I would have never realized I needed the "createvalueifdoesntexist" if you hadn't given me the example.

Hey guys I am Vishal.

I was going through your CI installscript...it is awesome.

but

this script adds and compress files from DVD(original file)...whereas i want to modify your script according to my game repack(external files that i run through "RUN and UNINSTALLRUN"....but was unable to do so.

I can make a basic setup with splash screen...I need my setup to be good looking with minimum possible size...so can you guys help me out?

also can i use ogg vorbis(small size) for music?

please, how to join / merge setup.cab into setup.exe? I've tried internal instalation tutorial but I still don't quite understand

[pakrat2k2]

using CIU you must have
#define Internal ( like it is in BOTH Installerscript / Langscript ISS files.
In Installerscript.iss the ;#define ProgramFiles .... line MUST have the ; in front.

Then the files from Setup.cab MUST be extracted in Setup subfolder. Then files from setup.cab will be included into the setup.exe.

but when i deleted the setup.cab. setup.exe is still looking for the setup.cab
And seems like the game not loaded into the script.

hey m8

compile script first (with #define Internal) and then

run file "Convert_AutorunToDLL.bat".

after running this file you can delete setup.cab.

I've seen the scripts from some installer.
1st installer (tombraider survival) didn't put any registry code

[Registry]

2nd installer (sleeping dog) put one line of registry code

[Registry]
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\{code:GetAppPublisher}\{code:GetAppName} "; ValueName: UninstallString; ValueData: {uninstallexe}; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;

3rd installer (mass effect 3) put many line of registry code on their scripts

[Registry]
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect 3"; ValueName: Install Dir; ValueData: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath}; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect 3"; ValueName: Display Name; ValueData: Mass Effect™ 3 ; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect 3"; ValueName: GDFBinary; ValueData: {app}\Mass Effect 3\GDFBinary_en_US.dll ; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;

etc..

all the script can install and uninstall perfectly.
what is the difference between three of them?
how do i recognize a game which required alot of registry code to be inserted in the script or not at all?
if I don't insert the registry key, then the game wouldn't compatible for the future updates of the game? (like in the first ver. splinter cell blacklist installer)
sorry for my bad english

[pakrat2k2]

some games don't care if they have any registry entries at all. The uninstall entry is only for INNO version, to uninstall properly. ( much like #1 & #2 installers )

Then there is the 3rd type of game which will NOT run at all, or allow any updates to be installed if the proper registry entries are not found.

You need to search thru registry for entries that the particular game your doing, entered any. IF it has you MAY need to copy those types of entries into your INNO script.

Can anyone modify the installerscript?

I don't want to include "include" folder...that means no arc...no 7z...and nothing else....i want to use my custom files.

and also i don't need disk spanning for three disk or more.

I just need 1 disk slice.

can any one modify the script???...i can't do that because everything is related to each other.

i want to make a nice, simple, fast and very effective installer like this:

with extra music on/off button
the function is simple : install game => install support drivers (directx, phsyx dll.) in silent mode.
is it possible? can someone share how to make it?
it would be wonderful. thanks

just change the wizard image...for logo...music button has to be created with [code]

and run files thru batch file

like this

#Soft#\vc80_redist\Vcredist_x86.exe /q:a /c:"msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn /l*v %temp%\vcredist_x86.log" 
#Soft#\DirectX\dxwebsetup.exe

#Soft#\DirectX\dxwebsetup.exe

I hope someone could give the detail tutorial. or maybe the basic template of the script
btw is visual basic program capable to make the same exact installer like these scripts especially yener script?
