For example, if i click on left-bottom corner of the setup screen where is there my logo, setup will say "Aboutform.png not found." or if i click on cancel button while installing it will say "Aboutexit.png not found."

But, these png files are exist in the BlackBox v2's folder.

My second question:
------------------------

Slideshow section and video section don't work in/on my BlackBox v2. These sections/buttons are grayed out and i can't click on them.

How do i fix these issues?

i am using below code to compress files :-



and below arc.ini file :-



Kindly help me to upgrade my arc.ini file so that it not show that "precomp.exe has stopped working".

Please solve my all doubts. i just meed compression and extraction tutorial :'(

what are you doing in arc.ini? since you dont know what you do, dont touch it

main icon: startgame.exe (used for shortcuts, this is in the main game folder, you can also say binaries/win32/startgame.exe this is how the structure works.

same with the second box, just to set more shortcuts

the compressionmethods are used for internal compression. how the setup.exe compresses the files you set in "primary directory".

primary and secondary directory are the pathes to the game you want to compress internaly. for example: C:\programs\mygamesucks

archive: press the add button to get a new row. fill in infos about external packed archives so the setup knows how to handle them.
Method: freearc/7zip/rar (the algorythm used to compress the files, so it can unpack them)
archivename: archivesucks.arc (just the name, so it can find the file to unpack it)
outputdir: just press the "..." button
component: see components later down
disk: sets on which (if any) disk the file can be found
password: if any got set for an archive, put it in
precompversion: precomp version used to pack the files.


components: a component is a subtopic in the installer.
lets say you put a game, soundtrack and an editor in your setup.
then you set each of them a component, so the user can decide which he wants to install.
another example: you know setups filled with chrome toolbars and ask toolbars. they are a component too, which the user can install, but must not.

to get components, click the add button and type a name for the component.
the components are counted in order they were created. means the top one is 1, the last one (if we make three) is number 3.
this numbers must (if set) be put in the archive-tab, to make an archive part of this component.
