Tutorial using CI 8.0.0

[pakrat2k2]

all exe's are in same folder Game\Bin ?

[Pirate Ted]

yes all exe's are in The Sims 3\Game\bin\TS3.exe
The Sims 3\Ambitions\Game\bin\TS3EP02.exe
The Sims 3\Fast Lane Stuff\Game\bin\TS3SP02.exe
The Sims 3\Generations\Game\bin\TS3EP04.exe

[pakrat2k2]

then each path has to point to the correct folder for each exe.

MyExecutableIconName=The Sims 3
MyExecutableName=TS3.exe
MyExecutablePath=The Sims 3\Game\bin
//The Sims 3 Ambitions
MyExecutableIconName2=The Sims 3 Ambitions
MyExecutableName2=TS3EP02.exe
MyExecutablePath2=The Sims 3\Ambitions\Game\bin
//The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff
MyExecutableIconName3=The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff
MyExecutableName3=TS3SP02.exe
MyExecutablePath3=The Sims 3\Fast Lane Stuff\Game\bin
//The Sims 3 Generations
MyExecutableIconName4=The Sims 3 Generations
MyExecutableName4=TS3EP04.exe
MyExecutablePath4=The Sims 3\Generations\Game\bin

hope it helps

The problem here: http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p...&postcount=376 is exists furthermore but i have a new problem:

I am using this script to compress my files:

arc a -lc8 -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ Data\Data1.cab -mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

Precomp version is 0.43.

and changed the values in setup.ini to this:

[ExtractSettings2]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;PrecSrep:1

But still when I run the setup it doesn't install anything. What am I doing wrong?

I cant get the extraction to work at all. The setup just say installation finished without giving me a error. When i see the files in program files nothing has been installed.

@alley_u2

What version of CI you are using?

The latest one i.e 8.5.7.4

The thing is the setup is not giving me a error at all. I dont know what i am doing wrong. I previously used to work with blackbox script provided in this forum. Its like this script is not executing the extraction process at all.

[Fabioddq]

You are using the old parameters. The current parameters are:
Add on Setup.ini in:

[InstallOptions]
PrecompVer=inside

And in:

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2;

Depends how many Data.cabs and DVDs you have.

[alley_u2]
