Ya, I agree. In the current scenario (repacking), FreeArc plays a huge role, so the entire backbone of ISApexEx effectively depends on it.
The lack of support for `
cls-srep.dll` , `
cls-lolz.dll`, etc. also leaves a huge gap. Without support for them, ISApexEx becomes more of a
toy tool than a
top-tier tool.
Because of that, the transition to Inno Setup 7 x64 won't be particularly easy or smooth from this side, especially since many of the plugins we commonly use, such as `
botva2.dll`, are still x86, and some of them haven't received updates in
*years*.
So, I do plan to release an x64 build of ISApexEx, but for now, I'd like to buy some time before releasing it. In the meantime, we can try compiling the entire FreeArc project as an x64 build. Hopefully, we'll also find a solid and practical way to handle the existing x86 CLS plugins whose development has already stopped, so they can still be supported in an x64 host.
