I think that would have been clearer to you.

I just want to check the buttons he used and the codings in a readme file or in a notepad and also how he used the music equalizer with close and minimize option altogether. There is no pdf or proper instructions with screenshot available to learn how to use yener90's CIU V2. Evern CIU V2 is also not available.

to get all 3 buttons together he just uses same position ( top ) but then just spaces them together.
say the width is 20 ( all just an example )

equalizer would start top=500, left=500, then minimize top=500, left=525 ( first button + space+width of button ), last close top=500, left=550. ( second button + spsce + width of button ) ...

Top position depends on the size of the image of course...

hope this helps ?

Firstly, I can not give you CIU2, yener does not want it freely shared to the public. I made a promise to yener that I would not share it and I intend to stick to that promise. Sorry.

As for the Exit, Minimize and Equalizer all appearing to sit in the same rectangle box, well that is just an illusion. There is a simple way of tricking people to make it look like it is one button which does 3 different things.
The rectangle box they sit in is part of the background pic, See the pic below.
It is just a transparent image sitting on top of the background image. The 2 buttons and equalizers co-ordinances are configured so they sit inside that rectangle.

The Language box (the flags box) on the first image in my previous posts with the screenshots is done the same way, again its just a transparent box sitting on top of the background image, its all part of the same pic.

Hi Razor, hope your exams are finished and you did well. Now it is time for Installer Creator to be sorted and also create a new Installer Creator which will the best of all time. We know you can do it.

Working on Installer Creator v2.9

Installer Creator project has reached 150 thanks'
Thank you guys.

BTW English experts, what is the plural form for thanks, or it doesn't exist? How are about fish, will it be fishes?

[Razor12911]

Guys. I decided to start another project, I noticed that Installer Creator has a lot of bugs and some of them are kinda difficult to fix.
I have let you guys down but I will make it up to you guys, I will create something better than Installer Creator within a short period of time, maybe a week.
A fresh start is needed. Advanced Setup Creator will take over from here.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

[hydefromt70s]

Sad to hear that, but we keep our fingers crossed for a new, better project!

Please don't stop to cure Installer Creator 2.8

[Razor12911]

I will give you a full brief why this program cannot continue. I will send you a PM when I have time.

[Razor12911]

Yes.....

I am so excited, the program might continue, sorry guys but it is just that, XE3 failed to start, on whatever PC I used, with or without update, same problem and that prevented me to continue with Installer Creator, XE4, XE2 didn't work although they are very similar to XE3 but I finally got rid of the Access Violation error on start up of the program, I also managed to make both of the programs work if installed together.

And sorry guys especially thinkbigearnbig and thanks jamel2013 for helping me fix this problem.

[thinkbigearnbig]

It means you will be able to fix the Installer Creator 2.8 now?

[Razor12911]

Yep, but I will have to discard the v2.8 source and build up upon v2.7 beta's source.

@Everyone
What are your requests for v2.9?

[thinkbigearnbig]

Requests for v2.9
1. Want to use GIF file for SPLASH.
2. Should have options to put extra buttons manually.
3. Not only have to increase the size of the button as Width & Height, it should also have option to curve the button.
4. Music equalizer if possible.
5. Bring back the flag option to change the language.
6. We should have the option to select the background pictures to be moved, like dissolve or from top or left or right or faded.
7. Options to select few music for background. Like music 1 or 2 or 3.....
8. Gif image for button to use.

Just for now

When are we going to get the v2.7 beta with video option for background. I am waiting for that.

[Razor12911]

Anything that has to do with GIF can't be added. GIF in Delphi vcl can't be transparent in-case if you wanted to take the advantage of transparency, those regions will just be white.

And there are a few problems when you have NVIDIA GPU, there is a funny blur in text that remains and this never happens with Intel and AMD/ATI.

The language flags I can add but, they will be different.

Let me just say, above all, your requests can only be done in ASC. The curvity of buttons and anything else, not mentioned that can not be added will be added in v2.9

Hi Razor,
When are you going to upload the 2.7 beta file with video option?
