[CIUv3] Custom Installer Ultimate v3

[Cesar82]

I upgraded my Inno Setup Repack to v6.03 (The link contain Lite e Full version).
To install skins packs extract SkinPack.rar from the same Inno Setup Repack FULL installer directory.

Hi ppl,

is there a constant for Users\Username\Saved Games ? I want to delete a folder in Saved Games but to no avail. I can't find that constant on the net.

I tried:

{Userprofile}\Saved Games
{%Userprofile%}\Saved Games
%Userprofile%\Saved Games
{Username}\Saved Games

Edit: The only way is writing down the full path in Setup.ini which is SaveGameFolder3=C:\Users\*****\Saved Games\

Not a very happy solution. I can't believe that the Inno Setup developer didn't include such constant.

There is no native constant in Inno Setup for the "Saved Games" folder.
You can use something like this:

function UpdateConstant(const S: String): String;
var
  strDocs: String;
  strSaves: String;
begin
  Result := ExpandConstantEx(S, 'savedgames', ExpandConstant('{userdocs}\My Games'));
  if (GetWindowsVersion shr 24 >= 6) and (Result = ExpandConstant('{userdocs}\My Games')) then
  begin
    RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{F42EE2D3-909F-4907-8871-4C22FC0BF756}', 'RelativePath', strDocs);
    RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{4C5C32FF-BB9D-43b0-B5B4-2D72E54EAAA4}', 'RelativePath', strSaves);
    StringChangeEx(Result, '\' + strDocs + '\My Games', '\' + strSaves, True);
  end;
end;

This function also expands the other constants normally:
>> MsgBox(UpdateConstant('{userdocs}'), mbInformation, MB_OK); {expands normally}
>> MsgBox(UpdateConstant('{savedgames}'), mbInformation, MB_OK);

Remembering that CIU already has an UpdateConstant function.
If it is to be used in the CIU script, change the function name such as UpdateConstant2.

Thanks, but where should I "squeeze" these lines in the script coz the compiler gives me an error... UpdateConstant is duplicate.

Change the name of the function and call the function using the new name.
Where do you want to use this constant savegames?
In which part of the script?

Man, you're confusing me. I'm not a inno-script pro !

Well, during the uninstalling process. I want a folder, created by the game, vanish from Saved Games folder. Btw, I'm using Win7 and the path is:

C:\Users\My Name\Saved Games\Metro Exodus

Sorry I know, I'm a pain in da ass. I suffer from perfectionism OCD, btw. It's nasty

Edit: I sorted it out in Setup.ini --> SaveGameFolder3=C:\Users\{username}\Saved Games\Metro Exodus ...aaaand the folder is gonsky ! I'm happy with it. Well, the only problem is
where Metro Exodus dumps this save game folder in Win10.

@Cesar m8, your priority is to fix the registry issue !

Btw, Metro Exodus creats 3 folders and 2 registry entries during the first launch:

1. My Documents --> 4A Games
2. Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming --> CPY_Saves (ermmm...cough)
3. Users\Username\Saved Games --> Metro Exodus

Registry:

1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\4A-Games
2. HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1998757662-2675839664-690416582-1000\Software\4A-Games

2. HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1998757662-2675839664-690416582-1000\Software\4A-Games

The registry entries for work well for me.

To remove the save folder inside the Saved Games folder using the key SaveGameFolder#= use {sd} to set a system drive:
SaveGameFolder3={sd}\Users\{username}\Saved Games\Metro Exodus

I will include a constant {savedgames} in the next CIU update.
If you want to change it in the current CIU script the text in red color.

function GetSavedGameFolder: String;
begin
  Result := ExpandConstant('{userdocs}\My Games');
  RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders', '{4C5C32FF-BB9D-43B0-B5B4-2D72E54EAAA4}', Result);
end;

function UpdateConstant(Current: String) : String;
begin
  Result := Current;
  if UninstallMode then
    StringChangeEx(Result, '{app}', UninstallPath, True)
  else
    StringChangeEx(Result, '{app}', WizardForm.DirEdit.Text, True);
  StringChangeEx(Result, '{savedgames}', GetSavedGameFolder, True);
  StringChangeEx(Result, '{win}', ExpandConstant('{win}'), True);
  StringChangeEx(Result, '{sys}', ExpandConstant('{sys}'), True);
  ...///The code goes on...

After code changed, use SaveGameFolder3={savedgames}\Metro Exodus
