This is the bug i'm talking about. It's still here, in your latest CIU.

I've seen something related. If my installer is around 50mb large, this bug doesnt apply. But if my installer is over 100mb, installer it's taking around 30 seconds to start. Also, if my installer is over 2gb, the installer doesnt work at all, "Not responding".

Looking at my harddrive led activity, it's looking like he's doing some decompression whatsoever, i blame this for the above problems.

All these happens only with Internal Integration with/without Internal Compression.
i believe the inno setup installer itself cant manage such big files.
dont know if i can fix this.

Thanks.
this can be fixable.
i need to integrate it to Setup.cab Cryptor, to not show any files.
currently im busy with my study, dont have much time to integrate anything.

If i compile the same project with simple inno setup scripts, it's working, even with projects over 6gb.. so, i believe it's not an inno setup issue.

If you'd do that, then i won't need the above "bug" fixed. The only reason i want one of those two "bugs" fixed, it's because i want to protect my work.

Thanks for your fast reply

Well, i've worked last night and i've managed to improve my protection by making setup.cab not showing files by encrypting the filenames inside the archive.

Also, i've managed to modify the script to include some checks related to setup.ini's integrity. For example, if you change the editor's name in settings.ini, the installer won't start, giving you an explicit message.

One more problem i need to solve, that is, removing the password field inside settings.ini and adding this field into the ISS source for improved protection. I've searched the CIU source for something related to that password field, but found nothing so far.

Any input yener?

Thanks.

This one looks a good feature, but it can be bypassed by editing author's name in iss instead, IMO.

Since u are doing great job providing ur source,so here is a suggestion if u like...

Any possibility of adding pause compilation,resume compilation[after i hibernate my pc] or like the files which are done once should not be done again if process fails and then the compiler leaves those files as they are and jump to another without deleting them[cause everytime the whole process had to be done from beginning]

These suggestions are for CIU.....

Here, for me, also doesn't appear. Only appear in start menu and in the game folder.
Tested with CIU 1.0.0.2 and CIU 1.0.0.3.

However, in some people's PC normally appear. LOL

Just an FYI, to those using CIU / CI any version.... You MUST generate a NEW game GUID for each and every game. Its NOT an issue when you have only 1 game installed at a time but DOES become an issue IF you have multiple games installed at a time.

Just goto Tools, Generate GUID, and it will create a new guid for that conversion. Make having multiple games installed on OS, not have an issue uninstalling the wrong game or having uninstall information incorrect. ( having multples of one game in uninstall programs or showing farcry 3 when its actually AC3 thats being uninstalled )

May need to post this in first post if not already there, i didnt find it.

not a fix, just an error on everyone's part using same productcode for every game. instead in inno, goto tools, generate GUID. put the new generated GUID for that conversion, into the define productcode line. then they wont be the same for every game/conversion.

its not really an error, just a featue^^
this code adds installshield registry values.
for this you need installshield code & edit the values in the codes.
-> this feature should fix problem if you update the game.
