Conversion Designer/Installer Creator

[vollachr]

I've been trying to create a custom setup for a game I have with Install Creator, been quite a success but I just can't get 2 things right.

1. The uninstall value in control panel always displays like this:

Game name version x.x.x.x

I'd like it to dispaly just the game name

2. the start menu & desktop shortcuts have the word launcher added to the end after the game name, I'd like it to just be the game name, only been able to get that right when selecting CUSTOM for the executable type but than it shows the game name instead of "Launch" on the autorun menu.

Both issues are minor but it will bug me forever, I just know it, any ideas?

I just downloaded & read through it, didn't see a solution for what I wanted, basically, I really want the installed product to appear at the control panel add/remove program windows with the product name only, not followed by "version 1.0.0.0"

Lets say my the product is called "My Game", currently it will appear in the uninstall list as "My game version 1.0.0.0", I want it to just appear as "My Game".

As I said, found no way to control that, maybe with registry entries but I wouldn't know how.

As for the desktop shortcut, as far as I can see using the CUSTOM type at the executable settings is my best option, it gives me the closest result to what I wanted.

EDIT:

Nevermind, figured it out, indeed using registry values, I just installed the game from the custom setup & located the registry entries the installer automatically adds for the uninstall values, from there I extracted the Displayname value and added it to the setup project, changed the display name, uninstalled, reinstalled original version, re-compiled, and uninstalled, then reinstalled from the custom setup and the uninstall value appeared right as I wanted.

So I'm finally done & the custom setup ready.

Or you can just grab source, edit script.iss, under Setup section, add AppID and the value should be the same as AppName.
Then save script, compile compiler.iss script then copy compiler.exe from the output then replace the one under the Installer Creator installation directory.

Whoa, what? overload....

What source? what scrpt? I lost you there, all I have is an ICP file for the project.

EDIT:

OK, nevermind, I think I figured out what you mean, trying it now.

Seems as there's a problem, I was using version 2.5.1 so the source wasn't compatible, I tried installing 2.7 beta instead but now I can't find where is the soure settings that tells install creator which folder to create the setup from, I have only "executable" , "tasks" & "components" under the resources tab.

Jamel, i think it is a false positive.

vollachr, download attachment known as InstallerCreator_v2.7_Source_DXE3
and do the steps.

I have downloaded that attachement and edited the script.iss file to look like this:

[Setup]
AppName={code:ApplicationName}
AppID={code:ApplicationName}
AppPublisher={code:ApplicationPublisher}
AppVersion={code:ApplicationVersion}

then I used the Compil32.exe file inside folder "Release\include" to compile the compiler.iss file.

Then, if I understood correctly I need to compy the compiler.exe from the folder "Release" to the installed directory of Install creator & replace the exisiting file, did that as well.

Now, when I was running 2.5.1 the build button just stopped working altogher, when using 2.7 beta3 the build button works.

but wether I try 2.7 beta3 before or after the above process there are options missing from the program and it always builds the setup files from the installation directory of Install Creator, there's no option to set a source or registry or anything, just Executable, Tasks & Components, that's all that is available under the Resources tab at the left.

Need some help with a bug I have with the Install Creator 2.5.1, when I design the Installer (Not the autorun, the actual installer) I can't select graphic for selected, clicked & disabled status buttons, it just won't show up, it's like I didn't select it at all, on the Autorun design it works fine, any suggestions? it's the 2nd time it happened to me in 2 different projects.


Update: For now I managed to bypass the problem by installing 2.7 Beta 3 make the changes and then go back to 2.5.1, the reason I went back to 2.5.1 is that 2.7 seems to be missing a lot of the options in 2.5.1, at least it seems to be OK now but for future uses I'd love to have a solution for that buttons graphic problem in 2.5.1.
