From Page 1


UPDATE 8.4.2
- Full freearc commandline support
-> Change PrecompVer=inside
-> to get perfect working, put the arc.ini, the file with that you compressed the files to the main folder of Setup.cab (like in example)
- Fixed Vietnamese language
- Updated Portuguese Brazil language (thx to kassane)
- Added SmallInstaller positioning to left down
-> SmallInstallerPosLD=1 (0 disables, 1 enables)

look to page 1 for full example

mikey26 setup.cab has all needed files already. All files I referred are used to prepare archives only, so should be placed in separated folder and after creating cabs can be deleted (you don't need to include it to CI)

Magnificent

just a small suggestion

add a function to add/modify registry values in the designer so it will make it easier for beginners

Thanks for the help ... Bamse

Some suggestion for yener90's Project:

1- add timer in during installation at title or somewhere.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2- integrate Setup.exe and Setup.cab and Setup.ini into one file. [Manual Compling]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

when i am using custom method with arc.ini including precomp,srep and external lzmax64 the CI 8.4.3 works great but the progressbar is not work reality, how i can fix it?

[lupetto77]

Bamse but I wanted to ask this row -mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8
that uses: low compression - normal - Maximum?
Can you explain a bit more in detail with explanation please?

[BAMsE]

-mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

means definition of compression method

-mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

means compressing with precomp (with parameters defined in arc.ini under [External compressor:precomp] section)

-mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

means additional parameter for precomp (which is not defined in arc.ini), in this case it's -v parameter

-mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

means compressing with srep (with parameters defined in arc.ini under [External compressor:srep] section), also here you can add parameters separated by ":"

-mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

means compression with lzma

-mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

means additional parameters for lzma, in this case -a1 -mfbt4 -d256m -fb128 -mc1000 -lc8


So as you can see it's really strong compression

Hum.. guys i'm trying to use the latest version with arc commandline but i've some problem!
I used this arc.ini

[External compressor:srep]
header = 0
packcmd   = srep {options} -m3f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep -d -s $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

[External compressor:precomp]
header = 0
packcmd   = precomp -intense0 -c- {options} -o$$arcpackedfile$$.tmp  $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = precomp -o$$arcdatafile$$.tmp -r $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

i put it on the root of Setup.cab (as in the example yener90 has given us).

Then i edit Setup.ini adding the precomp version used for compression (PrecompVer=0.42) and adding the code for Extractsetting, like this

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Setup-1b.arc;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;PrecSrep:0;Lang:it
FreeArcFile2={src}\Setup-1c.arc;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;PrecSrep:0;Lang:it
FreeArcFile3={src}\Setup-1d.arc;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;PrecSrep:0;Lang:it
FreeArcFile4={src}\Setup-1e.arc;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;PrecSrep:0;Lang:it

(i have doubts on PrecSrep value but i tested with 0 and with 1 and there are no differences!)

I have four archives compressed in this way (each line is an archive):

arc a -r -w.\ Setup-1b.arc -msrep+lzma:a1:d256mb:mfbt4:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "folder1\*"
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ Setup-1c.arc -mprecomp:zl11,68:d1+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "file1.test" "file2.test" "file3.test"
arc a -r -w.\ Setup-1d.arc -msrep+lzma:a1:d256mb:mfbt4:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "folder2\*" "file4.test"
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ Setup-1e.arc -msrep+lzma:a1:d256mb:mfbt4:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "file5.test"

During installation I always get an error (about decompression method) and I can't extract any archive.

edit: i thought the problem was my arc.ini (the "unpackcmd" command) but doing manual decompression with command line, arc works fine!
(for example, doing "arc x Setup-1c.arc" the extraction works fine. Obviously arc.exe, arc.ini, srep and precomp (and all dll needed) are in the same folder!)

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Bamse I did as you said ...
No one folder I put the files taken from the installation of arc.exe freeArc \ bin \ arc.exe (0.67), taken from the

folder setup arc.ini Yener, precomp 042 with its 3.0 SREP file and then I created the file . bat with written inside

echo off
cls
set choice1=
echo.
set /p choice1=Please type game folder path (e.g. c:\program files (x86)\BioWare\Mass Effect 3):
echo.
echo Creating archive files, please wait...
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8 "%choice1%\Binaries\*"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
echo.All done.
pause
goto EOF
:arcfail
echo.
echo.WARNING: FreeArc returns an error, please retry...
pause
:EOF

if using your parameter -mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8 gives me this error

I tried precomp.exe 042 04 038 but 'equal

could you pass the working files that you use please?

[Kurutucu]

Use this version of precomp. Version: 0.4.2

Did you write it like as you pasted here? If yes then delete the space between "l" and "c". The line of parameters is valid.

I know because I put in this

-mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

do not know why I added my own ...

[lupetto77]

Bamse I tried the command lines that you posted, it compiles but when I go to install I get this error ...



help on how I can solve this problem?

It's the same bug i had with my personal installer of Prototype2.
I don't know if it's the right way but i solved excluding (by comment) CLS-precomp.dll:

;Source: include\CLS-precomp.dll; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy

and

//ExtractTemporaryFile('CLS-precomp.dll');

My lines of code will be different from yours but these points should be respectively close to the lines 70 and 4930.

ps: Since you use the arc command-line, do you edit the line about precomp version on Setup.ini like this?

PrecompVer=inside

Try this way!

[lupetto77]

Thank you commenting the two lines as you said you now works great
