Tutorial using CI 8.0.0

[Newbie]

Thanks yener, somehow I missed that

Also, how do I convert to srep....

I need to move file over srep.exe, right or.....

A lot of THANKS to BAMsE.

I understand a lot now about compression.

But I'm sure I will have more questions

Cheers

EDIT:

When I try to compress pcf with srep I get .pcf.srep extension....What now, that is not good, right.

Is there any way to make a button on a autorun menu to browse a custom made folder (named Extras for example) on the disc? I like to put some extra stuff (soundtracks, wallpapers, etc.) on my custom made discs so it would be nice to be able to access them through autorun menu instead of going to the disc. Thanks in advance, yener

Yes, not good. At all steps the filename should be the same, only extension should be different. Just rename output file to match the mentioned syntax. But... why do you want to use old precsrep method when CI supports merged (one step) precsrep? All you need you'll find here

NamelessOne good idea

Thank You again.

I've forgot to read that thread, maybe I was lazy because there is 60 pages, but will find time to read it For sure.

Thanks again, if I have another question will ask again, But will read first.

Regards

EDIT:

Forget to ask, it says that I need to put files......in one folder in setup.cab....

Name of that folder doesn't matter or I need to put it inside setup folder or what.

And about OUTPUT_ARCHIVE_NAME - it should be Data.cab, am I right....

Put them all together, no matter where, these files are needed to prepare strong compressed (precomp+srep+arc) archives. OUTPUT_ARCHIVE_NAME can be any string and it will be name of created archive. Just remember to edit setup.ini and add its name to [ExtractSettings] section

kassane just point to file you want to convert, use Bink it! button and set desirable options like %, width and height of output file

Compressing an error occurred during the installation! What's the problem?

Compressing what? Or maybe uncompressing? What method of compress? Files version?
