[GSERIES] Custom Installer Ultimate V2g

[KaktoR]

Noticed there is no conversion using this script, i wonder why.

You can remove it if it is not used anyway.

Just make clear changelogs, so i have it easier to update the wiki page, if possible

Actually i was planning to get the designer done in this month, but they took our surprise pre-boards plus Iafter coming more then half way I decided to rewrote this.. maybe next month I will relasea beta version
..

Also I will be replacing botva with my own library , free arc with my own archiver and thanks to altef for sharing code I fixed and optimize compiler further, next will be to join setup.cab and setup.exe.....
A lots if plan but no time to implement......

I will not be releasing any new version in between, this just make thing more ...

[KaktoR]

Waiting for it.

CIU really needs a GUI designer. No more INI tinkering

Custom Installer Ultimate v2.HOW TO CHANGE THE DESTINATION DIRECTORY BEFORE COMPILING EXAMPLE: C:\GAMES.PLS HELP!

[pakrat2k2]

^^ Stop with the CAPS !!

You cant change before compiling, have to change it when installing.. no big deal
most people don't install stuff on OS partition anyways.

Picking up virus from cat.exe & couple other alerts with AVG, when running compiler.

[KaktoR]

Had this issue some months ago too.

I don't even know what cat.exe is

[KaktoR]

Came up with a QoL idea while i was building up my launcher

How about to implement a function to let users choose between Steam/GOG in Autorun screen?

Many games are up on Steam and GOG, while GOG needs specific registry settings stored in Registry.iss.

In the end users could choose what version they want to install. That makes conversion makers to upload a single Setup.exe and not 2 different ones (one for Steam, another for GOG). Should save upload bandwitdh and also less wasting space on the FF servers.

You still need 2 seperate EXE's, the gog version for updates sake needs the registry entries., how can that be accomplished in one Setup.exe ?

[KaktoR]

With switches, same as f.e. language switch. But it's just a guess

[pakrat2k2]

sounds like good idea, hope you get it to work

Bug: If you disable music on Autorun by Equalizer and press 'Install', music is enables then on Setup screen. If you disable music on Setup by Equalizer and press 'Next' twice, music plays. In addition, Equalizer has an animation although you have disabled music.

+

Could you please for next version set compression for Setup.exe+Setup.bin to lzma?

If you cancel unpacking files, already extracted files remain in install folder, means no rolling back.

Great work!
This one is the definitive CIUv2!
I have some questions and/or suggestions:

I want only do put website button on my conversion, but I need to put extras button too?
Is there any way to put only the website button alone?

When I select LangBox position=vertical and I limit the numbers of languages to show up, there is no arrow like previous versions to change the little flag. Is it OK or a little bug?

One thing that I want for a long time is individual sound effects for each button, e.g. a sound for next button and another to cancel button when clicked.

Thanks in advance!
Keep this awesome work!

will try to merge them, the easiest way is to set no compression for 'setup.bin' and include it in Setup.exe, but will raise startup time, ok with it(ain't gonna give choice between them)

I think you just need to disable Extra Buttons, KakoTR any help?

( of course not exactly like that, i just typed it like that so it doesnt link to a website, you dont need the h t t p part )

Thank you so much guys for the quick reply!

I have tried this - like older versions, if I only put visible=1 in Website, this one shows without Extras button to be enabled.
I have tried this way and didn't work in this version.

The URL is fine. I know that HTTP is not needed. I tried with this and older versions of CIU. Thanks for the tip.

If I put visible to both Website and Extras button, the website only shows up after I click on Extras. It's fine!

But If I change the Width and Height values in Website Button, It does not show again! XD Same problem with last version (2.0.3.9).
So I can't personalize this button... Only If it has the same dimensions of others.

If I set Visible=0 to Extras Button and only put to show up the Website button, the Website button does not show up...

Edit:
If i set Extras Button Visible=0 and Website Button Visible=1 and DO NOT CHANGE the sizes of this one, It shows up in Autorun! XD
The problem, then, It is in sizes - like old version!
If I personalize this button and change its sizes, It didin't appears!

Edit2:
Other little problem is that LabelX/LabelY show to be not working too...

And nobody has a idea about independent sounds for each button? At least for Install/Next and Cancel/Back?


I have got the same problem with the cat.exe! Windows antivirus show a trojan Tigger!rfn in this file! The weird thing that I'm using this release a while and only got this today! XD

Thank you so much guys! You're awesome!
A Happy Holidays to all and and Great new Year! With a lot of conversions to do!
