i also attached a pic showing my files for that test trial.


[InstallOptions]
ApplicationName=isuka
Publisher=smc
GameSize=5600
MyExecutableName=ggdx.exe
MyExecutablePath=
Editor=yener90
PrecompVer=0.42
Lang=en


[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;PrecSre p:1




i use following command line for creatin data.cab

arc a -m0 data.arc "c:\"

precomp.exe data.arc

srep.exe -m3 data.pcf

arc a -m0 data.cab data.pcf.srep
pause


( i dont have any arc.ini in setup.cab) ( i extract the setup.cab and found no arc.ini)

please help me.

which script are you using? ( Version # IE 8574, 1006 .... )
read first post ( section on setup.ini ) it specifically lists what you need to do when using extreme compression... arc m0 / precomp / srep / arc.

The command you used last:
arc a -m0 data.cab data.pcf.srep
pause

should be arc a -m# ( 0 = no compression, you could use 1-9 for better compression of final file.) data.cab data.srep ( you have data.pcf.srep ) once srep is finished packing the precomp output file it should end in srep extension.

i am using CI script 1.0.0.6
i follow ur instructions
and modified my command lines as follows

arc a -m0 data.cab "c:\*"
precomp.exe data.arc
srep.exe -m3 data.pcf data.srep
arc a -m5 data.cab data.srep
pause

PrecompVer=inside
Lang=en

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;PrecSre p:1


now it gives me two errors
see the attached pics.

PrecompVer=inside
into

Set precomp version

error

arc a -m0 data.cab "c:\*"
precomp.exe data.arc
srep.exe -m3 data.pcf data.srep
arc a -m5 data.cab data.srep

for best compression

do this

srep -m3f

final arc method must be -mx

Following error occur during installation
1) freearc+srep+freearc
2) freearc+precomp+srep+freearc

srep -m3f

it finally works for me.

here is what i did..
compressions method
arc a -m0 data.arc "C:\Program Files\*"
precomp.exe -c- data.arc
srep.exe -m3f data.pcf data.srep
arc a -mx data.cab data.srep

precompver=0.42

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;PrecSre p:1

i put the arc.ini in setup.cab (i modified arc.ini a little according to the method i used above).



no error this time.
i tried two times with full success.

Thanks for ur help Razor 12911
