ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[wareck]

ok I found
it's in tpExec function

[insertdisc]

Am I missing something simple? I everything working as intended, including custom font, messages, images, etc.,. .. what do I need to change to get the estimated uninstall size to work? It's only showing 1KB.

Thanks for all your hard work by the way. You made things fairly simple.

[wareck]

you have to decompress setup.dll
copy record.ini
into the builder
the remove them from your install foder

if you have setup.dll, no progress bar/time

[wareck]

For add text durring batch execution :

in DSG_MODULE.ISS
I moddify the tpExec function like this:

tpExec :
begin
WizardForm.FilenameLabel.Caption := ExpandConstant('{cm:BatchExecution}');
ShellExec('open', DSG_ExpandConstantTry(Arcs[I].Source, 1), DSG_ExpandConstantTry(Arcs[I].Output, 1), '', SW_HIDE, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode);
end;

and during decompression, if a batch run, the message in script.iss is showed

Maybe you misunderstood. The progress bar is working just fine. The registry entry for the game install is never set. Not using components, not using compact mode. 'Installed size' is listed at 1kb in programs.

Edit: I thought you were replying to my post. My mistake.

you have to enable these settings in the Settings.ini

CompactMode=1

[ComponentsSettings]
Enable=1

Name=MMPR Ritas Rewind

Maybe you could help me with another problem that just popped up.

I'm using DSG and including the checksum files; just not sure what I'm doing wrong here...

Setup.dll contains the files needed by the installer to unpack your game, and Records.ini contains the compressed file information needed to unpack it.

You can include these files, but to do so you must use the DSG tools by clicking on the TOOLS button and then on the "Setup DLL" tab.
You must unpack Setup.dll and place all the unpacked contents of Setup.dll and Records.ini in a folder named "Setup_DLL" next to the installer script and recompile the script.

and did you read the helpfiles from helpfolder there is all information about the Installer for DSG is also an helpfile
