where do you want to use this constant savegames?
In which part of the script?
