This is a general error message; be more specific.

1.) Well maybe it is,but before compressing the installer of game was perfectly working in both xp and 7 but now it is only working in win7[i have dual windows].

2.) before ,with original installer the game was not giving this error but now it gives in xp. [i have installed the game in 7 and its working there but not on xp].

well thats my problem..........

Also one more thing.- Do i have to keep those leftover files like compress.bat,levels1,levels2,etc. the files outside Disks 1,2,3,4 folders.

You should ask this to peterf himself because CI you used belongs to him

AFAIK, you can't edit current installation files to add DX.

You need cab for backgrounds. You can do internal setup and merge cab and exe tho.

Use this compression.

best compression

ARC -m0
PRECOMP038 -slow
SREP -m3f
ARC -mrep:800mb+lzma:800mb+delta+exe

All video formats use compression so movies are poorly compressed with archivers. Only way to shrink their size is to recompress them. vb6 is some mp4 container so it'll be quite complicated.

I am trying to add the video for my duke nukem to my custom installer, yet no matter what I try it simply will not work.

I Downloaded it from youtube in mp4 format, then used any video converter to convert it to avi format, and finally renamed it to "Video" and then put it in the backgrounds folder.

Is there something I am missing?

-I Originally posted this in the support section, i think that may have been the wrong place. If it is, please just delete or ignore that question.

Yeah, I've already seen those settings and tried them.

Any video converter doesn't have the exact setting though, so I get them as close as possible.
The only differences are in "Video Bit Rate" - which is 2000kbs, and "Audio Bitrate" - which is 192kbs.
The formats (Xvid, Mp3, Avi etc.), and the audio sample rate are all exactly the same.

Will I have to use that specific converter?
And if so - what is it's name?
