Windows Phone Installer (WPI)

Hi!

Evereything is working for me except I can not get disk spanning to work tried nearly everything. Here is the error


I also discovered that when I insert the disk 1 again it completes succesfully but it does not extract the second archive

Here is my compression method
arc a -lc8 -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ "Data.bin" -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8 "D:\compress\*"

Thanks in Advance!

Look at post #45 screenshot, it will easily tell why you DONT have disk spanning working properly. You have to set disk #, with the archive name, for the second disk.

IE:
Archive1Source={src}\data1.cab
Archive1Output={app}
Archive1Disk=1
Archive2Source={src}\data2.cab
Archive2Output={app}
Archive2Disk=2

see the difference?

I have it setup exactly as you said and it is not working same error as before...Maybe I have messed up somewhere else...Let me give a little bit more detail...

So I have script setup as you said.
On cd 1 I have:
Start.exe
autorun.ini
Redist --> with all redists inside
Data-1.bin --> compressed with:

arc a -lc8 -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ "Data.bin" -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8 "D:\compress\*"

Cd 2 is the same only that I have Data-2.bin

And also what exactly is Setup-1.bin, I get only 1 for 2 cds... I probably messed up somewhere here.

Thanks in Advance!

Razor bro can i put Remaining time option in it ?????

Since a friend of mine asked me if I can add internal Inno compression to WPI (because he don't want to mess with freearc/precomp/ect...) I tried and I succedeed.

Keep in mind that internal compression is LESS effective than external but easier to manage (spkanning, Slice size, ect...) and of course quicker to compress/decompress.

Internal compression is enabled by default in this script.
To enable external compression, just change this line :

#define External 0

to

#define External 1

I will assume you can manage internal compression options, just modify them in the script to your preferences. Read Inno online manual for more informations.

I made a try with the game Fairy Fencer F, a small game (~5GB) and I ended up with a ~2.41GB bin files (lzma2/ultra64) while external compression ended up with ~2.08GB (FreeARC: precomp, msc, srep, exe, exe2, delta, lzma) bin file.

Here are some screenshots of the installer, for fun

Download the latest version (with french translation), I fixed this error in it and forgot to fix previous version. Don't worry it's in english by default and it also have internal compression support

Testing all settings take time, much time and i also still unfamilliar with Freearc options, when use them, when not.

@all:
Here is a fully french translated version of WPI (No lockscreen with internal compression support).

By default it's still in english, to change language, simply change this line at the bigining of the script :

#define Language "us"

to

#define Language "fr"

Here is a preview of the result :


If you want to add your translation, it's structurated like this :

#if Language == "fr"
#define text1 "Démarage"
...
#endif
#if Language == "us"
#define text1 "Start"
...
#endif

Just refer to english text and translate each variable.

Since I'm still new to Inno and script language I could not direct translate some sentences because the sentence build is not the same from english to french, for example this english sentence :

Welcome to {#AppName} Installer Wizard

is translated like this in french :

Bienvenue sur l'assistant d'installation de {#AppName}

As you can see, {#AppName} is not located at the same place so for this type of sentences I added if loop in the code...I know it's dirty but I did not found how to keep {#AppName} as a variable, not a simple string, uninterpreted by the compiler.

If someone know please tell me and I will update the script so you will be able to translate each text without messing with the code

You can do it yourself if you want only cosmetic change. If you REALLY want to change it you will have to also modify the mathematical formula razor used to determine installation progress.

I personally see no use to do it. If you want accurate game size in MB, simply use Compressor 2.2, it show the game size in MB (next to input size), just copy/paste it in the script and you're good to go.

sorry error n2

You forgot to provide an icon file, for example for Fairy Fencer F, icon file was in the folder Icons next to the script so I made it like this, in the begining of the script :

;Setup File Icon
#define IconFile "Icons\FFF-02.ico"

If your icon is in the same folder (no subfolder) than the script just change it like this :

;Setup File Icon
#define IconFile "name_of_the_icon.ico"

Check the Color= line under the [Theme] section of the script.
