ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[K4miKaZe]

Hi, first i want to give thanks to KaktoR for this beautiful inno script. Im new to inno and scripts, it tooked me all this night to learn how to set everything up (ultraarc, inno, scripts, etc...) and now i managed how to create correctly the installers. But i have a little question, i looked over this forum first but didnt find anything related to this (maybe ive not searched right).
My question is basicly about the "system requirements" tab, how does the OS works, on the original script its setted up to 611 but i cant find a table or something that converts windows versions to numbers (hummm). So my question here is how i can see every windows editions equivalent number to set it up. On other hand on the same tab i also have problems with the DirectX section, if i set it to 9.0c it doesnt work, setting it to 9 works fine. Is there any table for this too?

Thanks again and im very sorry if you don´t understand my bad english, feel free to ask me if you dont understand something.

Regards !!!

611 is Windows 7
1000 is Windows 10
(Major/Minor/SPPack)

Search in wikipedia for their numbers.

DirectX is only 9/10/11/12

Many thanks KaktoR for your fast reply. So, if i understand it for example Windows Xp should be 510, with sp1 511, sp2 512, sp3 513 right? Trust me, i looked already on wiki too and didnt find those 3 numbers xD. But after your reply i think i have understood it now.

Thanks again !!!

[KaktoR]

For example: Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600.5512 (SP 3)

Windows Major version is 5, the minor version is 1 and the SP number is 3
= 513
If you want to check for SP1 or SP2, use 511 or 512.

Windows 7 6.1 Build 7600 (Service Pack 1: 6.1 Build 7601)
Windows major version is 6, minor version is 1 and SP number is 1
= 611

Here is the link with all versions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT

Look in "Releases" tab

Wow, this fits all my needs. Many many thanks again. For this moment all is working fine, i was changing some colors and some other things but for now tested it on 3 little games and it works perfect. The only thing that has driven me crazy was the OS parameters (not needed now but i like to understand how anything works for the future because im sure i will need it).

Thanks again and sorry for my bad english !!!

Hi again, this is only if someone else has the same problem i have got yesterday/today creating installers for the Assassins Creed Games. I started yesterday to rip Syndicate, all went fine on ultraarc with afr+srep+ll2 for forge, srep+ll2 on other files and bpk for the bink files. Got my packed game in around 6 hours from around 68gb to only 18,7gb. After that i created the installer on ASIS but here is when problems arrived xDD. When i tried to install the game it breaks every time on the same forge file with the isdone.dll fail, no other error message (just a blank box). So i looked over on the compilator.ini and changed the AFR version from 19 to 20, this time the installer was faster but same problem on same file. After that and for testing myself i installed the first Assassins Creed because its small, packed it the same way (without -a2 on afr) and the same happened on the installer. Changed a lot of things and finally found the solution. Changing on the compiler the define srep from "N" to "O" did solve the install problems for me. This only happens on the forge files, i already packed other games (small games yesterday) with srep and lolz and it had no problems but the "N" value on Srep seems not to like Assassins.
So if everyone has the same problem try this setting, hope it helps.

First and only question is what version of Srep did You use for compression. Version 3.93a causes problems with CRC and decompression overall. This version also causes false compression ratio so for example I've comressed The Sims 3 with srep3.93a and it seemed that the game was compressed to 15GB but that was a bogus and archives were damaged.

I have used 3.92 but it was not a compression problem. As i said, the same packed files doesnt install with the "N" command but it installs fine with the "O" command, the problem here was unpack related (my packed bin file is the same). I also checked crc after getting it to work and crc is fine (on AC1 and Syndicate). Maybe its me but using also 020 on AFR instead 019 seems to be a little bit faster on installing, i will let it this way and test all other AC games. For non forge files if i pack with the "N" command it works fine, it only doesnt like the forge files (i mean the unpacker/installer).

Edit: SREP64 3.9.2, thats the version i used.

Mmmm this is a bit strange, its about the redists. I have a small problem here and was testing it in many ways without solution. The problem is if i want to install only the redist 2 it doesnt install or do anything. If i enable/tick the first one it works good for both but if i only enable/tick the second one on the installer it doesnt work. Maybe im missing something, did anyone checked this?

Thanks !!!

Hi Mr (s), thanks for every thinks, just i have a problem with the method (xZLib+srep+lolz), i'm using:
* UltraARC 2900 R5 Stable Release
* ASIS.v7.0.8
The error is: Unsupported compress method (xZLib+srep+lolz)!
Please if any one help me, i'm tired to solve this 0_0.

I'm using the following ini(s):

Mmmm i cant edit my last message, i actually fixed it myself. There is a small error on the code on the Script.iss file. All redists sections are checking if redist1 is enabled, so if number 1 is disabled no other works. Here is the code, its easy to fix, just changing the number for every redist on the script.

#if Redist2 == "1"
    if (CurStep = ssPostInstall) then begin
      if Redist1CB.Checked then begin
      #if UltraARC == "1"
        WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Hide;
      #endif
        WizardForm.StatusLabel.Caption := ExpandConstant('{cm:InstallingRedist2}');
        if not IsWin64 then begin
          Exec2(ExpandConstant('{#Redist2Exe32}'),'{#Redist2Param}',true);
        end else
          Exec2(ExpandConstant('{#Redist2Exe64}'),'{#Redist2Param}',true);
          Exec2(ExpandConstant('{#Redist2Exe32}'),'{#Redist2Param}',true);
      end;
    end;

As you can see in the red part the redist2 is checking for redist1, the same happens to all others. Just change 2 for 2, 3 for 3 and so on.

@Jawahir95
Have you disabled diskspan and enabled ultraarc in Settings.ini?

[K4miKaZe]

Jawahir95 mmm i had problems too from UltraArc 2900 but i solved it downloading Xtools and replace it with the Asis and Ultraarc version, it was mainly because it didnt work for zstd. Maybe you can first try to add // to #Define ReflateDLL "x64" to disable it, i didnt used it on ME when i used your same method (Xtools+srep+lolz) and it worked but as said above i used the same xtools version on Uarc and Asis. Another check is maybe changing on the first option the SREP "N" to "O" ("N" didnt worked for me on the AC Games).

[KaktoR]

Xtool on current ASIS version is very outdated (it's the first XTool version, some missing files).

Maybe I will fix the problems tomorrow.

Ok !!! I tested it again now on my fixed script and its fine. Should be only this little typo (that usually happens when we copy and paste some code for categories that always looks same with little variation). Happened to me so many times xDD. And yes, the xtools is a bit outdated but its easy to fix/replace, i didnt mention it because i thought that maybe you dont have permission or something to add newer versions. Already used your script for all AC Games and ME Andromeda this week and its perfect, tooks a while to learn how everything works and more if you didnt use programs like ultraarc or inno in the life but after spending some time its very easy.
