and allways i have conversion error when i compile my Conversions.
conversions are packed but when i Install it, it breaks without an error.
my System is Win8.1 64 Bit. and i start with Compatibily mode win 7, and Adminrights.

well for one left picture, you still have freearc button clicked. choose the winrar button & correct options will be there. i was using 8.1 x64 & never ser compatibility mode, no need to.

Winrar was removed i think, from the version that i have from _Tools folder.

About the error when install, you specified the compression methods in External Compression.ini that will be compatibly with the compiled Setup.exe?

[External Compressor]
#Define SrepInside "N"   ;O, N

;; ------ Precompressors ------- 
#Define ZTool "DUAL"
#Define XTool "DUAL"
//#Define AFR "019"   ;019, 020
//#Define UELR

;; ----- For Media Streams -----  
//#Define MSCInside "TAK"
//#Define MPZSlimmer
//#Define OGGRE
#Define BPK "DUAL"

;; ----- Final compressor ------  
//#Define SevenZip "DUAL" 
//#Define RAZOR
//#Define LOLZ
//#Define ZSTD "DUAL"
//#Define DLZ

//#Define Rar

;-----------------------------------------------------;
; All x64 Tools are now compatible with DUAL mode as: ;
; #Define SevenZip                                    ;
; #Define SevenZip "x64"                              ;
; #Define SevenZip "DUAL"                             ;
;-----------------------------------------------------;

Winrar executable was removed because it's actually pirating software (you need a serial for this). From the Ultraarc gui Winrar was not "removed" but just set to invisible. CIU has winrar also but only dll for unpacking which is free to use anyway

If hee were missing a compressor he used in ultraarc, setup would tell him (isdone.dll unsupported compression method error -11 i think)

fabioddq, BPK has no DUAL mode BTW

only ztool,xtool,zstd,7zip

lolz has both x86 and x64 executables (i think we forgot to add a mode in CIU script. the script will add both at the moment)

mausschieber, is this problem only with a certain method or with all methods? try to look in "windows event viewer\windows protocols\applications" + timestamp when setup has closed. the only poblem i encountered so far was a wrong capital-/lowercase for xzlib + that ciu progress bar percentage have a strange progress when you use the lzma2/xz settings from current ultraarc (but it is just because of the settings)

go to _Tools\Diskspan, there are 2 versions + help.txt for each. basically alternate is for different compression types for each archive.

Original version is for one type, which you can modify be editing the bat file.
also allows components ( uses different bat file, in same folder.)

The conversion output folder is where you add your setup* files .

pretty easy once you've done one.

It's something on your end. Have you tried older CIU versions?
