Peterf's latest installers are able to compress the game files with several methods, such as FreeArc, PreComp and SRep (And even all of them at same time!) by using IsDone.dll, but these setups has no "source code" avaliable (Almost all of his installers are already pre-compiled). However, you should try his installer for The Witcher 2 done by him. As far as I know (AFAIK), it supports FreeArc and PreComp compression, and has all the pages of this custom installer - Including autorun menu and the System Requirements page. Don't know about SRep or multi-disk support for ARC files, but it's a huge first step, if you wanna know! For reference, you can use Yener90's installer too! He released the sources of his installers, so take a look. Yener's installers are, for saying so, "simple" (No "Syetem requirements" nor "Add to firewall" pages), but true candidates for "Games For Windows" certificated installers due to being easy and intuitive to install, not to mention they're visually nice! I don't remember the kind of compression it supports, but considering some of Yener's custom installers, FreeArc and Multi-disk support for UNCOMPRESSED files should be avaliable. For an additional reference, try this post of mine. Before "going crazy" with "coding hell", it's interesting to note that they are pretty easy to MODIFY to your needings: Just change the parameters of a specific game in Peterf's installer codes (You'll need to search a little in the codes, but it's worthy) or Yener90's INI file provided with the sources. I'm not a programmer, but I know what I need to change in peterf's installer code to "create" a new custom installer. As a last note, for damn powerful autorun menus ONLY (You can actually use it to build a "install-capable" autorun menu, but the "uninstaller" part is up to you...), you should try Autoplay Media Studio. I know it's a paid $oftware, but Indigorose released the "Autoplay Media Studio Personal edition", which is free. The differences between Free and Paid editions are just... "lame" IMHO: Free ed has no support (Go to the Indigorose forums and google; you don't need "support" anyway!), cannot build the autorun .exe file with a custom icon (You can use a separated icon for autorun.inf when needed) and, after closing an autorun menu built with this version, a splash image with the text "Powered by AutoPlay Media Studio Personal Edition" will appear. You see, no big deal, the rest is all the same. Last edited by KillerOh; 16-09-2011 at 15:03. |
