ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[KaktoR]

Yes and I told you "good luck"

You have to figure out on your own, no support from me.

hello, I'm not going to pollute your topic just to say that I'm progressing little by little. I have to find how to move the text to the left... thank you for your fabulous installer. I use it for all my repacks.

how can i add a password to a compressed file for the installer to install this file normally

[KaktoR]

Set password in Records.ini

[Record#]
...
...
Password=Your password

Include records.ini in Setup.dll and set a password for Setup.dll
Set password for Setup.dll in script.iss

#define PasswordDLL "Your password"

However full encryption is not possible this way. People can still read the password from %temp% folder. You have to use a custom arc.exe to fully encrypt the files (this requires some script editing I guess, not sure).

[Masquerade]

If you use ProFrager's FAProtect to generate custom FreeArc binaries so others cannot open them, all you'd need to do is swap the unarc.dll from the ASIS package with your custom generated unarc.dll to decompress the archives.

This does not encrypt the archives per-se, because if you open them with a hex editor you will still be able to see magic numbers of compressors that you used when making the archive, so you will be easily be able to tell at LEAST the final compressor used if not more. That is, unless, you add encryption to the archive in FA cmdline which I have no idea about. It'll probably just slow unpacking down. If all you want to do is stop people from easily looking at what your methods are, just use FAProtect. Then only skilled people will know

Hello again!
I did everything just as you told me in another thread about how to combine Setup.dll and Records.ini into one Setup.exe file, but now I have an error after clicking on install.

But this error does not happen when installing with Setup.dll and Records.ini being present in the folder, it installed game and it worked. (https://imgur.com/a/yHQKAB0)
But when using only Setup.exe with those .dll and .ini merged altogether into setup it says that method is unsupported, but it then why it worked and installed with those files being present? How to fix that? I want to only data and exe files to be present in the folder.
I used these settings in DiskSpan when compressing: https://imgur.com/a/5MPStJb

Also, why after compressing I got a normal Data01.bin file and weird Data02.bin.001 fie? And these files are in one DISK folder. It should've split them in DISK1 and DISK2 and they should've been Data01.bin and Data02.bin, isn't it?

Please check my settings, if I did something wrong so it crashes tell me what to fix please, I'd appreciate your help

Use names Data1-01.bin to Data1 e Data2-01.bin to Data2 to hide .001 extension

Okay, thanks. Also, can I rename them to something like Data01 or etc. afterwards? Also with changing it in Records.ini? Will it break the installation?

As KaktoR has already answered, the Span mode (CLS-DiskSpan.dll) requires the original creation data naming.
After kaktoR's comment, I remembered that you can use Data1.bin, Data2.bin, Data3.bin, but when compressing you must choose the UNLIMITED tab (Do not check the customization checkboxes). This way the CLS-DiskSpan.dll library will not be used so it will allow names Data1.bin, Data2.bin, etc.


INFO: Currently the "SPLIT" mode allows you to change the name in the Records.ini file, but in the next version of DiskSpan GUI the SplitLib.dll library that is used to split and merge the files will be updated and will probably require original names generated in the creation of the split file.

In case the project is continued at some point: I discovered another small bug that is reproducible if you use the “Compact”-Mode (Settings.ini), the “UpdateMode” is set to “1” (Settings.ini) and have CRC-Check selected (Installer).

The button that should say “Exit” is not visible, because it is mostly covered by the button with the question mark.

Despite the project being closed, but as it is a bug fix and not design changes, I will share a fix with you.

I can only thank you very much for your commitment!
