then check that Ztool option on Extract settings..
I think something is missing related ztool..

thia one is 7.1.1 beta or beta 2?
Did you check both of them?
Same error?

okay I've got it working past that now not totally sure what happened but i can say that ztool isn't being extracted properly as i have mine packed with it and when i try to use installer it's ending in error when i look in the temp folder when it tries to install only one file from ztool is being extracted that being zlibwapi.dll but not ztool.exe as well.

Use XTool for zlib aka xZLib..

what do you mean ztool is not working?

Can't you compress or Decompress with Ztool?
Tell me. I can help..

[kocchi96x]

decompress it crashes with error -11 saying its corrupt and i know its not cause the older version still works with it and ztool.exe isnt even extracted to the tmp folder with the installer but xtool is and works no error

Edit:
btw i wasnt saying that as its a big problem as xtool seems to work im just saying so KaktoR knows and maybe look into it, it just means i need to repack what i have done with the older version is all.

but i need two things.
1 full script with all the files.
2 the method that you used to create archive

one other thing.
What is your archive name.
That you trying to unpack with Ztool.

I use ultraarc for compression and i used precomp p.zt, lolz, and srep. Also it worked for me with the 7.1.0 version when i followed with what K4miKaZe did on page 24 to get ztools fix on that version. i also did edit some of ultraarc.ini but you should see that when open this archive, also has the name i use for my file name as well as record.ini. Now i know like nothing in coding but i feel only reason its not working with ztools though is cause its for some reason not getting the ztool.exe into the installer and extracting it.

It works just fine. Read my PM



Only thing left that I could think of is that you use the new LOLZ version for compression and use old LOLZ version for installing (they are not compatible).

weird cause i didnt edit the compressor.ini file and also in retrying with same settings i used the same ultraarc you included in the tools folder with same results.

Compile Setup.exe with ZTOOL just work fine for me.

[KaktoR]

Could you send me a small test archive with your exact compress settings used?

[kocchi96x]

Edit:
i sent it in pm instead.

In 711Beta2 after compiling there is a problem with error "Could not call proc"

You have to remove "//" infront of ZTool if you want to use it

If you don't need a compressor just add // infront to disable them.

PS: And I've tested your archive and it installs just fine

PPS: Added BETA 3 to previous post https://fileforums.com/showpost.php?...&postcount=412

Welp i feel dumb now i didnt even notice those // edited that and now it works, anyways thanks and sorry for you having to deal with my stupidity

PS. the new beta i had a problem with useinfo i had to go add

//InfoBefore
#define UseInfo ReadIni(SourcePath + "\Settings.ini", "InfoBefore", "Enable", "")

to Setting.iss for it to work i also added that under license to go with the settings.ini setup of it to
