Ahn, I understand. Thanks for info!

Thanks for the installer bro. One problem- How to add data.bin file for the setup to extract?
Edit: Tried using data1.arc, compressed using MR361dx external compressor, but it shows "Unable to extract data1.arc". What should I do?

Help please

Not tell from the picture to make the progress bar? (Or something like that) :D

Which one dude? progress? nah i'm not screenshot from progress bar. it's smooth now dude. try it :D

what compressor should i use ?

any.

How to use to extract Lz77 already added 7zip, more does not work someone has already done work?

Update coming soon,
0.0.6.2, fixed bug for masks.

HI.

Is it possible to modify repack installers with this tool?

If not then how do I add Bin files here to compile a new installer?

I read the manual several times and I get more confused each time :confused:
under the config tab/install would the type be arc or lmza since bbv2 designer internal compression was lmza2?

Forgive my ignorance, This is the first time that I'm dabbling with such tools ... I used black box v2 designer to create a repack and now hoping to surpass the limitations of that tool by adding more features to the installer.

Has anyone done video tutorials for this tool?

No you can't modify repack installers with this.

There is no internal compression from this, you have to use external compressors, Freearc, 7-Zip ..... whatever.

I already have the bin files made with bbv2 designer, I assume I can use those.

Can I add the dll resources from bbv2\script\include folder, would there be a problem if I add all of it since I don't know which ones to add lol :D

Also the finish button on page 5 doesn't work however cancel on pages 1-4 work .. weird

If you could check my setup I would appreciate it.

What a bug. I'll check it out. Regarding the dll resources, look in the picture below, just add all of them here and they will be considered by the installer you're making.

The best program for creating installers, awaiting Update 0.0.6.2 :D

Thanks Razor for all the help, you awesome bro :)


I've encounted another issue, running a newly build installer adds vfdiver.sys
Windows defender calls it a trojan:win32/dynamer!ac

AppData\Local\Temp\ASC-2C743408\setup32\vfdriver.sys

Is this a false positive?

False positive.

I'm loving this app so far, can't wait to see what fancy updates come next.


1. OK is there another way to add reg files? Sadly many games use the registry. I don't suppose we can dupe the game to run without reg keys.

Also,

2. How would I add a file verification process after installation is successful?

3. On my first test my installer had 6 pages with 3 dialogue pages and the finish button refused to work, I had to end task in task manager.
I then added 3 more making it 6 dialogue pages and now the finish button works.

Do the number of dialogue pages make a difference to the setup, can I just one dialogue page or how do you calculate the number of dialogue pages required? or can I just skip it all together?

4. Do I have to create uninstaller? Can't I just have windows use the its default uninstaller?

Thanks,

Advanced Setup Creator new version

Working on it.

The new version will be ready

Uninstaller Config
 

Can someone please help he with the uninstaller? I'm still learning :o

In the uninstaller config do I select
type as delete folder
source as <InstallDir>\Mass Effect 1
condition as {[ME1Uninstall]=True}

I want the option to remove selected files.

Also how would I setup to uninstall everything?

Video cannot be placed behind anything but you can try under the form section.

Update delayed, closest friend of mine said I must make this program more user friendly.

This is not only one problem you have.

Some issues your software are struggling:
1. Hard drive and Memory usage are terrible.

and hard drive sometimes loads to 99 percent. For an advanced user, it is not funny. Another example:

2. I just load "Nature" template and compile it. Check temp file and what we see? Lots of unnecessary files.
http://i.imgur.com/dHWhtC8.png
3. The size of compiled setup is too big.

4. Now about program interface. It is very uncomfortable to use. Tabs with this UI is horrible to use. You never know what you select and it is anti-intuitive. Should work to UX side.
5. User interface designer. Looks fine but why item properties in a separate tab? Should be like classical any classical IDE editor on the right side for easy and quick editing.
6. This drop-down menu in designer responds only to click on the arrow.
I can keep it up indefinitely... Their lots of stuff need to work.

Do not get me wrong I think you need some critics.

Thanks mate, It's a one man project. dealing with 126 000 line source isn't easy. Memory usage is because the installer focuses on quality, I'll do some tweaks and lower memory usage, in terms of HDD usage, ASC only uses HDD for startups, otherwise it doesn't transfer anything after that. All I can say is You'll notice some teared graphics because anti aliasing will be lower plus will lower frame rate for animations.

The compiled setup is big because all images are png so that alpha channels are kept, seems like it's the only format that I can use.

But will work on it, either way, it's a alpha project, nothing has been stable so far, what I have seen so far are memory leaks during installation.

When you look at the properly designed installer with more content on it, it's using less than 120mb ram, this thing of it using 200 with less content is very new.

I totally understand its taught. If I am not mistaken you use software rendering for drawing components or scalable vector graphics. It makes sense for big usage of memory for drawing. You should add option disabling it and use the only .png supports. There should always be a compromise for everyone, really?

About the size of installer. Why to not use 7z as an internal compressor for all files.

If you need some help with the design side of program happy to help.

It's of course much better result. However, I think its still not enough. Try to reduce it unless for 50 MB and it will be fair enough.

The RAM usage problem is because of this, but if you say its high, I'll just reduce the quality, look in the pictures below.

About setup size, well I thought about this but there aren't many good sources for LZMA in delphi, but will try to make custom compressor which is good. the one thing that you don't get is the executable file itself without anything inserted is 15.4mb, that's the base exe without any attachments, it's this big because of the attachments it has, if you were comparing it to Inno Setup then I'm afraid, but Inno is based on VCL, and ASC is based on FMX, those are just some of the consequences.

Hello there Razor12911
Advanced Setup Creator new version
What time ready
and new innovation
there is

There was something, but now there is nothing, started new path for optimization.

Well, it's explain everything. Never work before with Firemonkey and seems it some heavy beast. ASC some kind of hardcore coding where uses DirectX or OpenGL just for interface program.

Yep, precisely. Plus on top of that, it's very difficult to make it work the way you want it to. I left VCL because there are some limitations in terms of design.

It is sound very nice but, I think its work more like for mobile apps. However, they don't need installers :)

Though there are a couple of things to do that would help with optimization, been busy with other projects, haven't fully focused on ASC for a while.

Good luck pal and do not overwork.

Improving UI #1

When editing, a dialog will show a list of all variables, functions, constants and etc to help with filling up the rows (things to do) for your installation.
