Tutorial using CI 8.0.0

[KaktoR]

Hi

I have a little problem with my setup.

Everytime when the install sequence is finished (or Data3.pcf is unpacked, im not sure), i got this error

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1
FreeArcFile2={src}\Data2.cab;DestDir:{app}\Data;Di sk:1
FreeArcFile3={src}\Data3.cab;DestDir:{app}\Data;Di sk:1;PrecSrep:1

For Data3.cab i made the following steps

-4 Files archived in Data3.arc with no compression (just save with freearc)
-Used precomp 038 to pre-compress Data3.arc to Data3.pcf
-Then srep to compress the pcf file to srep file
-After this i used freearc to compress the srep file (-mx -ld800m)

I have also used the newest versions of precomp/srep but the same problem.

Any solutions ?

in the setup.ini you need to specify which version of precomp you used.

[InstallOptions]
ApplicationName=Gmename
Publisher=publisher name
MyExecutableName=game.exe
MyExecutablePath=
SaveGameFolder=
GameSize=9646
Lang=de,en,es,fr,it,pl,pr,ru
LangUI=0
PrecompVer=038

Hi pratak!

Well, PrecompVer=038 dont work, but PrecompVer=0.38 with the dot works fine now.

Realy strange.

Thanks anyway

Hi Yener90, thanks for the great job!
I've a little (big for me ) problem and I ask your help! (sorry for my bad english, I'll try to explain it simpler as possible)
I'm trying to make my own custom installer, reading and studying your CI 8.4.1 ... I've start with a simple setup, with only custom images, , registry entry after setup, and redist install(DirectX, Visual C++ etc.) . I enable the diskspam to have two dvd5.
Everything goes well until, in the end of installation (when it has to create shortcuts and start the redist installation) it crashes with "external exception c00006".
It only happens if I use the two different isos of the game... If I install it from the hard disk no error appears, and the setup ends successfully.
How can I prevent this type of error? (and...what is this exception c00006???)
Thamk you in advance!

Error name ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

C0000006 External Exception Errors

C0000006 on Local Area Network:

When receiving this error in a Local Area Network (LAN), it is generally an indication the station is no longer connected to the network and it has lost its connection to the server. It is recommended to troubleshoot the connection by checking cabling, any hub or switch and the Network Interface Card (NIC) on any station with this error. If this is happing on the entire network, the common devices such as the Server's NIC, network cable connecting the server to the switch or the switch could be the cause.

This error could also be caused by any anti-virus/firewall solutions that is not properly configured. Anti-virus solutions that inspect and delay the packet delivery or interrupt packet delivery over the network can be the culprit and cause disconnection from the databases.

We have also seen this error when other software such as RLI is accessed at the same time as Compulink on the same station.

NOTE: It's excerpt.

Disable your anti-virus and firewall start setup again.

No antivirus and no LAN connection related problems ... It surely depends if I install the program from the HD or from the DVD... The solution must be something related with the diskspam function

Hi guys, i'm looking for a bit of help here.
I'm making a repack of crysis 2 with (obviously) yener90's custom installer, and i'm stuck at the "SaveGameFolder" section in the Setup.ini.
Crysis 2's saves are located in the Saved Games folders:
C:\Users\Username\Saved Games\Crysis2
I'm having trouble with the "Username" part because i know i must use the costant {username}, but when i uninstall the game the uninstaller won't recognize it. Is there a way to implement this costant in the InstallerScript.iss (or any other way to make the costant work) ?

EDIT: Solved. I put "Username" instead of "username". Damn lower case.

[yener90]

What kind of bat file?
Im sure something is wrong with the bat file.

[Sottoikoneht]

Problem solved I put a
[Run]
Filename: "{app}\Setup.bat"; section in the script and it worked
Thanks anyway yener

Hi guys, thanks for the work done but I encountered a problem when I use compression ARC+PRECOMP+SREP, most of the files are extracted, but about 65%, it gives me an error:
ISSrepExtract not initialized properly ...
I state that it used the sintex Peterf of compression, you could suggest a solution?

P. S. The game I'm trying to compress is Dead Island GOTY.

Maybe you put an incorrect version of precomp in the setup.ini file, it must be
0.42, not 0,42 or 042
