can you check the Error again Line 40 or 140?

what is your inno setup version ANSI or UNICODE?

i thought

find this line and change this to

type
#ifdef UNICODE
 PChar = PAnsiChar;
#endif

this

#ifdef UNICODE
type
 PChar = PAnsiChar;
#endif

I was getting the exact same error, but I was waiting for someone else to make that question..
Many thanks y_thelastknight!

Thanks @thelastknight,
this solved my problem.


I have a little question to ask again.

I use classical method of compression
i.e. freearc (-m0)>precomp>srep>freearc (-mx) >innosetup.

lets assume my data file is data1.arc (after final -mx compression).

What changes i have to make in archieves.ini for this method of compression.?

Try this assuming your compressed files have the same name "data1"

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 33, ExpandConstant('{src}\data1.arc'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False) then break;
if not ISSRepExtract   ( 0, 33, ExpandConstant('{app}\data1.srep'),ExpandConstant('{app}\data1.arc'), true) then break;
if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 34, ExpandConstant('{app}\data1.arc'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', true, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False) then break;

kostaskaraivalis You missed the Precomp part..

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 25, ExpandConstant('{src}\data1.arc'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False) then break;
if not ISPrecompExtract( 0, 25, ExpandConstant('{app}\data1.pcf'),    ExpandConstant('{app}\data1.srep'), true) then break;
if not ISSRepExtract ( 0, 25, ExpandConstant('{app}\data1.srep'),ExpandConstant('{app}\data1.arc'), true) then break;
if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 25, ExpandConstant('{app}\data1.arc'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', true, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False) then break;

@ y_thelastknight

you and kostaskaraivalis both used different variabales in archieve.ini i.e. 0,25 (your values) and 0,33 (kostaskaraivalis 's value).

what effect those variable (in archieves.ini) make in this file or game compression.?

BTW thanks for your reply.

He said he used only Arc -m0 --> srep --> arc -mx
there is method without using precomp as well.
