How to edit the appearance of a FreeArc sfx archive?

[pakrat2k2]

if you want subdirectories then change to this

Filename: {src}\DATA.exe; Parameters: "-x -d""{app}\xyz\"" -y -s2";

where \xyz\ is the subfolder

I get an error decompression with this line

But the subfolders problems can be solved compressing in your sfx multiple folders at the root folder of the game

compiling the ISS script generates compile error saying mismatched "...

correct format is:

Filename: {src}xyz.arc; Parameters: "-x -d ""{app}""\subdir -y -s2"; WorkingDir: {app}\subdir; StatusMsg: Extracting Freearc Archive...

this is of course in the [ RUN ] section of the ISS script.

EDIT: Also need to have

#define Archives "{src}\xyz.arc;DestDir:{app}\xyz;Disk:#"  #-can be 1-whatever ( however many disks you end up with.)

IF using Multiple archives / disks then you need more #define statements.

#define Archives "{src}\1.arc;DestDir:{app}\;Disk:1"
#define Archives Archives + "|" + "{src}\2.arc;DestDir:{app};Disk:2"
#define Archives Archives + "|" + "{src}\3.arc;DestDir:{app};Disk:3"
#define Archives Archives + "|" + "{src}\4.arc;DestDir:{app};Disk:4"

hope this helps
