Unlocking Limitless Ability: Changes involved in Main.iss
- If you want to increase the AppExe, just make changes to the section in Img1 like:

//AppExe5
  Name: "{group}\{code:GetShortcutData|AppExe5|ShortcutName}"; Filename: "{app}\{code:GetShortcutData|AppExe5|PathName}"; Parameters: "{app}\{code:GetShortcutData|AppExe5|Parameters}"; Flags: createonlyiffileexists; Check: CreateStartMenuShortcuts
  Name: "{commondesktop}\{code:GetShortcutData|AppExe5|ShortcutName}"; Filename: "{app}\{code:GetShortcutData|AppExe5|PathName}"; Parameters: "{app}\{code:GetShortcutData|AppExe5|Parameters}"; Flags: createonlyiffileexists; Check: CreateDesktopShortcuts

and so on...

- If you want to increase the Redist, Component, Language counts, just increase the values mentioned in Img2:

Added Automation in attachment to import all your tools

Hi, in the Steam Limitless installer, i noticed something that i like, that is the animation of the game info, when the button is clicked, the game info expands downwards pushing the other tabs down too, anyone can help me with identifying which code is responsible for that, i want to implement it into my installer.

I tried copying the code of one of the animations and changing it according to my installer, the animation works, but then it doesnt push anything in its way downwards like in Steam Limitless installer. I can't figure it out. Thanks in advanced!

Music. Everything scales perfectly by 200%.
Launch the game (after successful installation).
Restarting (itself) the installation after a failed installation.
Deleting the game (if there is a key in the registry) before starting the installation.

Is it possible to add multiple app exe and components to the installer?

[Th3Raven]

Thank you for quick reply and update.

The only thing i can't see, and maybe will be added later, is how to add more desktop icons. For example for game collections or if the game have config and game exe as well. Either way, thanks once again.

Thank you so much for updating it this fast. Tested the desktop shortcut by adding 3 more shortcuts to the list and is working perfectly. I assume that now we can add as many redist, components (DLC, languages ) and shortcuts as we need. Thanks once again. Simple to use and clean installer.

[Th3Raven]

Sorry for disturbing again... I am just wondering if is possible, on the Froza installer, on the components to add a different install path... For example I have X game that install mods to the user docs folder and not in game directory...
The solution I use for now is to add it into files section of the script... is not elegant but will do for the moment.

instead of {app} use {userdocs}

    #ifdef Data1
      if FileExists(ExpandConstant('{src}\{#Data1Path}')) then
      begin
        ISArcDiskAddingSuccess:= ISArcExAddDisks(ExpandConstant('{src}\{#Data1Path}'), '{#DiskPassword}', ExpandConstant('{app}'));
        if not ISArcDiskAddingSuccess then
        break;
        ISArcExDiskCount:= ISArcExDiskCount + 1;
      end;
    #endif

    #ifdef Data1
      if FileExists(ExpandConstant('{src}\{#Data1Path}')) then
      begin
        ISArcDiskAddingSuccess:= ISArcExAddDisks(ExpandConstant('{src}\{#Data1Path}'), '{#DiskPassword}', ExpandConstant('{userdocs}'));

After working on Steam Limitless, this idea clicked my mind and ever since I've been working on it and always wanted to share. It's just I'm soo excited to share this piece of work with you all, well most of the code is reused from Steam Limitless. So, here is the stable version of my Epic Games Installer.

Please test it and feel free to report them back to me. Works best on 1080p 125% scale

Right now, you can have:
- Unlimited Redists
- DSG or Custom Tools support for extraction
- Promised Updates will be posted here in future

What's New:
- Different type of Files Verification
- Different type of Installation progress Bar and section.
- Custom created Font
- Custom created style file for all resolution support
- Custom Slideshow and Generic WebView file added

PS: Humble request to please not remove the watermark and link to my YT channel. This is going to be the final update of the installer. All updates included. Bug fixes will only happen if reported in future.

- Enable or disable the use of DSG depending on your choice (Thanks to @Cesar82 for making it DSG compatible)
- You can have as many AppExes (currently 4) and Data files
- You can have upto 50 Redist, 50 Additional Component and 50 Languages files each. Limited because I don't want anyone to abuse the resources but if you want to increase the capacity more, check here
- No need to make any changes to the script at all. The Installer.ini file inside the 'Game' folder supports everything, even Data, Redist, Component and Languages
- Play Page to directly play your game by selecting AppExe from installer
- Watch Game Trailer during installation.
- More Installer Upgrades

Benefits of the installer:
- Separate .iss to read the installer script.
- Code Optimized rendering of SidePanel component and Tab
- Code Optimized rendering of Redist, Component and Language creation
- Code Optimized for Shortcut Creation
- Code Optimized for Data, Component and Language file decompression
- Code Optimized for Post Install Redist Installation
- Script is independent of changes in number of max Data, Redist or additional component count. You can have as many as UI can support
- Better Error Handling
- Fixed a bug where missing Data File still proceeded with Installation.
- Variant of style.bin for FCheckbox (Thanks to @AgentV)

Check out the Automate folder for:
- MD5 verification of your files
- Automatically creating the .iss for importing list of Tools
- Automatically creating the .iss for extracting required tools during decompression

What is DSG (DiskSpan) compatibility?
The infamous DiskSpan compressor has been made compatible with this installer. Whether or not your compression was done using DSG, you can still extract your Data Files by:
Copying the Setup.dll in the Unpack > Decomp_DSG Folder

In case you don't know the compression method, open your Data#.bin with FreeArc and go to "INFO" > "Solid Blocks" tab to know exactly the name of the methods used.
Within the "Setup DLL" tab of the DSG, access the "Maker" sub-tab and paste the methods one on each line. Example:

xtool:mzlib+srep+lolz
xtool:bk2
xtool:mkraken:core_2.9.2

You can uncheck the split and diskspan checkboxes at the bottom of the window and click Create to create the Setup.dll file.
More Info DiskSpan GUI

PS: User also has an option to choose if they want to extract using their tools or DSG. In case they opt to choose their tools, they can put their files inside Unpack > Decomp_Custom > Tools.
And run, Automate > Create Tools List.bat and Create Tools Init.bat

This installer will have more upgrade if these pending requests are fulfilled.

Hi. Can you add function for search game folder and regedit. If game already installed, delete files

You can check from this project
