Hi, thanks for this great tool

any chance this supports mid-install registry edits ?

ie, for when a game needs specific registry entries

Normally registry operations are made post-install. I guess this makes the most sense.

However it is possible to made them mid-install but you have to edit the script, especially the part where extraction takes place.

The game must be compressed using DSG, and you cannot place anything inside the Setup_DLL folder other than the decompressors needed to extract the .bin files.

can't install

https://gifyu.com/image/bWhhX
I created the `setup.exe` after compression by following these steps:

1. after DSG compression > Tools > SetupDll > Unpack`.
2. I copied the `setup_dll` folder from the DSG folder and `records.ini` from the output folder, then pasted them into the ASIS `setup_dll` folder.
3. I copied `setup.dll` from the DSG conversion output and pasted it into ASIS.
4. Finally, I compiled everything using ASIS to generate the `setup.exe`.

However, when I placed only `data1a-01.bin` and the generated `setup.exe` in a new folder and tried to install the application, the installation failed with an error.

Interestingly, when I also placed `records.ini` and `setup.dll` in that same folder, the installation worked correctly.

My goal is to make the installer work with only `data1a-01.bin` and `setup.exe`, without requiring the separate `records.ini` and `setup.dll` files. because i already set them when i was making the setup.exe ( i might be wrong please correct me )

How can I resolve this issue?

It has to be like this
Code:
Script.iss
Setup_DLL\..
25.10.2026  22:04    <DIR>          .
25.10.2026  22:04    <DIR>          ..
25.10.2026  17:41             7.013 ARC_Optimal.ini
25.10.2026  17:41             7.026 ARC_Standard.ini
25.10.2026  22:03               144 Records.ini
25.10.2026  22:03    <DIR>          XTool_2020

https://gifyu.com/image/bWhRA ( from asis setup_dll )
https://gifyu.com/image/bWhRy ( from asis folder )
