Can you please tell me how to add files in [Files] menu ?

Thanks in advance

Check the inno setup documentation.
It explains [Files] section

@Razor:
About Title image size, it's not 249x79 as written but 649x79 no ?

[toto621]

Here is a quick Howto I wrote to help people unconfortable with Inno/Setup builders :
1- First Launch BBWizard.exe and complete the first page (Game Name/Publisher/Version/Size/ect..).



2- Set primary game exe (and secondary one if exist, for example : launcher and direct game exe).


3- Set redist if needed, in my example no need of Redist at all (Unity game engine).


4- If you want to use Inno internal compression, set [Files] section (less effective than external) and Registry if needed (most of steam games don't need to).


5- Now all you need is to set setup images, note that title box have wrong picture size, it's 649x79 instead of 249x79.


6- Hit Compile, choose an output folder and wait until it's done.


7- Now download and launch UltraARC, I still use 2.4.0.0 version because latest one crash a lot more on my rig but it's still same settings. So, set source folder (game folder) and output one (setup files folder).


8-Choose your compression method and options, on my rig I use ARC one but not PreComp because it crash nealy each time I use it so I do not tick this option.


9- Set archive prefix, extension and split options if you want, it's not needed but highly recommended for big games.


You can use this options as reference :
If burning on DVD5 then:
First Volume size = 4450
Custom Volume Size = 4480
Threshold Percent = 30

If burning on DVD9 then:
First Volume size = 7920
Custom Volume Size = 7950
Threshold Percent = 30

10- Hit Start and wait until it's done. Check Logs to see if it failed or success.

11- Just copy Setup exe generated with BBWizard in UltraARC output folder, it must be in the same folder as records.ini and compressed game files, for our example :

records.ini
Setup.exe
Toren_v1.0u1-1.bin

12- Enjoy your repack ^^

Only UltraARC is supported so far so use it but if you really want to try with your actual compressor, here is an example of records.ini content, let's say the game files are splited in 3 parts and compressed with freearc without precomp :

[Record1]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\data-1.bin
Output={app}
Disk=1
[Record2]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\data-2.bin
Output={app}
Disk=1
[Record3]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\data-3.bin
Output={app}
Disk=1

Until a proper fix by Razor, here is a workaround :
1- Delete/Rename Icon.ico from InstallFiles folder because as long as the software will acces it it will use it.
2- Delete/Rename Icon.ico next to BBWizard.exe for the same reason.
3- Copy your game icon in the software folder and rename it Icon.ico.
4- Compile and enjoy
