UltraARC for Inno Setup (Conversion Tool)

[ahmedwaill]

Hello, bro is there a way to use Inno setup (IBlack_Style_ultraarc) without the records.ini ?! i've been searching but didn't find anything bout it ..
hope you can help, thanks in advance

-Edit: Never Mind i've managed to do it somehow , but unfortunately i can't make the Remaining Installation time now in Format like 00:00:00:00 it can be made only like 4 Minutes ...etc

-Edit2:Well Ultra Arch got issue when compressing as "srep" it always fails to create the compressed file .
As you can see in Picture :

As for "Precomp" the installer can't unpack it it gives Error while unpacking

Hi, can you please share how you have managed to use inno without the records.ini? I think the getini strings can be changed to fixed values or something else. Im only some days using inno and the compression tools so i didnt look much into this but would be nice if you can share your findings.

Also i had a little problem on this last UltraArc build, i dont know if it only happens to me but i had a very strange problem with XTool/Zstd on this pack. It starts fine and it looks like its working but the ratio is 100%. Apart from that it overloads the cpu. So what ive done was downloading XTools and overwrite the lib files and the exe files. Now its working fine. I tested this with ME Andromeda with the Xtool Zstd libraries. I dont know if there was the same problem with zlib. As i said, this happens to me and i really dont know if it happens to anybody else.

Hello Everyone,

I use ISFreeArcExtract v.4.2 Script for Inno

What Settings i need to use with UltraARC 2900 R5 Stable Release?

I have try Precomp+SREP+LZMA+LOLZ but it not work, is work only with LZMA...

I just whant to use the better compression possible for this script, thank!

You have to include all the CLS, Arc.ini settings and decompressors into the script and let them unpack when install begins (or before).

I dont have ARC.INI in the script include files

I have replace the 2 CLS-Precomp.dll CLS-SREP.dll

I will try that, but can you help me more? Im a little noob with the arc script, is my first try...

Here is attached script...

Try this. lolz work now.

See what i have done in two scripts to understand what to do if you like to add new unpack things.

PS: LZMA+LOLZ doesn't make sense, both are final compressors. Use either LZMA or LOLZ alone, not both at same time.

Haha!

Sorry, i dont know all the compression format, is all new for me, i have alway use LZMA/MAX from inno in the past, what do you suggest me for best result? Precomp+SREP+LZMA?

EDIT: Most important, forgot to say THANKS!

has anyone else gotten this error message ?

Getting this error when i start ultraARC

"Access violation at address 007C18F8 in module 'UltraARC.exe' . Read of address 000003B8"

It has been reported but just wondering if any other users have seen this issue at all ?

Have re-downloaded the archive from first post, just incase local copy here was corrupt.

Nope. The only message I got last time was that cls srep thing what Simorq noted.

[Midnights]

I have just try PRE+SREP+LZMA, and it not working...

All the time i select SREP or Precomp, the installer not work... ??

EDIT: LOLZ (Only) work great!
