INNO TROUBLESHOOT - Questions Here

[killkrazed]

If A game has it's registry keys in 2 different places based on if it's 64 or 32-bit how would I add that to innosetup?

EG:
The Game on 32-bit windows has it's registry in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE", But in 64-bit windows it instead goes into "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432NODE".

Would I simply add registry for both editions, changing the "HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\" to "HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\WOW6432NODE\". Or does innosetup sort it out itself?

Thanks in advance.

you must use "Check: IsWin64;" if you want Inno to add the registry is running under x64 and "Check: not IsWin64" if running in x86.
But remove this line in both x86 and x64 OS in your registry (\WOW6432NODE)

Could you please give an Example?

I am trying to add the registry for PES2014, it works fine off the original installer but every time I convert it the registry doesn't seem to be added correctly.

you are not ask for me but here:
[Registry]
Root: HKLM; SubKey: SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam; ValueType: string; ValueName: InstallPath; ValueData: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist; Check: isWin64;
Root: HKLM; SubKey: SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam; ValueType: string; ValueName: InstallPath; ValueData: C:\Program Files\Steam; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist; Check: not isWin64;

Thanks!

I would have never realized I needed the "createvalueifdoesntexist" if you hadn't given me the example.

please, how to join / merge setup.cab into setup.exe? I've tried internal instalation tutorial but I still don't quite understand

[pakrat2k2]

using CIU you must have
#define Internal ( like it is in BOTH Installerscript / Langscript ISS files.
In Installerscript.iss the ;#define ProgramFiles .... line MUST have the ; in front.

Then the files from Setup.cab MUST be extracted in Setup subfolder. Then files from setup.cab will be included into the setup.exe.

but when i deleted the setup.cab. setup.exe is still looking for the setup.cab
And seems like the game not loaded into the script.

hey m8

compile script first (with #define Internal) and then

run file "Convert_AutorunToDLL.bat".

after running this file you can delete setup.cab.

I've seen the scripts from some installer.
1st installer (tombraider survival) didn't put any registry code

[Registry]

2nd installer (sleeping dog) put one line of registry code

[Registry]
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\{code:GetAppPublisher}\{code:GetAppName} "; ValueName: UninstallString; ValueData: {uninstallexe}; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;

3rd installer (mass effect 3) put many line of registry code on their scripts

[Registry]
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect 3"; ValueName: Install Dir; ValueData: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath}; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect 3"; ValueName: Display Name; ValueData: Mass Effect™ 3 ; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect 3"; ValueName: GDFBinary; ValueData: {app}\Mass Effect 3\GDFBinary_en_US.dll ; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;

etc..

all the script can install and uninstall perfectly.
what is the difference between three of them?
how do i recognize a game which required alot of registry code to be inserted in the script or not at all?
if I don't insert the registry key, then the game wouldn't compatible for the future updates of the game? (like in the first ver. splinter cell blacklist installer)
sorry for my bad english

[pakrat2k2]

some games don't care if they have any registry entries at all. The uninstall entry is only for INNO version, to uninstall properly. ( much like #1 & #2 installers )

Then there is the 3rd type of game which will NOT run at all, or allow any updates to be installed if the proper registry entries are not found.

You need to search thru registry for entries that the particular game your doing, entered any. IF it has you MAY need to copy those types of entries into your INNO script.

Can anyone modify the installerscript?

I don't want to include "include" folder...that means no arc...no 7z...and nothing else....i want to use my custom files.

and also i don't need disk spanning for three disk or more.

I just need 1 disk slice.

can any one modify the script???...i can't do that because everything is related to each other.
