Conversion Designer/Installer Creator

As for learning, I myself re-created REV0's conversion 'exactly' the same except for a few changes, I didn't use the music he used, I instead preferred the original music which accompanied the original game installer. I also fixed some the sloppy details like the buttons on the first screen not having the same pixel count between each button. I re-created it as my own learning experiment as REV0 tends to use all elements of CIU2. I had requested REV0 via his own Wolfenstein thread if he could do a separate Setup.exe to suit 6xDVD9, I even supplied the file list for him, but he didn't bother responding so I did it myself.

P.S: I currently have Wolfenstein installed and renamed registry entries to enable me to take the screenshots, however I wasn't about to actually install the game again just to be able to take the rest of the screenshots of the game installing, but they are exactly the same pics which REV0 used, these pics are easily found on the net and are a 'simple cut and paste' procedure, there is nothing hard about any of it if you just give it a go yourself.

Apologies for the large screenshots above, will resize them later, don't have time to do them at the moment.

Sorry Thinkbig, I think I have worked out why you think I was being funny, I have just re-read what I wrote above and I believe my wording has mislead you, what I should have said was ....

"what exactly were you hoping to 'extract' from the Setup.exe"

I think that would have been clearer to you.

I just want to check the buttons he used and the codings in a readme file or in a notepad and also how he used the music equalizer with close and minimize option altogether. There is no pdf or proper instructions with screenshot available to learn how to use yener90's CIU V2. Evern CIU V2 is also not available.

You can just google for ISUnpacker.
Or just go to temp directory and look for files extracted by setup when running, the inno setup files are packed in folders that start with is-....
You cannot use ISunpacker if Inno Setup Enhanced edition was used to compilation.
You also cannot get images from temp if botva2 protect library was used.

to get all 3 buttons together he just uses same position ( top ) but then just spaces them together.
say the width is 20 ( all just an example )

equalizer would start top=500, left=500, then minimize top=500, left=525 ( first button + space+width of button ), last close top=500, left=550. ( second button + spsce + width of button ) ...

Top position depends on the size of the image of course...

hope this helps ?

Firstly, I can not give you CIU2, yener does not want it freely shared to the public. I made a promise to yener that I would not share it and I intend to stick to that promise. Sorry.

As for the Exit, Minimize and Equalizer all appearing to sit in the same rectangle box, well that is just an illusion. There is a simple way of tricking people to make it look like it is one button which does 3 different things.
The rectangle box they sit in is part of the background pic, See the pic below.
It is just a transparent image sitting on top of the background image. The 2 buttons and equalizers co-ordinances are configured so they sit inside that rectangle.

The Language box (the flags box) on the first image in my previous posts with the screenshots is done the same way, again its just a transparent box sitting on top of the background image, its all part of the same pic.

Hi Razor, hope your exams are finished and you did well. Now it is time for Installer Creator to be sorted and also create a new Installer Creator which will the best of all time. We know you can do it.

Working on Installer Creator v2.9

Installer Creator project has reached 150 thanks'
Thank you guys.

BTW English experts, what is the plural form for thanks, or it doesn't exist? How are about fish, will it be fishes?

[Razor12911]

Guys. I decided to start another project, I noticed that Installer Creator has a lot of bugs and some of them are kinda difficult to fix.
I have let you guys down but I will make it up to you guys, I will create something better than Installer Creator within a short period of time, maybe a week.
A fresh start is needed. Advanced Setup Creator will take over from here.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

[hydefromt70s]

Sad to hear that, but we keep our fingers crossed for a new, better project!

Please don't stop to cure Installer Creator 2.8

[Razor12911]

I will give you a full brief why this program cannot continue. I will send you a PM when I have time.

[Razor12911]

Yes.....

I am so excited, the program might continue, sorry guys but it is just that, XE3 failed to start, on whatever PC I used, with or without update, same problem and that prevented me to continue with Installer Creator, XE4, XE2 didn't work although they are very similar to XE3 but I finally got rid of the Access Violation error on start up of the program, I also managed to make both of the programs work if installed together.

And sorry guys especially thinkbigearnbig and thanks jamel2013 for helping me fix this problem.

[thinkbigearnbig]

It means you will be able to fix the Installer Creator 2.8 now?
