I am sharing CIU v3.0.0.1.b7 here so that more users can test and report the bugs found.

- Use DiskSpan or UltraArc from the "UltraArc 2900 R8" folder that is included in the source code to compress the game.
- The "Equalizer Tool" does not yet have all the updated Equalizer functionality, so some keys like StopOnSelect=, ShowLastState= must be manually configured in the "Setup.ini" file.
- Several keys and also some sections have had their names changed, and some keys have also been removed, so it is recommended to read the changelog.

Added hotifix 3 for beta 7.
Replace all files in source code beta 7 and delete scripts with an earlier date.

Hotifix 3:
- Fixed ISPP error during the creation of the internal ISPP INI file from Setup.ini.
- Fixed reading of parameter keys when installing 32Exe= key items from the [Launch#] sections.
  >> This error was usually visible as an invalid parameter error when installing DirectX.
- Removed AddGameExplorer function when the detected system is Windows 10.
  >> The AddGameExplorer function still remains for previous versions of Windows that support GameUx.

Hotifix 2
- Fixed section when moving the mouse on the Button Labels using italic fonts.
- Fixed and also changed to the internal RequestDisk mode of the Cls-DiskSpan.dll library. 
  >> To try to avoid most errors when requesting next disk.
- Fixed phantom buttons (Clone of visible button labels) in the upper left corner of the installer (All pages).
  >> This error is only visible if you disable the button label shadows, so it creates a phantom click region with the same size as the visible button label.

Hotifix 1
- Fixed an error in the creation of the optional buttons to always create when there is a key Visible= or Left= in the section corresponding to the button.
- Fixed to slightly reduce lag when changing languages when using complex design installers and only using an autorun image.
- Fixed an error that previously displayed multiple hint balloons with the language name when moving the mouse over the flags.
  >> At each language change, another balloon was created for the selected language, with several balloons overlapping.
  >> This was only visible when enabling the key BalloonTip= of the [LangBox] section
- Fixed the correct positioning of labels aligned to the right, such as FreeSpaceLabel, RemaingTimeLabel in Installer/SmallInstaller and others labels.
  >> Positioning was also fixed when using Alignment=right in the [TextStage] section.

Do you have disk space on the disk partition on DiskSpan.bat?
It looks like an insufficient space error.

I don't know if this command has the same compression factor...
But looking in the DiskSpan_xx.ini file, it is the closest supported method
I think KaktoR can give you a better answer.

I use my hard disk which still has 359Gb of free space to compress and i put diskpan file in my hard disk.

looking in the DiskSpan_xx.ini file, it is the closest supported method
I think KaktoR can give you a better answer.

what do u mean by 'Diskspan_XX.ini', i didn't fint that file at all.

xzlib+srep:m3f+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000

for the code that u give now, i already try it, but still got the same error.


oh, i forgot to mention, im using DVD5.

Ok thank you for the instruction how to use diskpan. im really appreciate it

for mask method use the last method

'mask method' ? how do i know that im using mask or not ?

last but not least, do you know why do i get this error ?

[KaktoR]

Mask is only aviable for UltraArc, not diskspan.

Try this method

xZLib+srep+LZMA-MT

This method was used by me (I only write the full command because not every compressor knows xZLib or LZMA-MT).

PS: And exclude both Qt4WebKit dll files, because you will get crc error on installing.

Added hotfix 3 to beta 7 in #post.

New DiskSpan BAT
I attached a new DiskSpan BAT file with some additional settings for use with the DUAL installer.
The new settings are:

set INSTALLERTYPE=STEAM,GOG,UWP
set ISCIU3001=TRUE

- The ISCIU3001 setting is for you to use with CIU 3.0.0.0.u9 just by setting the value FALSE
- The definition of the variable INSTALLERTYPE supports combinations STEAM, GOG, UWP separated by commas, or just one of them if you prefer.
It is possible to use 2 bat one for each type like "_DiskSpan_STEAM.bat" and "_DiskSpan_GOG.bat" just by defining the type for each one.
If you have more than one type of options, the user will be offered the option to choose.
For normal installers just disable this INSTALLERTYPE line using "::" or "rem" (without quotes) at the beginning of the line.
With these settings, the bat file automatically creates the settings highlighted in the image below.
