hmm, try deltree, but it's doesn't make sense.

[danswano]

all files that are not copied to {pf} folder are not registered in the uninstall script, how to register them?

[Razor12911]

ask altef_4, he knows this. he did it with a filelist thingy.
but this is how you set it up.
DelTree(ExpandConstant('{userdocs}\Criterion Games'), True, True, True);

or something like this, now listen, I have a feeling that it's not a good idea of using deltree, so best to ask him.

[danswano]

hehe, will wait a little bit before PMing him, he might see it and reply.

1 - CI is a custom installer created by yener90, CIU is the advanced custom installer created by yener90, CI Conv CIU is CI Converted to CIU

2 - it depends on the files you are compressing.

3 - rather use srep compression or resample them

4 - gdf is the game binary, it shows and adds details of a the game in the registries and game explorer, gdf maker makes gmae binaries.

5 - it's the tasks the installer/setup should do.

6 - final files are autorun/setup.dll, setup.ini, setup.exe and setup.cab but you can use internal to make it autorun/setup.dll and setup.exe

[3rabGamers]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

2 - it depends on the files you are compressing.U

How ? Can you explain more with examples of games sizes and types please ?

4 - gdf is the game binary, it shows and adds details of a the game in the registries and game explorer, gdf maker makes gmae binaries.

Is this important to use it when I repack a game ?

6 - final files are autorun/setup.dll, setup.ini, setup.exe and setup.cab but you can use internal to make it autorun/setup.dll and setup.exe

Yeeeeees HOW ? compile using innoscript ? or ?

2 -Repack teams and conversion makers use various softwares to bring down the game file sizes, the delete unwanted languages to make the game even smaller and they resample sounds and video.

[huavancuong098]

I am having problems using the CIU, I do not understand why when I switch from CI to CIU do not have the command line as Instal or play. Can you help me?

To compress files, you need the best compressor, nanozip is the best but kinda difficult to use therefore use the second best, freearc.

Freearc involves a variety of external compressors like precomp, srep, tak and etc just find out what they do and how the work.

Now to compress a game, you need to check first what you are compressing. else it will be waste of time and resources, if you are compressing videos, sounds and already compressed files like fifa files (.big files), you'll hardly notice the difference therefore, if you are compressing something that can easily deflate, the results will be outstanding.

5 - hmm, It is and it's not, your choice.

6 - Read the tutorials in yener90 thread.

@huavancuong098

be specific, I don't get it.

[huavancuong098]

the problem is not with the button as play or instal or exit. When I used to perform CI desgin autorun file but the button is there, but when it comes to CIU, it is no longer the button anymore. Can you help me?

[Razor12911]

that has happened to my installer when I down clocked my processor to 933mhz and rams to 300mhz, else if your pc is faster than that check the setup.ini because I think they are not the same compared from CI to CIU

[huavancuong098]

So can you help me how to create one setup file is not the same as you. I am having problems in creating one piece setup like yener90 not. Because I saw the set of his very beautiful!

[Razor12911]

like create a script from scratch?

[huavancuong098]

Yes, I want to make one like him installer, how do I get the button out of him as being like that?
