An excerpt of your code with a small explanation on what some of the code does would be great

Thanks

take a look in setup.ini and you find it example here

[SystemRequirement]
// Win7 = 611, Win8 = 621, Win8.1 = 631, Win10 = 1000
Enable=1
Processor=3200
VideoRAM=4000
RAM=8000
OS=611
DirectX=11
HWSectionLabelColor=$808080
HWOkLabelColor=$357EC7
HWNotOkLabelColor=$ff0000
HWGoodLabelColor=$36ff00
HWPartiallyGoodLabelColor=$ff8400
HWNotGoodLabelColor=$ff0000

Do i need a type of setup.ini to have it work or do you mean that the code in the setup.ini is enough to add into the inno script to get it to check for the requirements?

[KaktoR]

In script.iss search for

procedure SystemReq();

I used functions from ISSysInfo.dll from peterf1999.

I can't explain all of this to you.

Some example from the code

if (GetCpuMaxClockSpeed) < Processor then begin
    CPUNameLabel.Font.Color := ColorConverter(GetValInt('SystemRequirement', 'HWNotOkLabelColor', 0));
    CPUNameLabel.Caption := 'CPU: '+IntToStr(GetCpuMaxClockSpeed)+' MHz,' + (ExpandConstant('  {cm:DirectXNeeded} ')) + '{#Processor}'+' MHz';
  end;

GetCpuMaxClockSpeed
Get max clock speed of your CPU. You find it by default in ISSysInfo.iss

Processor variable takes info from {#Processor} ISPP (which you can find in Settings.iss, which reads input directly from Settings.ini).
So if detected CPU max clock speed is lower (<) then Settings.ini input, label (HWNotOkLabelColor) is in red color (default). In fact you can change the color of HWNotOkLabelColor label in Settings.ini (this is also a ISPP). The ColorConverter only change color codes from BGR (Blue, Green, Red) to RGB (Red, Green, Blue). Inno's standard is BGR, which I find not really good.

CPUNameLabel.Caption is just the label for CPU.

'CPU: '+IntToStr(GetCpuMaxClockSpeed)+' MHz,'

However you have to convert the CPU MHZ number from integer to string (IntToStr) to display MHZ correctly.

(ExpandConstant('  {cm:DirectXNeeded} '))

Don't get confused here. This is just a custom message for the word "Required", but I was too lazy to change it to something more accurate lol.

'{#Processor}'+' MHz'

Display your input in Settings.ini for Processor= and add MHz after this.


Most of the other parts from the 'procedure SystemReq' are just variables or text/labels/fancy stuff which is not really needed but it looks better

I always tried to made the scripts as clear as possible to give a fast overview, eventough everybody works a bit different and has a bit different characteristics.

Alright thanks for the insightful reply!

I've downloaded the .dll and will be trying to see if i can get it to work for me. Hope you don't mind if I pm you or reply later for help if I'm having some issues with it

Thanks again.

Could you add the second progress bar for file percentage? Like fitgirl 2016 do?

I edit the asis installer decompressor and add many compressors to UltraARC 2900 R6 FULL and some app

link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1N8...3_u1SXMxuPZWJp (232 MB rar file)

I'm experiencing a crash of the installer when trying to decompress an archive packed with only oggre.

OGGRE is enabled inside Compressor.ini.

Whenever the installer runs, it instantly crashes (and closes) after pressing "Install" with no error message.

Extra Info:

• ASIS 7.1.3 in compact mode
• OGGRE_enc.exe v.0.1.1 used for compression
• Pack Command used in arc.ini:
  

  [External compressor:oggre]
  header = 0
  packcmd = OGGRE\OGGRE_enc.exe $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

I don't get it, I tried throwing 12 random ogg files into my compressor, and the installer decompressed them fine, I don't see why a 750-800mb archive should be any different...

Any help is appreciated.

I will update this mesage if I fix the issue.

Try UltraArc to compress, edit FA.ini for the 'Pack Command'

1. 2 shortcut (lets say PES game. i want to make "Game.exe" and "Settings.exe" shortcut) possible
2. can i assign .cmd or .bat file with some icon (so after i install the game/program. CMD/Bat file will have their own independent icon. rather than stock windows icon)

any reply is really appriciated..

Thanks for reading and maybe helping my request..
(sorry for my bad english. english isnt my mother/first language)

Love from indonesia..

^_^

*edit

1.
Not by default. You have to do this manually.

Go to

Resources\Modules\External\Icons.iss

and add a second shortcut there.

Maybe I will add something in future.


2.
In same file as above.

You have to use

IconFilename: "{app}\Icon.ico"

Not sure if it works tough.

Maybe I'm a little late, but you can use this program to covert your batch files to an EXE format, where then you can add an icon using the program or Resource Hacker.

Please note that in an EXE format, your batch files cannot be read/edited, so make sure everything works before you choose to share it with others.
