I've created a lot of game using your installer and everthing perfect, but I see a problem when I create Valkyria Chronicles. Compile proses can finish wihout any problem. But when I try to install the game, it always crash at the end of installation proses. After it created shortcut at desktop, then crash. So I have to stop it from task manager.
The game finish install, evething has installed completely. But cannot create uninstaller

Fyi : Valkyria contain more then 5000 files. I've tried to compare with other game which is never have a lot of files like this game. That's why I though maybe because of it.
I've tried to create from beginning with win 7, 8 & 8.1 and the result is same, crash at the end when trying to create uninstaller

probably, installer crashes when he makes a list of files and folders for deinstallation, thanks for info, unfortunately, now i can't fix this problem, but i will fix it when i have more free time.
P.S. you can try to use internal compression, there is no custom filelist creation.

It's alright, take your time
I am using internal compression, never use external compression because a bit confuse how to use it

already started to rewrite my lui.dll (graphics library for Game Installer), it's will be standalone (without layered.dll) with custom fonts support (temporary fonts, layered.dll supports only installed fonts), some animation effects for buttons + some cool effects for text(look on attached image )
first alpha will be in a few weeks (i have too little free time for it).

also, i will upload GID v1.6 tomorrow, with some fixes and changes (i will cut some abilities of designer for v2.0, and i will change installer interface in v2.0).

[altef_4]

GID updated to 1.6 , Changes

i was planning to make v2.0 after 1.5 release, but i have time only for some updates .

Is the "Uninstall Bug" fixed? (# 110)
######EDIT########
Hmm, tested with AC II including Registry and still no Finish Page. Uninstall Files won't be created.

Funny thing, I can't open Projects from v.1.6 (not from v1.5 or 1.6). Either the Designer does give me no feedback or get an Error. Anyway today I make a Conversion of AC Brotherhood and all works fine. Would be cool if anyone can tell me why it works now but not yesterday.

about update, i don't test it well, as i say many times - i haven't enough time for it
P.S. for updating your project file, try to open it and click save

After you have Design your Installer, Save your work!
Then click Export, Then Import the Exported File again. Now your on the Compile Window,click Compile, choose your Output Directory, then your Gamefolder to Compress.
It`s easy

При компиляции пропадают кнопки сворачивать и закрывать программу установки, не могу понять куда они деваются ( на картинке кнопки не вставил) после компиляции появляются именно такие оконца.. Чем поможете?
И еще есть одно проблема появляются 2 ошибки после установки игры сначала появляется установка 100 а затем Out of Range. Что за ошибки? Как от них избавиться?

this is new demo, that demonstrate some abilities of my updated lui.dll (probably i will rename it to luisa.dll(Layered UI Standalone) ), changes:
-now it's standalone(works without layered.dll, few things was taken from layered 0.1 source [DC]);
-added four text styles: NONE-simple text without effects; SHADOW-text with shadow; OUTLINE-text with 1-3 pixel outline;GLOW-text with glow effect;
-added support of custom fonts (fonts what not installed on system), can be loaded from file or memory;
-optimization of memory usage;
-and few new things in plans.

P.S. put any music file into folder with Text_And_Vis_Demo.exe with name Sound.mp3 and launch Text_And_Vis_Demo.exe.
