ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

This error I think is because you didn't replace the old script with the hotfix posted HERE.
Please advise if you still continue to display the compilation error after replacing the script with the hotfix.

Late response but yeah, the hotfix did work, forgot about that. Thanks Cesar.

2 more questions. How would I include a batch script into my setup, and run it out after decompression of the archives? I was looking at this method right here for MGSV and it needs said batch script to run after install to rebuild the chunk files. I do remember seeing a post on how to do it, but that was awhile ago and I didn't need it. Second question is, is there a way to make the script not have the ability to create/use Start menus at all? Someone mentioned to me that even if the "Don't create a start menu" button is checked, it still makes start menus.

Search ssPostInstall

In that section, put Exec2(ExpandConstant('{app}\mybatchfile.bat'))

Afair this is correct syntax.

Hii, at last version v7.3.1, how to create installer without record.ini file?

[KaktoR]

v7.3.4
_____________________________________________________
- Added UpdateMode
  > If enabled setup will not create uninstall files, icons or {app} folder
  > Exe check in Settings.ini is required to proceed to installation
  > Only aviable in compact mode
- Fixed MB label for some languages (thanks to Cesar)
- Added button sounds
- Fixed a bug which exits the installer if searching for a archive and if installer asks if to quit, you select "No" the installer quits (this)
  > The problem was a false ISDoneError boolean in function BrowseArcFile
- The MediaPlayer library is no longer required to play button sounds (thanks to Cesar for the hint)
- Some other things

v7.3.3
_____________________________________________________
- Added feature for folder deletion after uninstalling

v7.3.2
_____________________________________________________
- Some changes for DSG 2.0.0.5+
- Added Component key to [Executable#]'s

v7.3.1b
_____________________________________________________
- Corrected a few things in help file
- Added RunFromAppFolder= key for [CRCCheck] section
  > If set to 1, the Hash file will be read from {app} folder
    If set to 0, the Hash file will be read from {tmp} folder
- Added [Batch] section
  > With this you can run a defined batch file after Setup is done
- Fixed DiskSpaceImage (just a small pixel adjustment)

v7.3.1
_____________________________________________________
- ASIS is now fully compatible with DiskSpan GUI v2.0+ (thanks to Cesar82)
  > Old DiskSpan GUI versions aren't compatible anymore
  > You can still use your own archives with ASIS (make Setup.dll manually!)
  > ASIS is now x64 ONLY!
- Remade the Redists code part (thanks to Cesar82)
  > You can now use theoretical unlimited items for your Redists
- Added options for InternalDLL and PasswordDLL inside Script.iss
  > Putting Setup.dll next to the script will compress the DLL file into the Setup.exe file
  > Same password used in DiskSpan_GUI to extract decompressors from Setup.dll files
- Changed components (thanks to Cesar82)
  > The components are now exclusive for game collections
- Added Tasks (thanks to Cesar82)
  > With tasks you can define optional content to install for your installation, such 
    as languages, soundtrack, wallpapers, ... (this was the former components)
- It is now possible to use TXT and RTF files for EULA
- Changed the time remaining label
  > It will now be visible with more then one archive.
    Progress is now calculated according to the size of the arc generated by DiskSpan GUI.
    Example: If DiskSpan GUI generates 2 archives, the first 400 mb and the second 100 mb means 
    that the first archive will occupy 80% and the second 20%.
    So when extracting arc1, 0.80 will be passed in the second parameter (PctOfTotal) of IsDone's 
    IsArcExtract function. For the second file 0.20 will be sent.
    If you don't have the sizes in Records.ini, it will be divided by the number of files, which is 0.50/0.50.
    If you don't use DiskSpan GUI for generating records.ini, you can do it manually (like with records.inf)

Records.ini is needed.

However you can include Records.ini file into Setup.dll file.

Hello to all friends, as always I thank in advance all the work you do you are always super!

Here I list the various errors found and some changes made.

ASIS 7.3.1B - Works great.

ASIS 7.3.1C UPDATE - DOES NOT work, in practice the installation continues and after it has finished the extraction it says that it has been completed BUT in reality it does not install and does not extract any type of file leaving only the uninstall folder, in addition it seems which hangs in windows activities for a while.
__________________________________________________ ________________

In ASIS 7.3.1B I can not install only what you select, as in a screenshot in practice if I select only 3 languages ​​and do not flag the rest of the language packs ASIS installs them the same, I understand that in the "Records. ini "I have added them but how can you make a system that the user chooses what to install and which not even if the pack languages ​​are present?
(in Windows Phone Installer, this type of problem does not exist) could ASIS be extended or at least in some way modified, which more or less has the same function? it would be an incredible turning point, I know it is an abnormal request but it would really be the best.

Thanks for everything and sorry my english i used google translate. xD

You have to define the components/tasks in records.ini

Example:

Task2.Name=cm:EN
Task2.ItemType=CHECK
Task2.File=1
Task2.Size=1 mb
Task2.Level=1
Task2.Checked=1
Task2.Enabled=1

Task3.Name=cm:IT
Task3.ItemType=CHECK
Task3.File=1
Task3.Size=1 mb
Task3.Level=1
Task3.Checked=1
Task3.Enabled=1

-----------------------------

[Record2]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\Italian.TEST
Output={app}\
Disk=1,2
Task=3 //Task=3 because italian language in Settings.ini is Task3

[Record3]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\English.TEST
Output={app}\
Disk=1,3
Task=2 //Task=2 because english language in Settings.ini is Task2

Hi KaKtoR, I did as you told me and also corrected the numbers that I had previously busted, but the installer freezes and remains locked until I close it from activities .. this is the file I corrected, and that's the screenshot of how it is now... What am I doing wrong? :'(

I see. Installer extracts the archives to {tmp} folder instead of {app}. Will fix this asap.

So is it an extraction error? I without making the changes that is to add Task = 1 etc. etc. made me extract, what do you mean is for the new updated version that is the 7.3.1C?

[KaktoR]

Well archives will be extracted but to wrong folder.

I tested it now with your archives and it seems to work (only selected files will be extracted).

Here is a workaround for it.

I tried bro, to try to clear 4 or 5 languages and lasciane active only 3 or 4 you'll see that the installer crashes, and here I could not tell you what the problem is when I inserted Task=2, etc, etc, etc) and when I want to select only 1 of the tongue me installs them all equally... I don't get it done and I don't understand where I'm wrong unfortunately, thanks always for everything bro and sorry if I'm wasting your time.

Sorry for that, it was a mistake on my part when assembling the code.
I will have to fix this in all scripts supported by DiskSpan GUI (Including DSG Extraction Tool).

FIX: Change in script the variable name from "StrLine" to "TmpStr" in line 4029.

It should look like this after changing it.

Delete(TmpStr, 1, Pos(Separator, TmpStr));

I didn't do tests to check if it is extracting the selected files correctly.
Please report it if it is not working properly.

It works here (after apply the fix from Cesar above).
