ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[Masquerade]

I was wondering if it's possible to change the button placement in compact mode? I'm having a little play around with the layout and I can move everything so far except from the install, pause and cancel buttons. Is there something I'm missing?

  PauseButton := TNewButton.Create(WizardForm);
  with PauseButton do
  begin
    Parent  := WizardForm;
    Left    := ScaleX(10);
    Top     := ScaleY(310);
    Width   := ScaleX(225);
    Height  := ScaleY(23);
    Caption := ExpandConstant('{cm:Pause}');
    OnClick := @PauseButtonClick;
  end;

Here's an example. According to the above config, the button should be larger and on the left instead of the right, however ther button still appears in the top right.

I extended the installer slightly to 500 (Y) value, so that's why the button can go lower than the normal compact mode window.

Is there some kind of lock on the button / or can buttons not be resized or moved?

Been playing with the new [Executable] section in the INI file however there's a couple things:

- The desktop shortcut always is written to be the default path instead of the chosen install path. If my default is {sd}\Games in [Extract Settings] but I change the path in the installer to a different Drive or folder, the shortcut will still get written as c:\games instead iof the user chosen path.

- Desktop shortcut is always created despite checkbox being unticked.

- This path confusion may also lead to the CRC check not working as intended - when running a CRC check, all files are printed as "Not found" when the files have extracted properly to the user chosen path. Wirthout a way of seeing where the installer is looking to check the files, I can't confirm that there's a link between this and the path confusion. My CRC MD5 file did work because I ran it in the install directory and everything verified correctly.

There are two different PauseButton.

One for NormalMode, the other for CompactMode.

The button for compactmode is on line 3190

I ripped out the Wizard Creation for Normal Mode because I didn't need it, the remaining wizard creation part is the lines for Compact mode (lines beginning with the notation /* BEGIN Compact Mode Wizard Creation */). I removed the ELSE statement.

So for me the Wizard Creation starts at 1938 however with the Normal mode section, it would begin at 2807 I do believe.

Edit: the above mentioned Code snippet is located on line 3092

Search for CurPageID = wpWelcome

The pausebutton will be changed there too (this is ridiculous, I will change this too in next version). This settings will be higher priority then the first in initialize wizard.

I managed to get everything sorted, this is how it's looking currently:



I'd like to add an image at the top, so I added this code (taken from the About section of the newest release):

Do you know how I could add an image to the top section? I tried using code snippets from the 7.1.7H release about section:


This went in after the //Begin Creation// notation:

ExtractTemporaryFile('image.bmp');
  LogoImage := TBitmapImage.Create(WizardForm);
  with LogoImage do begin
    Name             := 'LogoImage';
    Parent           := WizardForm;
    Left             := ScaleX(5);
    Top              := ScaleY(5);
    Width            := ScaleX(373);
    Height           := ScaleY(149);
    //Bitmap.AlphaFormat := afDefined;
    Bitmap.LoadFromFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\image.bmp'));
    ReplaceColor := $0000ff
    ReplaceWithColor := WizardForm.Color
  end;

I also added this to the procedure InitialiseWizard section:

LogoImage: TBitmapImage;

However I cannot get the image to appear. I tried adding:

WizardForm.LogoImage.Show;

And:

WizardForm.LogoImage.Hide;

To dictate whether the image should be there or not in wpWelcome and wpInstalling etc...

However that returns the issue Missing Identifier LOGOIMAGE.

I wonder if you know about adding more images? I don't have any in the about section, I replaced that area of code with text from 7.1.4b.

@Masquerade
try removing WizardForm. from lines:
WizardForm.LogoImage.Show; >> LogoImage.Show;
WizardForm.LogoImage.Hide; >> LogoImage.Hide;

The script now compiles which is great, thanks for the info.

Only now when running the script:



The image is in .bmp format at a size of 460x77 (the window size is larger than this.

@Masquerade
Send me your src code

[KaktoR]

I have added the update to first post.

Nothing really new, just update help file and removed unneccessary code.

[KaktoR]

For the shortcuts...
Just add this to both issp code lines

""";"
to
"""; Check: CreateIcons;"

I have forgot this

I will look at the path and crc check later (I think I will copy it to app instead).

PS: The shortcut problem is the INI setting. I will remove this (this gave me already headache in the past). I have to look how to use WForm.DirEdit(TEdit) input into ispp.
Edit: I don't think this is possible with ispp. ispp will be executed and written on compile. Impossible to change it afterwards.

Here is a fix for the shortcuts (thanks to Cesar).

It appears that there are modified AFR_x32 and AFR_x64 files in the newest version. After compiling and running the setup on ACUnity (As I've told You It unpacks properly on AFR 020 x64) there is an error -11 on the beginning. I've copied the files I've used for compression and the error dissapears.

[shakhnaften]

hello is there a way to use inno internal compression?

[KaktoR]

No, not yet.
