I just want to know - can we add console within wizard page instead of separate windows to show console details to user.

If yes then pl tell how to do it..

Thanks in advance..

Be aware that the commands used do not ask for confirmation.

Thanks for info.

Hi guys

I am a beginner at this, I am trying to repack a 60gb game (Heat) and I am confused on how to add FreeARC to my installer. Can someone give me a tutorial? I am super interested in repacking/compressing games. Can you send me some guides through private message?

Thanks

Hi all, dipping my feet back into the Inno pool again - I have gotten to the point where I am trying to add a label, but the label does not show up. Perhaps I am missing something?

[CODE]

var
 DesktopIconCheckBox: TNewCheckBox;
 Progress: TNewProgressBar;
 RequiredLabel: TLabel;

  Requiredlabel := TLabel.Create(WizardForm);
  with Requiredlabel do
  begin
  SetBounds(10, 160, 390, 25);
  RequiredLabel.Caption := ExpandConstant('{cm:RequiredSpace} {#Size}');
  end;

{#Size} is a predefined variable.

procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: integer);
begin
  if CurPageID = wpWelcome then
  begin
  Progress.Hide;
  RequiredLabel.Show;
  end;

This is the code for the lable, but it does not show when the installer is running:



The pink highlights were the label is meant to be.

Could you send the entire code? I don't get that warning when compiling any version of it

Edit: I get it as well with compact mode = 1, that code it's not used after preprocessing (ISPP), that's why it give you that warning
The code after line 4503 shown in the screen it's not present during the compiling

You would not have been able to compile with the variable ReloadComponents outside the area defined in the ISPP

ReloadComponents: = False;

Copy from the bottom and paste into the variable declaration this:

#if UseComponents == "1"

NOTES: The ISPP can also be used to limit a variable whether or not it is defined.

var
  //////////////////////// Check boxes ////////////////////////
  IconsCB, StartMenuCB, {#if CheckCRC == "1"}CRCCheckCB,{#endif} PauseCB, UninstallCB, LimitRAMCB: TNewCheckBox;

I already got it

But it's not that bad anyway. I was just courios.

as the Error says

Try to change the parent of the label

Parent := WizardForm(.WelcomePage);

If this doesn't has any effect, try to make the position in relation to the DirEdit form

SetBounds(WizardForm.DirEdit.Left, WizardForm.DirEdit.Top + ScaleX(20), ScaleX(390), ScaleY(25));

Sometimes it's complicated because parents are different and positions get broke

PS: And if I were you, I would change the SetBounds integers and add ScaleX/Y to it
