I didn't test it but I thought it was due to a couple of calling of CopyCompressorsEx function (that indeed you fixed) after extracting in temp folder of other files and thus not due to DiskSpan itself, but I am not pretty sure

Yes the problem was in the CopyCompressorsEx lines.
This function is to include external compressors only needing to include an external folder and inform it in Records.ini or Setup.ini (If you don't use records.ini).
Before I was copying everything that was in the same folder as Setup.exe to a temporary folder (Now I fixed it).
Just remove the lines that would have corrected.
Thank you for reporting the error.

I will soon share a new version of the Light installer with the new Cls-DiskSpan.dll library by Razor12911.

I did not understand your request. If possible, explain further.
If you want you can send a PM with more details of your request.

Test archive after operation
Very useful and essential. This option

I did some tests using the -t parameter on the commandline, and for me to include this functionality it would be necessary to include several files (More than 15 Mb) in the resources folder just for testing.
It would also be necessary to include a checkbox to enable the test.

I may include this in version 2.0 of DiskSpan_GUI, but I don't promise anything (I don't know if it will work for all methods).

Currently it has a button that makes the extraction process simulating the installer. This test is more reliable because if for some reason any decompressor is missing it will fail.
The FreeArc test will test the file, but if any decompressor or config is missing from Setup.dll, even though the FreeArc test is OK, it may happen that the installer fails during installation (If anything is missing from Setup.dll).


About the MD5 check, what was your suggestion?
Generate a hash for the Data.bin.001 files?
If so, I don't think it would work because the files would be in separate folders or on some kind of disk. It would only work if they had all files in one folder.

Hi Cesar82 and thanks for providing such a simple and easy to use installer that suits my style.

I am facing just one issue. When I change the logo using the .psd file provided (I just changed the name from "light installer" to "allen installer" using photoshop) and the save the file to LightInstallerLogoOrange.bmp, the setup file still displays the original .bmp file. Please note that I am using Charcoal Dark Slate.vsf style file

Setup File:


BMP File.

The white part is from the skin itself.
Use another skin that won't have this white part.

Added Light Installer Script 1.0.0.9 update 4 in the first post (replace files).

Changes:
- Added custom language dialog with skin support.
- Updated support for DiskSpan_GUI 2.0.0.4 and newer.

Sorry about that.

In the [Languages] section of the script, simply enter the text highlighted in red color below (on script line 294 here).

#sub CreateLangList
  #if defined(LangSection) && (FileLine != "") && (Pos(";", FileLine) != 1) && (Pos("[", FileLine) != 1)
    #expr LangList[Count] = FileLine
    #expr Count++
  #elif Pos(LowerCase("[Languages]"), LowerCase(FileLine)) > 0
    #define public LangSection
  #endif
#endsub

I don't understand what exactly you need?
You mean a preprocessor parameter that disabling it disables the creation of uninstall files and uninstall registry entries?

It makes no sense that the installer is trying to access the internet.
The AppPublisherURL= AppSupportURL= AppUpdatesURL= keys are descriptive used only in shortcut of the control panel.
READ: AppPublisherURL, AppSupportURL, AppUpdatesURL.

---------
my own system never caught installer trying to access network, so I have no idea either

Attached script 1.0.1.0 (U2):

- Added ISPP directive (#define Uninstallable), if you disable this directive line:
>> It won't create the uninstall files.
>> Will not create uninstall registry keys.
>> It will not create the shortcuts in the start menu.

I assume it's from CurStepChanged (ssPostInstall section)

Other minor issues:

• LogoOnClick is missing #ifdef AppURL condition
• ShowWindow has a typo in argument

function ShowWindow(hWnd: v; ...)
---
I guess it's supposed to be 
---
function ShowWindow(hWnd: HWND; ...)

Thanks for reporting the bugs.
If you find other bugs let me know.
I have attached the script with the reported bugs fixed.
