what i've always done, ( just to keep things organized, & easier when posting a conversion or personal use )
the created setup goes in output folder (with games name ) then add UltraArc package to the output folder. Then enduser can simply run ultraarc point to their game & choose compression method.

Dont forget to edit ultraarc.ini & change the firstvolumesize to match what your setup equals subtracted from customvolumesize.

Output\UltraArc package

IE:

Output\Game\setup.exe the setup is 15 so CVS - setup=FVS.
in ultraArc.ini



[Split]
FirstVolumeSize=4465
CustomVolumeSize=4480
ThresholdPercent=30

Use this page for color choices, just use the Hex value without the # & input the value into FontColor=$###### ( 6 parts AFTER the $ )

Code:

In current version you have to use $BGR color (reversed $RGB)

@Schabik:
Add this to [Setup] section:
DisableWelcomePage=no

The script is broken at some points if you not use InnoEE. I still have to rewrite bunch of code.

Even in InnoEE the problem persists.

Ok, so I've got another problem but with included Records.ini

After modification from post https://fileforums.com/showpost.php?...&postcount=385

Installer can't see archive files.
Can anyone help me?


I've changed all {src}\records.ini entries to {tmp}\records.ini

Should I make the WizardForm a bit bigger? I just realized that on some fonts the text on Welcome and Finish page is hard to read because you have to use small font size (otherwise some parts of the text are out of visible window).

Size is now:
Width := 497;
Height := 314;

Code:
v7.1.1
_____________________________________________________
- Updated some compressors
- Added option to make records.ini internal
- Rebuild file handling for compressors
- Updated file structure
- Removed old code
- Removed Compiler.exe for ISEE
  > You have to use IS (u) now
- Fixed ProgressBar flickering
  > It had something to do with (TLabel)
  > It is now (StaticText)
- Added Time Elapsed and Time Remaining
- Removed ProgressBarLabelColor
  > It is not working with (StaticText)
-Removed UltraArc= / DiskSpan= options
  > Installer extracts now both archive without extra setting

KaktoR, when You will upload the updated 7.1.1 version?

Unfortunately my PSU went off after 6 years, so I have to wait for my new one to check this out.

I don't know. Time Remaining is broken atm.

Edit:
I made installer a bit bigger


I had to write some code to overwrite bitmap size because it seems that you can't increase bitmap size with width/height over a specific size.

Thank KaktoR for this great script. I had done some test and found the included precomp 0.42 are not working at all. They fail at decompression I don't know why but seem to work with the UltraArc 2.8.1 R3 with precomp 0.38 version. Any clue on this error ?
