[CIUv3] Custom Installer Ultimate v3

[Kitsune1982]

Cesar, thank you for your assistance with my issue. I also discovered i indeed did not have all the proper codecs installed. i updated my klite mega codec pack and made sure LAV splitters and all required codecs were installed this time. i then replaced all the source setup and autorun files with my own including my downscaled mp3 and then tried to rerun setup and amazingly it worked!!
even turning off 'addDXFilter' in setup.ini did not return any errors plus i got the tiny setup exe size i wanted. thanks for your help, i never would have guessed it was me not having an updated codec pack installed.

PS - Here is the result of my downscaled mp3 size - Original in package: 14 mb for Music1.mp3 and MusicSI.mp3
After removing both and downscaling my autorun music to 64 bits and compressing pngs/wavs/etc, my music1.mp3 for a 1 min 12 sec clip was 504 kb and the output
setup.exe was 7 mb even with the proper encoder/decoders set up. cheers

[component1]
checked=1

i think the error is in the component number that both arc has the same component id 1 (check red color number):

[extractsettings]
arcfile1=setup1.cab;destdir:{app}\steamapps\common\final fantasy vii;type:arc;disk:1;comp:1
arcfile2=setup1nm.cab;destdir:{app}\steamapps\common\final fantasy vii;type:arc;disk:1;comp:1
arcfile3=setup1steam.cab;destdir:{app}\steamapps;type:arc;disk:1
arcfile4=setup1steamico.cab;destdir:{pf32}\steam\steam\games;type:arc;disk:1

i just tested and it works
thank you cesar82

Read the changelog news changes.
I didn't have time to run tests, so if a bug occurs, I'm sorry.

I included Inno Setup to facilitate the use of CIU without installing Inno Setup, just by executing the ".bat" file.

If everything is OK, you can post your conversions using this new version.
Thank you all!

hello my brother I thank you really very much for your efforts and your kindness with us.
thanks again

For information of the changes in DiskSpan_GUI 1.0.0.3 see the changelog file in the "COMPRESSOR" folder.

P.S: To use the new version of DiskSpan_GUI with CIU, first delete the old "COMPRESSOR" folder from the CIU source code folder and then add the "COMPRESSOR" folder contained in the attachment file (do not overwrite).

hi Cesar82 it seems to be a problem in this new version. i have compressed a collection of 2 games and when compressing data2.bin at the end of conversion give failure. only data1.bin is created. with diskspan_gui v1.0.0.2 same game same compresion method is finished. maybe you can take a look to see where is that mistake. games for conversion are euro truck simulator collection 1 and 2 method used srep_new+xtool2020 zlib+LZMA. by the way ETS 2 with latest update is aroud 11GB and with that method at the end is 4.6GB. thanks for your hard work


Problem solved with error at the end of compression. a fresh install of windows fixed it . maybe i do too many tests and here goes the problem. thanks again all members for your hard work

Send me the file "Resources\DS_Settings.ini" with your configuration of the conversion that is showing error that I will try to compress the game.

hi cesar82 i have attached a zip to look at these settings. maybe im doing wrong settings in this updates DISKSPAN_GUI. thank again for your hard work

It's not an error, and to disable creator mode, add ; before #define CREATOR, and it'll work Like this

Change this:
#define CREATOR
To this:
;#define CREATOR

P.S: Some changes will be in the beta 9 changelog, some will not.

HOTFIX CHANGES:
- Fixed bug of wrong caption on Next/Back buttons (Thanks Prettyboy099 for informing) mainly when running uninstall.exe (it displayed PAUSE where it should show UNINSTALL). 
- Changed FlagSpace= key in [LangBox] section to support two values (FlagSpace=<X>,<Y>) separated by comma in "box" mode.
- Disabled inclusion of DXFilters filters in CREATOR mode to speed up interim compilation.
- Added ISPP option (temporary) to disable IsMediaLib functions inclusion before compile Setup.exe.
  >> If you don't use videos in your conversion and want to avoid memory leak errors that occur in some random systems, enable line 8 of the script by removing the ";" to disable IsMediLib.dll.
  >> The song ".mp3" will still be played, but by the BASS.dll library.
- Removed the use of the "Default.ini" file that compared in the compilation and included the keys only if the value is different from the default in IniMemory.
>> The purpose of this defult.ini was to speed up the reading of the ini keys a little, but the access time difference was small and whenever I changed a key it was necessary to include it in default.ini, this became laborious.

i saw that the HF2 haver bugs for smalbutton left Picture is HF1 Script and right Picture is HF2 Script

If you find other bugs, please report them.
Thanks for the information.

Edit:
Hotfix 2 updated in previous post.
@mausschieber, if possible let me know if everything worked as it should.

now it work perfect

Nice work Cesar.

Are you sure the word 'retaliate' is the correct word you wanted to use?
Maybe 'autocorrect' is interfering?

'Retaliate' meaning:

to hurt someone or do something harmful to someone because they have done or said something harmful to you

Maybe he wanted to say "Reiterate this
