Try to avoid incompatibility of compression and unpacking tools.
You cannot use one version of compressor to compress (in this case, those used by DiskSpan GUI) and another version to decompress.
Example: Your MTX64.exe from the first post is 5.0.0.3 (64-bit).
DiskSpan GUI compresses using MTX64.exe v0.1 (64-bit) which is a remake of the old MTX project.
If you use an MTX method like razor_mtx, even if everything else is compatible, the extraction will fail because the version of the tool is different and often (this is one case) the commands are different.
You should always use the same version-compatible tools for compression and decompression.
The "DiskSpan GUI" generates Setup.dll containing all compatible files, even if you don't understand anything about compression.
Yes, you can extract Setup.dll and merge it into your installer using the TOOLS button ("Setup DLL" tab).
There you can even create a DLL setup before compressing using the "Maker" subtab, if you are already sure which method you are going to use.
If you noticed, in the last DSG module, it already supports including compressors in a folder that will be automatically included in your setup.exe, requiring only external Records.ini (if setup.dll exists next to setup.exe, the compressors from Setup.dll).
You can also put records.ini in the folder before compressing setup.exe if you don't want anything external, but you will need to compress the game first to generate Records.ini or write it manually.

Agreed and acknowledged the 'MTX' point but as I said it is still alpha and I still do not have it all compression method comptaible. The ones created are just what I've used so far. Or use plugins for some game (like w3, Ghost of Tsushima, Starfield, etc.) and then remove. In this way, I keep my Setup.exe from overburdened with all the unnecessary files. DSG is by far the most useful tool for compression for me and the support is great too. If someone understands how to use it, it's a boon.
