I find it easier to use it with the Setup.dll external file.
Otherwise it would take a lot of stretches in the script for you to include your compressors.
Extracting the compressors from the Setup.dll file is much faster than extracting from within setup.exe.
You can create your own Setup.dll with your compressors, just by compressing the contents of your compressor folder with FreeArc using the -m1 method.
Then you can use your bat file to compress your game.
I think that in the UltraArc folder there is a BAT (_Compress Optional DLL) to you drop your compressors folder and Setup.dll will be generated.
Then just move Setup.dll to your Setup.exe.
Setup.dll supports including Arc.ini and CLS.ini with their original names.
You will also need the information of the compressed files in an external file records.ini (you can include Records.ini within Setup.dll).
You can also configure the methods on DiskSpan_GUI. DiskSpan_GUI is 95% configurable. DiskSpan_GUI will soon support freearc masks.
