@GummyBear yes there is a script that works just fine, its on the first page, it has several installers in it so choose the one you like. if you still want the fitgirl installer then look for the fitgirl script. this is currently my favourite script.

A false screen pops-up for a few second and disappears every time the Setup.exe file is run. This was not happening in the 14th May or older version.

This issue is still happening in FMXInno [21-May] for all types of forms, at all resolutions and in both Inno Setup version, that is, 6.3.0 and 5.6.0

Please add the Cursor method for the FColorButton component.

I also have this problem, a white square appears briefly on blankform. There is no such problem with imageform.

Windows gets new updates regularly, and i've upgraded to the newest version of RadStudio, so anything could be affect this. this is the best optimization that i can do on my part. if it doesn't work, then i can't do anything about it.

check the attachment.

Added the 'cursor' property for custom blueprints.



InnoSetup 6.3.0 Dev:

* Compiled with the latest source code (2024-May-26).

* Added missing help files.

* Corrected custom syntax highlighting.
  -- In the previous build, i might have done something wrong. this build will fix it.

I still need help with this
Earlier to read AppName from .ini file we used to:

#define AppName ReadIni(SourcePath + "Game\Installer.ini", "Installer", "Name", "")

[Setup]
AppName={#AppName}

Is it possible to do it using the new FNewINI command like:

[Setup]
AppName=ANewInI.ReadString('Installer', 'Name', '')

AppName=ANewInI.ReadString('Installer', 'Name', '')

this tool is the CLI version of 'FNewINI' and can be used for preprocessing and automating everything at compile-time.

in the attachment, you'll find a simple example of how to read and configure the setup with the following INI file.

Hi @Blackfire,

It is good that we now have a preprocessor for Read INI, but personally I think that we only need that to pass {#AppName} and {#DirName} at the compile time during the setup creation process. Rest everything can be handled without preprocessor. The FNewINI is written well enough. Please consider an example I shared above for Icons creation. It is easy to read, has a common procedure for all AppExe, less code, has ability to add more parameters in future and doesn't use preprocessor. You can definitely enhance and add to FMXInno (if you feel)

If I have to use the preprocessor only, I'd rather use the older reliable method. But, thank you so much for the enhancements.

I'd be posting more on Redist installation handling and Data extraction handling. I'm coding and testing on them.

I've an almost complete version of code where the user doesn't need to write any code at all for creating selective components. It's in my 'Random_Gamertags' Repack.

I've almost completed changes and currently testing this with new FNewINI

Hi @Blackfire,

Not sure if you remember I asked how can I have just 1 character space instead of Tab Space for FCombineText, and you mentioned it can be done using 0 or -1, -2, etc. The problem is, it is not working for Smaller Font Size like 12-15. The two texts are not on same height and the gap is unusual. On Larger Font Size, like 16, it is working as expected. Can you help?

SectionText[1].FCreate(SectionContent[1].Handle, 500, 15, 'Developers :', INI_DEVELOPERS, -1, False);
SectionText[1].Text1Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#FontColor}, False);
SectionText[1].Text2Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#SelectedFontColor}, False);

SectionText[2].FCreate(SectionContent[1].Handle, 500, 35, 'Genre :', INI_GENRE, -1, False);
SectionText[2].Text1Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#FontColor}, False);
SectionText[2].Text2Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#SelectedFontColor}, False);

Hi @hitman @Blackfire

Thank you. I tried and have to manually align the text for this. However, in Smaller Font Size (like 12-15), the two text still doesn't seem to be aligned height-wise. Any fix for it?

  SectionText[1].FCreate(SectionContent[1].Handle, 500, 15, 'Developers :', INI_DEVELOPERS, -1, False);
  SectionText[1].Text1Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#FontColor}, False);
  SectionText[1].Text2Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#SelectedFontColor}, False);
  SectionText[1].Text1HorzAlign(txTrailing);
  SectionText[1].Text2HorzAlign(txTrailing);

  SectionText[2].FCreate(SectionContent[1].Handle, 505, 35, 'Genre :', INI_GENRE, -1, False);
  SectionText[2].Text1Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#FontColor}, False);
  SectionText[2].Text2Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#SelectedFontColor}, False);
  SectionText[2].Text1HorzAlign(txTrailing);
  SectionText[2].Text2HorzAlign(txTrailing);

  SectionText[3].FCreate(SectionContent[1].Handle, 500, 55, 'Release Date :', INI_RELEASE_DATE, -1, False);
  SectionText[3].Text1Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#FontColor}, False);
  SectionText[3].Text2Setting('{#FontName}', 12, {#SelectedFontColor}, False);
  SectionText[3].Text1HorzAlign(txTrailing);
  SectionText[3].Text2HorzAlign(txTrailing);

Another issue: InstallFMXFont sometimes hangs the launch of Setup.exe during Runtime.
