You can do that with Winamp and Sound Forge...
/sarcasm off

I can see that you are new to the forums but, is it THAT hard to read First post of this topic before asking a question? Question for which you can find the answer on first page (at least most important parts)...

Second, most of the stuff is Stickied and can be found around this topic...

hi, how to create a multiple or triple executable?

///////////////////// SETUP SETTINGS //////////////////////

[InstallOptions]
ApplicationName=The Sims 3 Collection
Publisher=Electronic Arts
GameSize=33000
MyExecutableIconName=The Sims 3
MyExecutableName=TS3.exe
MyExecutablePath=Game\Bin
//The Sims 3 Ambitions
MyExecutableIconName2=The Sims 3 Ambitions
MyExecutableName2=TS3EP02.exe
MyExecutablePath2=Game\Bin
//The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff
MyExecutableIconName3=The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff
MyExecutableName3=TS3SP02.exe
MyExecutablePath3=Game\Bin
//The Sims 3 Generations
MyExecutableIconName4=The Sims 3 Generations
MyExecutableName4=TS3EP04.exe
MyExecutablePath4=Game\Bin

this is right? i can't figure it out..

[pakrat2k2]

loks right except

MyExecutableIconName3=The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff
MyExecutableName3=TS3SP02.exe shouldn't that be 03 ??

[Pirate Ted]

its not 3 its TS3SP02.exe in The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff game directory.

i tried the command nothing happen.

[pakrat2k2]

all exe's are in same folder Game\Bin ?

[Pirate Ted]

yes all exe's are in The Sims 3\Game\bin\TS3.exe
The Sims 3\Ambitions\Game\bin\TS3EP02.exe
The Sims 3\Fast Lane Stuff\Game\bin\TS3SP02.exe
The Sims 3\Generations\Game\bin\TS3EP04.exe

[pakrat2k2]

then each path has to point to the correct folder for each exe.

MyExecutableIconName=The Sims 3
MyExecutableName=TS3.exe
MyExecutablePath=The Sims 3\Game\bin
//The Sims 3 Ambitions
MyExecutableIconName2=The Sims 3 Ambitions
MyExecutableName2=TS3EP02.exe
MyExecutablePath2=The Sims 3\Ambitions\Game\bin
//The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff
MyExecutableIconName3=The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff
MyExecutableName3=TS3SP02.exe
MyExecutablePath3=The Sims 3\Fast Lane Stuff\Game\bin
//The Sims 3 Generations
MyExecutableIconName4=The Sims 3 Generations
MyExecutableName4=TS3EP04.exe
MyExecutablePath4=The Sims 3\Generations\Game\bin

hope it helps

I am using this script to compress my files:

arc a -lc8 -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ Data\Data1.cab -mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

Precomp version is 0.43.

and changed the values in setup.ini to this:

[ExtractSettings2]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;PrecSrep:1

But still when I run the setup it doesn't install anything. What am I doing wrong?

I cant get the extraction to work at all. The setup just say installation finished without giving me a error. When i see the files in program files nothing has been installed.

@alley_u2

What version of CI you are using?

The latest one i.e 8.5.7.4

The thing is the setup is not giving me a error at all. I dont know what i am doing wrong. I previously used to work with blackbox script provided in this forum. Its like this script is not executing the extraction process at all.

[Fabioddq]

You are using the old parameters. The current parameters are:
Add on Setup.ini in:

[InstallOptions]
PrecompVer=inside

And in:

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2;

Depends how many Data.cabs and DVDs you have.
