Archive1DiskNumber=1

Archive2Input={app}\data.srep
Archive2Output={app}\
Archive2UnpackType=4
Archive2DeleteInputAfterExtract=1
Archive2DiskNumber=1

Archive3Input={app}\data.pcf
Archive3Output={app}\
Archive3UnpackType=5
Archive3DeleteInputAfterExtract=1
Archive3DiskNumber=1

Archive4Input={app}\data.arc
Archive4Output={app}\
Archive4UnpackType=0
Archive4DeleteInputAfterExtract=1

i follow ur instruction about internal compression and it works.

next i open it with iss tool and change method of compression from none to Izma and ultra 64...then i try to compile it , it gives me an error ( i attached the pic).

i again open script with iss tool and change from izma to none but again same error
please have a look...

if you want change compression level, don't need to use istool or other tools, just open script, find line Compression= and InternalCompressLevel= and change it to
Compression=
zip
bzip
lzma/fast,normal,max,ultra,ultra64
none

InternalCompressLevel=
none
fast
normal
max
ultra
ultra64

During installation , there is only progress bar and nothing else.

is it possible to add time (eg. 2 minutes and 35 seconds remaining ) or some line (please wait while set up finish installing the game on ur system?

sorry for being a troublesome..

i copy a new .iss script and try your instructions. It works.


But did not work on the script which i open with iss tool. (i am telling it just for information)

i still don't add support of this futures to installer, maybe something like this in new versions.

internal compression is working but i cant make the external compression work?

i use the above stated method for compression and follow add ur instrucations (about decompression of data.cab)

script compile but did not extract the data.cab and finish installation without ant error..
but did not install the game.


any suggestions..

[altef_4]

how you compress your files, whare is your archive is located and what you write in installer.ini?

[red01]

my compression method is as follows

arc a -m0 data.arc "C:\Program Files\*"
precomp.exe -c- data.arc
srep.exe -m3f data.pcf data.srep
arc a -mx data.cab data.srep

pause


i put my archive in database folder (see the pic).


i also attached installer.ini


please have a look.

try change line with error to this
if (NoFileForm.ModalResult = mrOk) or (NoFileForm.ModalResult = mrCancel) then begin
