2. Also one more question, do I need to include compressors in [Files] section of the script? AND WILL THE SETUP WORK IF I INCLUDED THE WHOLE "Resources" folder inside the Compressor folder?? Or do I need to copy each compressor seperately??
   
3. Where do I put records.ini after compression? And do I need to include it in script??

Thank you

After you extract the "Light Installer" source code, extract and delete the "COMPRESSOR" folder.
Download DiskSpan_GUI 1.0.0.4, extract and place the "COMPRESSOR" folder in "Light Installer" folder where you deleted the previous one.

1. Go to the "COMPRESSOR" folder and run "_DiskSpan_GUI_CONFIG.bat" and change the settings you need and click "Save" and close DiskSpan_GUI.

2. Go back to the main "Light Installer" folder and open the script with Inno Setup to create and compile the script after making the necessary changes to the script. Your Setup.exe will be created in the "COMPRESSOR\Setup_Files" folder.

3. Now you can compress the game. After compressing the game, the compressed files will be in the selected output directory (Default is COMPRESSOR\Conversion_Output).
Subfolders will be created according to the configuration on DiskSpan_GUI (By default it creates DVD_1, DVD_2, etc) during the compression of the game.
Your setup.exe compiled previously will be automatically copied to the DVD_1 folder and the disk space will be calculated according to the settings in DiskSpan_GUI.
All necessary files will be in the DVD_# folder. So do not remove any files from the DVD_# folder.
For example, if you compress an 8 GB game (DiskSpan mode) and the compression is 6 GB, then in the "COMPRESSOR \ Conversion_Output" folder you will have these files:

COMPRESSOR\Conversion_Output\DVD_1
Autorun.inf          //Disk autoplay information.
Data1a.bin.001       //Compressed file (first split part).
Records.ini          //Information file about compressed filesfiles that setup.exe reads.
Setup.dll            //File of type ".arc" (compressed -m3) containing all external compressors and also CLS and FreeArc configuration files necessary to perform the extraction of the file.
Setup.exe            //Setup created by Light Installer script. 
Setup.ico            //Icon of Light Installer to display on the DVD/Blu-Ray drive. 

COMPRESSOR\Conversion_Output\DVD_2
Autorun.inf          //Disk autoplay information.
Data1a.bin.002       //Compressed file (second split part).
Setup.ico            //Icon of Light Installer to display on the DVD/Blu-Ray drive.

P.S: You can merge Records.ini in the Setup.dll file on the finish page of DiskSpan_GUI after compression (optional).
