You dont need to.
Autorun.ini is not required.
it will continue read from Setup.ini

how to auto launch after install game E.g: Settings.exe

Tools to design buttons ?
How do I add remaining time to my installer ?

[mikey26]

Tools to design Buttons = imagination (best tool) and photoshop.

Thanks Mikey.


How to add remaining time like (peter's CI) has done ?



Can someone give code & explain it (Precomp+Srep+FreeArc) for high compression ?

Did you even tried it out?
it already supports it.

Thanks Yener90,for creating this CI.

I used it but I was able to compress a 100 Mb game to 88 Mb only,but I saw 50-60% compression ratios from others using same method but the code and data might not be same.So,I need code for good compression ratios and explain it,so that I don't trouble every time.

Depends about the game.
Some games (ex Dead island with all dlc has around 7-8 gigs but compressed with INNO gets around 3 gigs -eng only-) and other games (ex latest transformers can' be compressed more than already is).
even if you use Srep; Precomp, etc you won't get a noticeable difference.

oh and yener's CI has a moderate compression selected (for best compression use Lzma2/Ultra64 settings)

Thanks,I'll work with different game,may be I can notice the difference.

During Installation it is giving a message insert disc 1.I used Precomp,so I added "PrecompVer=038" to "Install Options" and my Extraction Settings are
"FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1 ;PrecSrep:1".

What went wrong ?

[pakrat2k2]

precompver=038 needs to be precompver=0.38

was discussed earlier in thread --> http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p...&postcount=166

Thanks Yener installed the game at last,but I have a question should I include .cab game file while compiling or not,if not what should be written here
#ifdef ProgramFiles
Source:D:\Data1.cab; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs; Excludes: unins*; Check: FreeArcError;
#endif

[kassane]

If I compress with FreeArc using this code

-ld1600

has a problem with the CI Yener?

dont edit any of the script.
edit Setup.ini if you want to let Data1.cab extracting.

Hi Yener is it possible to compress data as arc,precomp,srep,cab and include it in .bin and at time of installation extract .cab from .bin and script should also extract srep and precomp files,which at last gives required data in required directory.
