Today is bad even for reloading forum pages.

I am not sure why that is happening to you? I never seem to have any problems uploading, not that I upload much these days.
I have added your file to your post for you.
If you do have problems uploading you are welcome to send me a PM requesting me to add the file to your posts. (Just add the file as an external link in your post and I will take care of it.)

Updated DiskSpan_GUI to v1.0.0.4 [2021.03.26].
For information of the changes in the current DiskSpan_GUI see the changelog file in the "COMPRESSOR" folder.

P.S: To use the new version of DiskSpan_GUI with CIU, first delete the old "COMPRESSOR" folder from the CIU source code folder and then add the "COMPRESSOR" folder contained in the attachment file (do not overwrite).

EDIT:
I'm adding new features to DiskSpan_GUI.
Download the "DiskSpan_GUI 2.0 (demo)" version and run in CONFIG mode and see what's new.
If anyone has any useful suggestions for improving DiskSpan_GUI project, please collaborate.

Cesar82 why not create a separate thread for the DiscSpan GUI ^^ Really the tool is great and easy to customize to your needs ^^

Cesar 82, I have a question if you can add the option to set xtool 2020 -d# - scan depth to the next version. And I have one more question, is there an error in the syntax xtool_lz4? xt_lz4 gives me results and xtool_lz4 gives me nothing.

15:36:57 - Selected ARC method for Data1e.bin was: xt_lz4
Compressed 160 files, 8,719,655,516 => 23,176,604,903 bytes. Ratio 265.80%

15:36:57 - Selected ARC method for Data1j.bin was: xtool_lz4
Compressed 160 files, 8,719,655,516 => 8,719,657,878 bytes. Ratio 100.00%

And so I wonder what the problem is. I like all the changes to DiskSpan_GUI 2.0 and I am looking forward to the next version. Beer for you ^^

I did not understand your suggestion.
I don't know if that will do what you need, so I could understand if I add an option, you can include it as a parameter (I think).

People who understand this functionality more, please comment if it would work.

[External compressor:xtool_zlib]
header    = 0
packcmd   = "PRE\XTool_2020\Win64\XTool.exe" precomp -mzlib -c64mb -t100p {options} --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:xtool_lz4]

[External compressor:xtool_reflate]

[External compressor:xtool_kraken4,xtool_kraken5,xtool_kraken6,xtool_kraken7,xtool_kraken8]
header    = 0
packcmd   = "PRE\XTool_2020\Win64\XTool.exe" precomp -mkraken -c64mb -t100p {options} --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:xtool_grittibanzli]

packcmd   = "PRE\XTool_2020\Win64\XTool.exe" precomp -mgrittibanzli -c64mb -t100p {options} --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>

Then it would be used as that on the command line (manually).

About XTool 2020 not having inflated the file, try using the same lz4 library by copying from the XTool folder (old) to the XTool 2020 folder.
For each game you may or may not use a different version of the libraries, so it is necessary to test with different versions of the libraries.

Changing the subject...
If someone has download authorization and can share the file ISFreeArcExtract 4.3 here on the forum, it would be very useful for me (@mods, if I can't request it here, remove those lines).

[sajmon83]

That's what I meant to set the scan depth. Thanks will try to edit the settings

Hi, can someone please help me in creating setup.exe of a conversion I have made, I compressed a game but I don't know how to make setup.exe file. Please give detail explaination. Thank you.

[Gehrman]

Hi Cesar82

How to create a setup.exe without Setup.dll?
Like CIU 3.0.0.0.

[Gehrman]

The Setup.dll file contains all of the decompressors needed for extraction.
If you used the compressors internally (before) it would still be necessary to have a config file externally (Records.ini).
With Setup.dll you can include Records.ini within Setup.dll, thus making only one file necessary with Setup.exe.



I think this is not a bug.
You changed the file name, hence the error.
The names of the parts used in CIU today are <name>.001, <name>.002, <name>.003, etc.

See the video again.
The first error does not matter.

Good evening,
I would like to know where I went wrong in the registry argument so that it installs this key for me if I choose Task 2 or 3
Thank you

Root: "HKCU"; Subkey: "Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\6800"; ValueType: dword; ValueName: "Installed"; ValueData: "1"; Tasks: 2,3

There are two ways to use CIU.
CIU should always be used in the Check: parameter.

Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\6800"; ValueType: dword; ValueName: "Installed"; ValueData: "1"; Check: TasksCheck('2,3');

or

Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\6800"; ValueType: dword; ValueName: "Installed"; ValueData: "1"; Check: IsValid('','',2,3','');

P.S: For more information on the functions, or other functions compatible with the Registry, read the changelog that is in the "Help" folder of the CIU source code (In the part referring to CIU 3.0.0.0.u6)

Hello,
Thank you for your invaluable help.
I was able to do what I wanted except one thing, put Check: Not isWin64 because there is already Ckeck: Task
I would also like to know if it is normal that my installation all ends at 33.3% instead of going up to 100%?

[Cesar82]

Updated CIU 3.0.0.1.b8.u3 and DiskSpan_GUI 1.0.0.5.

INFO:
1) Download the two attachment files and extract using WinRar or 7Zip.
2) Move the "COMPRESSOR" folder from the DiskSpan_GUI attachment to the CIU source code folder.

P.S: I shared the attachments separately so that the same attachment from DiskSpan_GUI can be used for other installers such as ASIS, LIS or others installers.
For change information take a quick tour of the changelog files.

Edit:
Hotfix 1 - Fixed music loop and muti music files.
Hotfix 2 changes here (does not need the previous hotfix).
Hotfix 3 - Fixed to hide frame when window title bar (Windows native title bar) is displayed.
Hotfix 4 - Fixed displaying progress bar image in uninstall mode.

NOTES:
- No previous HF is needed (HF is cumulative).
- Delete the previous source code scripts and extract the HF# and replace the files in the CIU source code.
P.S: Attachment hotfix 1,2,3 has been kept because if there are any new bugs in last hotfix, use previous hotfix.

Please report if you find any errors.
Thanks!

Hi, how can I add archives that are freearc archives but are not made using UltraArc or DiskSpan and how can I import my own Compressors in CIU?? Thanks.
