Man, you're confusing me. I'm not a inno-script pro ! :p ;)

Well, during the uninstalling process. I want a folder, created by the game, vanish from Saved Games folder. Btw, I'm using Win7 and the path is:

C:\Users\My Name\Saved Games\Metro Exodus

Sorry I know, I'm a pain in da ass. I suffer from perfectionism OCD, btw. It's nasty :o

Edit: I sorted it out in Setup.ini --> SaveGameFolder3=C:\Users\{username}\Saved Games\Metro Exodus ...aaaand the folder is gonsky ! I'm happy with it. Well, the only problem is
where Metro Exodus dumps this save game folder in Win10.

@Cesar m8, your priority is to fix the registry issue ! :D

Btw, Metro Exodus creats 3 folders and 2 registry entries during the first launch:

1. My Documents --> 4A Games
2. Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming --> CPY_Saves (ermmm...cough)
3. Users\Username\Saved Games --> Metro Exodus

Registry:

1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\4A-Games
2. HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1998757662-2675839664-690416582-1000\Software\4A-Games

To remove the save folder inside the Saved Games folder using the key SaveGameFolder#= use {sd} to set a system drive:
SaveGameFolder3={sd}\Users\{username}\Saved Games\Metro Exodus

I will include a constant {savedgames} in the next CIU update.
If you want to change it in the current CIU script the text in red color.

Code:

function GetSavedGameFolder: String;

begin

  Result := ExpandConstant('{userdocs}\My Games');

  RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders', '{4C5C32FF-BB9D-43B0-B5B4-2D72E54EAAA4}', Result);

end;



function UpdateConstant(Current: String) : String;

begin

  Result := Current;

  if UninstallMode then

    StringChangeEx(Result, '{app}', UninstallPath, True)

  else

    StringChangeEx(Result, '{app}', WizardForm.DirEdit.Text, True);

  StringChangeEx(Result, '{savedgames}', GetSavedGameFolder, True);

  StringChangeEx(Result, '{win}', ExpandConstant('{win}'), True);

  StringChangeEx(Result, '{sys}', ExpandConstant('{sys}'), True);

  ...///The code goes on...

After code changed, use SaveGameFolder3={savedgames}\Metro Exodus

Great ! That makes things easier. Thanks ! :D

Btw, regarding registry. Yes, it works but as long as the subkey is empty, the uninstaller will delete it. But if it's not empty, it will remain.
Where is the switch in the script to make registry entries uninstall whether they're empty or not ?
Thanks mate for your work !

Will be released soon after some testing. Just letting you know.

CHANGELOG CIU 3.0.0.0.u7

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Changed "ISDone.dll" to "ISDone 0.6 final - for FreeArc Alpha 2012" (2012-09-27).

- Removed "DLZ" compressor from CIU, because it's no longer needed.



- Updated decompressor RAR (UnRAR.dll) from v5.21 to v5.80

- Updated compressor/decompressor "ZStandard" from v1.43 to v1.44 (x64 + x86).

- Updated decompressor pZLib3 from v3.0.1 to v3.2.0 (Final release)

  >> Now pzLib3 supports DUAL mode for 32 or 64 bit operating systems.



- Fixed conflicts between all current compressors (Thanks to Simorq for help).

  >> It is now possible to activate all compressors (not recommended) without conflicting, but probably the compression will get worse.



- Added Ultra HD compatibility functionality (Resolutions above Full HD).

  >> When booting the installer verifies that the monitor's vertical resolution is greater than 1080.

  >> If true, it inserts compatibility information into the registry and automatically relaunches a new instance of the installer closing the original instance.

  >> If this compatibility mode has been used the installer will clear the registry information upon termination.



- Changed the key name of Exe64Path= to ExePath64= in [Executable#] sections (now use 64 always at the end of all compatibles keys).

- Changed sections name from [Title] to [PageTitle] and also [BigTitle] to [PageBigTitle].

- Changed alignment of the directory selection form (SelectFolderForm) to align with the installer center.

- Changed the text of the welcome page by removing unnecessary information by slightly decreasing the lag in the eastern languages on this page.



- Added new keys WorkDir= and WorkDir64= keys in the [Executable#] sections.

  >> The keys WorkDir= or WorkDir64= determine the "Start In" directory (Work Dir) of executable shortcut.

  >> Use the value "\" in the key WorkDir= or WorkDir64= to display the value as "{app}\<ExePath>\" with backslash at the end.



- Added some new keys in the [Executable#] section for additional information for GOG or UWP installers.

  >> For information about the new keys see the file "_Setup.ini" from the "Help" folder.



- Fixed BigTitle label display on installer pages (Before was not visible).

- Fixed some errors when using commented lines after key value in creator mode.

- Fixed unknown constant "usersendto" error when using Inno Setup version 5.59 or older.

- Fixed some bugs related to removing keys from the registry where subkeys have constants.



- Fixed the size of the installer window by moving to the top leading off the screen.

  > Prior to this fix, this action changes the height of the installer, and the buttons/labels disappear from the installer.



- Fixed SelectDirBrowseLabel position for when using negative values for MoveDirectoryInfo= key so that Edit does not overlap the label.

  >> SelectDirBrowseLabel now vents together to the top when using negative values on the MoveDirectoryInfo = key.



- Added new constant {savedgames} in keys SaveGameFolder#= to inform correct save game folder as "C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games".



- Added new key FirstBGImage= in all [Component#] sections.

  >> This functionality lets you specify the first slide show image for each component.

  >> When the component is not selected, images from the corresponding component key value to the next component key value will not be displayed in the slideshow.



- Added new key CenterInstaller= in [InterfaceSettings] section, default value is 1.

  >> This key allows you to center the screen or display the installer where the autorun page was.

PFX and CER files extension

does anyone know how to get work in.setup.ini with these two files extension? name.pfx and name.cer there is a section in setup ini ? if it is can someone give me an example? these 2 files is for forza horizon 3 and if i install these 2 files in order DLC1 and DLC2 works. thanks in advice

if those are just the normal dlc files, then they should be compressed with the game no need to have them specifically in setup.ini. Unless you mean that 'name' .pfx / .cer are for each game owner ...

It's me again ! :p

There is a tiny problem with UI in Win10. Black fonts on black background. Anyone else ?

And one more tiny problem. It's not showing the size in add/remove programs.

Thanks for reporting ...
This different window is probably displayed by DiskSpan, and then stays inside the DLL. Because it is displayed differently I can not explain. Maybe it's because ISDone DLL was created a long time ago with very old software (maybe) and the diskspan DLL is called by it.

As for the size not displayed... I am aware of this.
It would be easy to enter a key for i game size. but if using components this would have to be calculated depending on the component selected. This function will be included in version 3.0.0.1 (Remind me in the future).

I noticed 2 bugs in InstallerScript_3.0.0.0.u6:
1-Progress bar does'nt reach 100%. It's stuck at something like 70% but it doesn't affect installation process.
2-LogoAB2 in About page doesn't show no matter what value you put in Setup.ini.

There are 2 options to fix this.
1) Use the old progressbar mode by setting value 1 on the Stretch keys of both progressbar sections.

2) This is the recommended mode. Use different images for each bar (ProgressImg.png, ProgressBackground.png) and (ProgressImgSI.png, ProgressBackgroundSI.png). For each bar create the image with the exact width of the value that is displayed on the label (xxx x xxx) when running in progressbar mode.

I don't know if this is so, but to display Logo2.png on the about page requires the value of the key SmallLogoOpacity= in [AboutSettings] to be greater than 0... to display 100% opaque use value 255 on this key.
In the CIU 3.0.0.0.u6 [2019.10.30] theme installer is normally displaying the "LogoAB2.png" logo which is in the "Setup\About" folder. (PS: The default logo in theme installer does not mark Yener90 vertically).

If you want you can send me a pm with your project that I check for you.

New version added.

Thankyou KaktoR, Cesar82, 78372, Simorq and to everyone else involved, your work is very much appreciated :)

Merry Christmas to you all, stay safe and all the best for the New Year.

I have a bug report (actually it's not a bug but something that should be implemented in the next version) but I'll wait till the end of holidays. :p ;)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year folks! :)

DISKSPAN.bat (FIXED FILES)

DiskSpan.bat fixed re-uploaded in "_Tools.7z" file. (Thanks KaktoR)
The DiskSpan.bat file may result in a few bytes or even smaller megabytes than specified for each disk.
This small error is due to limitation of calculations in the "set /a" function of bat files (maxing-out 32-bit number limitation).
Then the calculation was cut off the last 3 digits to work with large size values.
As long as only games are smaller than 2000 GB the current calculation will work.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Thanks!

This new version here worked fine.
But if anyone finds bugs, please report it.

Replace the files in both folders:
UltraARC 2900 R7 FULL
UltraARC 2900 R7 PUBLIC

Sorry for the buggy version... I didn't realize it wasn't working properly.
When kaktoR update the _Tools.7z file again I remove this post.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Thanks!

Re-uploaded :)

Hello people.

Please give us some screenshots of your most favourite installers of all time.

We want to add some "preview" to the opening post to give people some ideas of what's possible with CIU, since most of us know, CIU is pretty complex with all its settings to new people (some would call it "overwhelming" :D).

So please share with us a few fancy installers you like, but, if possible, a few more complex installers (something more just like the "standard things enabled") would be nice too.

Merry Christmas to all of you and your fams and friends. Keep the good moods.

There is another bug in _Diskspan.bat.

I will fix this tomorrow

Change

Code:

copy /y ".\!SETUPPATH!\!SETUPNAME!" ".\!CONVFOLDR!\!DISKLABEL!!DVDCount!\!SETUPICON!" >nul



to



copy /y ".\!SETUPPATH!\!SETUPICON!" ".\!CONVFOLDR!\!DISKLABEL!!DVDCount!\!SETUPICON!" >nul

One more bug

1. Select "Yes" to use same compression method to all games
2. Use option [18] and type something...
3. You will be on the previous step again (Methods types available)

Only if you select options [0] to [17] all is fine.

CI/CIU installer printscreen

Here are some print screen of conversions that used CI (CI is the old CIU - The beginning of everything)...
There must be some great ones here, but these ones in my opinion were very good (design) by limiting the old versions of CI/CIU.
I will post part II with images of conversions between CIU 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.14 and so on!
I will post the following parts in this same post!
Then you choose the best images this pack in your opinion.

I will check DiskSpan.bat again. Glad you're testing. I didn't see these errors you commented on.

At the end of the bat file put the red line to fix the bug in "Custom Method" [18] to ALL COMP change:

Code:

set /p %~1=  Method:

exit /b

:PreviousMethod

set "%~1=!previous!"

exit /b

To:

Code:

set /p custom=  Method:

set "%~1=!custom!"

set "previous=!custom!"

exit /b

:PreviousMethod

set "%~1=!previous!"

exit /b

Are these custom sample methods correct?
It does not work for me. Only the first custom example works here.

Code:

echo.                  xZ1+srep:m3f+4L1

echo.                  UR+srep:m3f+XZ

If wrong give me examples that work and not on the list of 17.

UR is not really usable in diskspan, because you have to seperate the files which are processed by UELR into another archive (the same for AFR, OGGRE, MPZ, maybe MSC too but not sure...). The only way to use it in single archive is the file masking method. Unfortunatelly diskspan doesn't support it, and I don't know if it's possible somehow - theoretically.

Edit: Fixed version uploaded. I have used my example from "Trine Ultimate Collection" for how to use components with Diskspan.

DiskSpan bat FIXED.

- Fixed copy of icon file to destination folder.
- Fixed to work custom mode correctly.
- Fixed aditional Records.ini path if the "Setup_Files" folder name is changed now will make the copy correctly.
- Changed compression examples in custom mode.
- Disabled the option to display component sum because when component size values do not have same unit (MB, GB) the calculation is done wrong.
- Fixed correct time in log file.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW DISKSPAN.bat TO TEST
The new version is for testing (Extract also the Resource folder contain files).
There may be some bugs yet.

NEWS:
- Added an external calculator for calculating folder sizes in bytes because it is not possible to calculate large numbers (Gb) in native bat functions.
- Added automatic calculation for first disk size, just disabling the first disk size line with "::" or entering one of the values: "0" or "AUTO".
- Added option to automatically move files from Redists or extras you wish to include on disk 1.
To do so just put the files or folders in the "Setup_Files" directory. Everything will be moved except text files in the root directory "Setup_Files".
- Fixed correct time in log file.
- Fixed sum of file sizes of each component after compression in finished page (Only in DiskSpan.bat [2019.12.29].rar).

NOTES:
By my tests the calculation is working well. Making good use of Setup.exe's independent media size is 10 or 200 mb, with no need to change anything.

ّFix DefaultInstallDir

DefaultInstallDir=D:\Games

http://uupload.ir/files/6nep_1.jpg

Code:

WizardForm.DirEdit.Text := RemoveBackslashUnlessRoot(ExpandConstant(Trim(GetValStrEx('InstallOptions', 'DefaultInstallDir', '')))) + GetAppName('')

http://uupload.ir/files/3dqx_2.jpg

Code:

WizardForm.DirEdit.Text := RemoveBackslashUnlessRoot(ExpandConstant(Trim(GetValStrEx('InstallOptions', 'DefaultInstallDir', '')))) + '\' + GetAppName('')

Thank you Simorq.

I don't know where I was with my head....
It was supposed to look like this.

Code:

WizardForm.DirEdit.Text := RemoveBackslashUnlessRoot(ExpandConstant(Trim(GetValStrEx('InstallOptions', 'DefaultInstallDir', '')))) + GetAppName('')



WizardForm.DirEdit.Text := AddBackslash(ExpandConstant(Trim(GetValStrEx('InstallOptions', 'DefaultInstallDir', '')))) + GetAppName('')

Cesar82 please you can check these bugs? with CIU3 u6 no problem at all

i made a screenshot to see

these error's is with last update CIU3 u7

look at taskbar it shows percent and Test Run and that error

I do not know what exactly it can be.
Maybe it is because some CIU compressors have been updated.
The ISDone library has been updated as well. But the mistake is CRC and I don't think so.
Try copying the ISDone.dll from the "Resources\Decompressors\ISDone" folder of CIU 3.0.0.0.u6 to CIU 3.0.0.0.u7.
Let me know if this procedure works.
Maybe KaktoR or Simorq can answer better on this subject.

@andreiutzu21

Code:

Resources\Decompressors\FreeArc\CLS.ini

Code:

[Srep]

Bufsize=24m

transfer_ReadBufSize=512k

transfer_WriteBufSize=512k

Memory=50%-512m → Memory=512m

TempPath={app}

And use 86-bit versions of ZTool, XTool, pZLib.

Thanks. OLD works fine now.

I will test component calculation in the next days.

Ok guys,

so here is the problem when using external scripts like custom icons, shortcuts and the Registry script. When uninstalling the game,
it does not remove the Program folder in Start Menu and the Registry keys still remain despite the game is uninstalled. If you have time,
please implement this option. Here is the script. Please try it. Thanks. :)

Edit: I managed to delete the program folder in Start Menu -->

Code:

[UninstallDelete]

Type: filesandordirs; Name: "{userprograms}\{groupname}"

Edit 2: Nope, it doesn't work always. Weird behavior. @.@

/me embarrassed... :o

Well, the Registry entries "issue" is still there.

*knock...knock...anybody home ? :p

Edit: Ok, I got the Registry "issue" under control. It's not an elegant solution but it works. Till someone finds something better.

Code:

#define AppPublisher "SEGA"

Code:

   { remove product code registry entrie }

    if ProductCode <> '' then

      RegDeleteKeyIncludingSubkeys(HKLM, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\' + ProductCode);

      RegDeleteKeyIncludingSubkeys(HKLM, 'SOFTWARE\{#AppPublisher}');

  end;

end;

Eh, now the Start Menu shortcuts... :(

You have greatly altered the original CIU script.
There will be some bugs with these changes.
The About page has stopped working.
You can change the script for your use, but I ask you to keep the About page working and original by displaying the credits of the original CIU contributors and translators.

Answering your question:
CIU does not create an uninstaller as in conventional Inno Setup installers (Unis000.exe, Unis000.dat).
Uninstall.exe from the installation folder is the same Setup.exe file that is copied to the folder and the uninstall functions are all defined in the code section.
Therefore the installer does not remove icons included in the [Icons] section, so you must include them in the code within the CreateShortcuts and DeleteShortcuts functions.
The [UninstallDelete] section is also not supported on CIU as the default uninstallation of Inno Setup is never performed.
You can include the functions of deleting folders or files within the Uninstall function of code.

NOTES:
You have removed almost all languages, this can cause errors.
I would not recommend these changes all in the script the way you did.
You could simply have limited the languages you want to make available in Setup.ini or disabled the lines in the [Files] section and changed only in GetLanguage and also the part in CheckAvaiLanguages where you changed to:
if (TmpStr2 in ['HR', 'ENUK', 'EN']) then

Sorry, I removed all that stuff to make the CIU smaller. Regarding the 'About' page, it wasn't intentionally. I was so ocupied with this icons and registry issues.
The 'About' page will return back again. Sorry again. My intention was not to discredit anyone who worked on this project. Removing unnecessary languages didn't
affect the CIU integrity. It's working without any problems. Looks like you've faced me against the wall. So script with icons won't work in a regular way...hmm.
I'm dropping the subject. :(

Yes, we are very adamant about this here at Fileforums, all Credits must be maintained and given at all times. A lot of people have put a lot of their own time into it and do not get paid for their work, the least people can do is give them a little credit. If you remove those credits then these people will lose faith and may stop their work, then everyone misses out on their great contributions.
Credit must always be given or kept in place. ;)

@Cesar,

here is the CIU by default. Nothing removed from the script. No icon and registry script. It still leaves the empty Publisher folder in the Start Menu ! I have
noticed a strange thing, as long as you don't open the Publisher folder, in this case SEGA, the uninstaller will delete it, otherwise it won't. The script has already
all constants in the uninstall part such as {commonprograms} and {userprograms}. So, in other words, I can't do jack sh*t. Heck, someone would say, stop whining.
Delete it manually. But that's not the point, :(

here it works also

i used win 8.1 x64

At least we're getting somewhere. First, the fix isn't working. The good news is that everything is ok in Windows 10 (opened in a virtual machine). So the conclusion is, Windows 7 is a bad guy here. But that doesn't mean I'm moving to Win 10. It's the ugliest OS since Windows Millenium Edition ! :p In other words... @Cesar, fix the darn thing ! ;)

Edit: Thanks for the shortcut tip. If this could be done in Setup.ini it would be even better. :)

Edit 2: Anyone else has the same problem with Windows 7 ?

It is a good idea for future versions. But I do not promise that this feature will be added.

Code:

I changed it in the script to include your additional icons.

find in script by "CUSTOM ICONS ADD HERE" (without quotes).

You can include other additional icons in this part if you need to.

Windows 7 has a delay deleting internal files in the folder, so it does not remove the directory as it is not empty yet.
I made some changes, and tested on a virtual machine with windows 7 professional. Apparently it is working.

Try with this new script.

It's working ! ...But on a clean Windows 7 (virtual machine)... :( So that means, the culprit is my copy of Windows. Something is interfering with the uninstalling process and that's beyond my knowledge so far. Damn. I made a fool of myself. Sorry Cesar. Thanks for your effort. If you or someone has an idea please post it here.

CIU 3.0.0.1.b3 (Coming soon)

Hello people...

For the past few days I've been working on CIU 3.0.0.1.b3 (Beta 3).
The script has been changed a lot, possibly many bugs will appear.

The changes were necessary to try to slightly improve the startup time (very little improvement).
The entire button creation and access structure has also been changed to correct the failure and slowness by clicking the same button multiple times.
These changes made it possible to include additional buttons.
Now if you put a few buttons in the installer, you will get better performance. Required buttons are only UniInstallbutton, NextButton, BackButton and SmallBrowse (If you use Smallinstaller, you also need SmallCancel or CloseSI).
Make a comparison between version 3.0.0.0.u7 and 3.0.0.1.b3.
Button click response time is much faster in this version 3.0.0.1.b3.

In a few days I'll be sharing CIU 3.0.0.1 beta 3 in the CIU Dev group.
