But yeah, your Mini Compressor is good but complicated and equal to UltraARC.exe
Hi again, I managed to make an archive out of both your methods which is great.

I've managed to make my custom installer and archive, but where do I put my archive and where do I specify in the settings for it to detect that the archive needs to be decompressed by the installer?

If I have multiple archives (say one with main game files, others with language packs) how would I integrate them to be extracted into the same directory during setup, and how do I know the right decompression commands are going to be used?



I assume that this part of Settings.ini has to do something with it?

--------------------------------------------------------------- Edit:

I got it so far. I managed to get my Payload to be found by the installer, and when I put more work in, I should be able to get other archives into the proces of extraction.

The main issue now is that no matter which compressor I use, I always get Unarc error -6 saying that the archive is not readable. I tried using a different file extension (e.g. .bin instead of .arc) but I still keep getting the same error. Oh, and all archives in the setup folder get deleted if the installer is cancelled. What could be causing these issues?
