Advanced Setup Creator

[Razor12911]

Yup, that's it, I'm removing some features related to hardware from asc, the origination of the problem has been confirmed because I ran the same program yesterday and it worked on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10.
Things that will be removed or affected:
CPU Boost speed detection will be removed.
RAM Size will be inaccurate.
RAM Speed will be removed.
GPU Speed will be removed.

And all those people with GPU Size Greater than 2GB, please run regedit. Goto HKLM\SYSTEM\CONTROLSET001\CONTROL\CLASS
From there (CTRL+F) search for HardwareInformation.AdapterString
after getting that, in the same key, look out for HardwareInformation.MemorySize and HardwareInformation.qwMemorySize, tell me the value(data) and type being written.

Interface feels similar to Smart Install Maker, which I liked greatly.
However I feel completely lost once I am in Configuration > Installation > Installer. Like do I want to extract or compress?? Am I making a queue for asc to compress the setup contents, then to extract them once the installer is run??
I feel like a noob lol, probably having trouble because I am used the much easier to use Smart Install Maker.

Also which compression settings would be best for a machine with only 8gb of ram?

Here you go good sir, I hope this helps.
This is for a 4gb GPU btw, not sure if it makes a difference, but from what I understand the 4gb is split into two partitions, one 3.5gb and a 500mb partition. Though I don't think the registry values were affected by this.

thank you so much, been waiting for at least a response for exactly a month now, I will use this to fix the bug I've been having all this time.

Lol either everyone was too lazy to do it, didn't have a gpu with over 2gb of vram, or it was too hard for them. I'm glad I could help though

Also would someone mind dropping one of their saved projects (*.asc)? I'm having trouble with some of the configurations, so I figured I could learn by example.

BTW @Razor12911 why don't you post this up on some sort of download site like fosshub or sourceforge, or if it's not opensource, maybe something like softpedia? I think your user base would grow nicely if you did. Also what are your thought on redistribution of ASC?

Well I could but been busy lately but everything is clearing up, will be free as from the 2nd of November. About distribution, I thought of distributing the program in various sites but it's not ready, still has a couple of bugs here and there but at least I found a couple of people who have been helping this past month with the project. About projects, I made a couple of templates but asc just keeps messing up with the encryption and locking me out and trying to hack AES-256 with passwords at random and 36 characters long is impossible in this lifetime, so I always have to start all over but I fixed that problem now. So far with projects, the uploaded version is quite buggy that even when saving your project is like flipping a coin, if it lands on the wrong side then everything lost without saving.

Anyways, here's another test.

if using Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, please switch off Windows Defender, it offends ASC. After running the exe, head over to System requirements then start clicking according the uploaded picture.

Thanks in advance.

Everything works fine. Windows 10 x64

Going to give this a try tomorrow morning. Also running from win 10 x64.

Your work so far already is great BTW, so I'm not complaining about what pace you work at xD. I used to develop stuff for android and it was hard managing those projects between work so I don't blame you xD.

Lol I actually had a good laugh when I read this because I had a few cryptanalysis courses not long ago, I understand your pain all too well since I had a crazy Russian professor with a PhD in reverse engineering. His motto was "google it"..

What do you think about implementing a simple redundancy check? I know that it isn't all too hard to implement a quick crc32 check for the archive through script (or one to check the extracted files after extraction) but I figured it would be a nice feature since these days files over the net tend to get either corrupted or " modified" by third parties with intentions anything but good.

PS the screenshots you had of the installer you had with the tiles looked really cool.

OK I could be tottaly wrong here so take this with a grain of salt.

I believe it might be showing up as 3 since those amd bulldozer/piledriver CPUs are using CMT(a cluster multi threading architecture). So while technically you have "6 cores" those cores are in "clusters" of 2, I think the less misleading way to describe the said CPU is as a "triple module" CPU as it has 3 modules of 2 cores.

While amd got good parallel processing results like this, their FX series paled in comparison to Intel's offering (SMT based, also some have their hyperthreading technology, 2 threads per core) because those bulldozer/piledriver CPUs had poor single thread performance.

Well I'm a big fan of amd so I think will make a good comeback with their next architecture since they probably learned a lot since then (they've been working on it since before piledriver and are switching back to smt!). Btw sorry if I went a little off topic, this kind of stuff is like a hobby to me (and maybe some of you guys too xD!)

However I'm not sure how this shows up in the registry, if system cores is being fetched from registry it might be fetching the number of modules instead. I hope I was at least somewhat helpful here, though I might of been getting at nothing in the end lol.
