1.is it possible to use custom fonts you have downloaded from a font site and installed, or was this disabled/removed in latest IC? i tried making an autorun and then when i clicked build it gave an infinite looping 'could not find ringbearer' the lord of the rings font i use for fantasy games then every time i located and clicked the ttf font, it kept saying 'could not find font' and forced me to alt-ctrl-delete and end the app in task manager because i couldnt get out of the looping error message.

2.is it possible to have IC go to a fullscreen installer window when installing, and when its doing the small installer is it possible to full screen the small installer like in the old 2.7 editions of razors IC? i know razor is retired and will not be updating this or any of his projects anymore, just was wondering if anyone could answer these questions. and as always, thanks razor for your projects, graphics studio was a life saver making transparent png images.

hi guys, kitsune here again. for any of you using IC 3.0 and getting the decompression failed -11 error code when using pzlib v3, and the 'crc does not match checksum!' error with zstd, i finally got them to work with IC 3.0, and had a clean install no errors. i am including my full IC 3.0 2800 R2 folder with my updated files, and it doesnt matter what file type you use, i tested both pzlib v3 and zstd on some .ogg files then made a sample setup.exe with it to see what happened and it installed clean, no errors at all during decompression!!!

just extract the attachment to your HD and voila, no more errors!

Thanks, catch you on all the flip side. enjoy making your new installs with pzlib v3 and zstd with IC 3.0, no more annoying crc or decomp failed errors!!

P.S. when adding your .bin files in the external resources section of IC, do -not- forget to select the proper precomp version that you used during compression with UltraArc.
i cannot stress this enough. if you used pzlib/precomp 0.38 when compressing your game in UltraArc, make sure you click on the 'precomp' drop down in IC and select 0.38!! likewise, if you used pzlib 0.42/reflate in UltraArc, make sure you click the dropdown in Installer Creator under external resources and choose 0.42! If you mix the two settings you will always get a decompression failed error during extraction. the 7zip attachment i included has the correct IC 3200 / UA 2800 folder structure and the files for pzlib and zstd properly placed so you wont have to go through the headaches of constant failures during decompression, just make sure you choose the exact same version of pzlib/precomp that you used in UA when compressing your game, otherwise it will not work!! thanks guys, have fun.

@Kitsune1982, Thank you! Your Script.iss also fixed the problem I was having with Install Creator not attaching the icon file to compiled .exe file.

Also, thanks to Razor12911, great installer.
