ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[KaktoR]

You have two choices:
1. Rename Setup.dll (which DSG creates) to Setup.arc and extract the file into DECOMPRESSOR folder with FreeArc.
2. In DiskSpan_GUI folder, go to "Resources\INSTALLER" and pick the files you need and copy them to DECOMPRESSOR folder.

For the second choice you have to pay attention to some things:
1. If you used precompressors like XTool, you have to create a folder with the same name in DECOMPRESSOR folder like the precompressor you used.
2. ARC_*.ini and CLS_*.ini are required in any case.

In your methods srep+msc and srep+lolz you have to copy the following files:
"Resources\INSTALLER\ARC\*" (all files here)
"Resources\INSTALLER\LOLZ\*" (all files)
"Resources\INSTALLER\MSC\CLS-MSC_TAK.dll"
"Resources\INSTALLER\SREP\CLS-SREP_NEW*.*"

However I recommend to follow the first choice, as it is the simpliest way.

I agree with the 1st choice, I renamed it to .arc but how do I extract it? How do I use FreeArc? When I open Arc.exe it just closes. Sorry for stupid questions, I'm a newbie

If you are using DiskSpan GUI to compress and want to create Setup.dll before compression you can use the TOOLS button, "Setup DLL" tab.
Choose the "MAKE" subtab and paste a method line on each line of the memo and click "Make DLL".
If you are in doubt about the method lines used, you can generate them by searching for the method in another instance of DiskSpan GUI or in DSG_Settings.ini in the "Resources" folder (if you have already configured your methods in Developer mode).

It worked! Thank you!
So in this case I don't have to put stock Setup.dll from DSG into DECOMPRESSOR when doing final Setup.dll? Only put decompressed files from .dll and records.ini, right?

you will only need to merge records.ini.
For that you can use the "Records" tab in the same tool tab group as the DSG.
