Not supported this way.

However you could save all actions for different games in a single bat file and use

Code:

if

command.

Open CMD.exe and type

Code:

if /?

to get additional help there.

I did a "Frankenstein" in the script, and I managed to make it work, in a pretty horrible way hahaha
Then I will try to improve the code...

Code:

      

if IsComponentChecked(2) and not IsDoneError then

      begin

        PercentLabel.Hide;

        ElapsedLabel.Hide;

        RemainingLabel.Hide;

        if FileExists(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\xdelta3.exe')) then

        begin

          FileCopy(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\xdelta3.exe'), ExpandConstant('{app}\xdelta3.exe'), False);

          WizardForm.FilenameLabel.Caption := ExpandConstant('{cm:BatchExecution}');

          WizardForm.FilenameLabel.Font.Size := 12;

          WizardForm.FilenameLabel.Left := WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Left;

          WizardForm.FilenameLabel.Top := WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Top;

          WizardForm.FilenameLabel.Width := WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Width;

          WizardForm.FilenameLabel.Height := WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Height;

          WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Hide;

          if FileExists(ExpandConstant('{app}\english.pak.xdelta')) then

          begin

            RenameFile(ExpandConstant('{app}\Game\Localized\english.pak'), ExpandConstant('{app}\Game\Localized\english.pak.tmp'));

            Exec(ExpandConstant('{app}\xdelta3.exe'), ' -d -B536870912 -qfs "Game\Localized\english.pak.tmp" "english.pak.xdelta" "Game\Localized\english.pak"', '', SW_HIDE, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode);

            DeleteFile(ExpandConstant('{app}\xdelta3.exe'));

            DeleteFile(ExpandConstant('{app}\english.pak.xdelta'));

          end;

        end;

      end;

Is it at all possible to use this in combination with DiskSpan in order to make an installer that is split across multiple disks that you can insert one at a time similar to old DOS games?

Would you be able to give me a rough idea of what I would need to do? I understand how to make an installer with the created bin, ini, and dll files when they are in the same directory as the exe, but am not so sure as to where I should start to get ASIS reading off of disc drives.

Set disk size in diskspan -> compress files -> create setup.exe -> copy setup.exe to the same folder where bin files are and install

I understand that much, but I want to have all of the setup and bin files on separate DVDs inserted one at a time. Say for example I have portal 2 split up into 2 bin files. I want 1 bin file, Setup.dll, Records.ini, and Setup.exe on one DVD. The install process will start as usual, but when the first bin is done extracting, get prompted to remove the DVD and insert Disc 2. Hopefully that example gives a better idea of what I'm asking is possible :)

Then just move second bin file to another folder. Setup will ask for that file if first bin file is finished.

That did it, thank you so much!

execute command during decompress

Hello
Can you help me fo this :

I would like to start a command line during decompress
unpack data-1a-01.bin
execute commande like wemtool
continue to unpack data-1b-01.bin

with diskspan , it makes a file record.ini like this

Code:

[Record1]

Type=FreeArc_Original

Source={src}\Data1a-01.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=4.005.985.165 bytes



[Record2]

Type=Exec_Command

Source={cmd}

Output=/C "patch.bat"

Disk=1



[Record3]

Type=FreeArc_Original

Source={src}\Data1b-01.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=16.231.822 bytes



[InstallerSettings]

SingleDisk=1

ASIS can do this kind of things ?

Best regards

Use Settings.ini for this

Code:

[Batch]

Enable=1

BatchFile=Patch.bat

Setup\Patch.bat

Code:

@echo off

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion EnableExtensions



"WemTool.exe" -d



endlocal

del "%~f0"

WemTool.exe has to be in game root folder. Patch.bat will be executed from there. Cmd will be executed on the end when all files are extracted.

Hello, in Registry.iss what do I have to write in ValueType for the registry type REG_BINARY and REG_DWORD? Or is string the only ValueType that works?

Use InnoSetup help

Code:

ValueType

The data type of the value. This must be one of the following:



none

string

expandsz

multisz

dword

qword

binary



If none (the default setting) is specified, Setup will create the key but not a value. In this case the ValueData parameter is ignored.

If string is specified, Setup will create a string (REG_SZ) value.

If expandsz is specified, Setup will create an expand-string (REG_EXPAND_SZ) value.

If multisz is specified, Setup will create an multi-string (REG_MULTI_SZ) value.

If dword is specified, Setup will create a 32-bit integer (REG_DWORD) value.

If qword is specified, Setup will create a 64-bit integer (REG_QWORD) value.

If binary is specified, Setup will create a binary (REG_BINARY) value.

A large number of users report this error:

RUNNING INSTALLER WITH SELECTED LANGUAGE FAILED. Code:5

What's the problem?
