It would be a good Idea if you upload that image somewhere on a image upload site so we can actually see it.

Because you need archives to extract with the specified extension.

I have not understand it at first, but to answer your problem,
the Define Binary is the exe of your game.exe or program.exe,

for example my game im trying to repack is INSIDE, so in the main folder of INSIDE game there is INSIDE.exe (the game exe)

so you only have to put INSIDE.exe, and that's it:

#define Binary "INSIDE.exe" /* Type full path to EXE file */

so when it install/unpack, it will target that exe and create a shortcut for it on desktop if you check the create shortcut checkbox.

Most games have their exe in the main directory of the folder, if your exe is in a subfolder then type

#define Binary "Subfolder/INSIDE.exe" /* Type full path to EXE file */

"Subfolder" is your subfolder name.

Hello im new and have a problem. I have an .arc file of a steam game that i want to decompress and install via the script.

So my questions are where do i put the .arc file and what do i have to put in #define myextension ".bin" ?

I am a complete beginner that only started to read into this yesterday so i apologize! But thanks in advance

The script will decompress FreeArc archives, not random archives from games. Please ask about the archive format in the "Best Compression Methods for Specific Games" thread and we'll take a look and let you know what compression method is used and if there's a way to extract the archive.

Hi thanks for your answer!

I somehow managed to make it work. It was a FreeArc archive so i was messing around and just tried putting the .arc file into the include folder and it worked !

Hi and thank you for all the information shared. I'm new to this field so please be patient with me.

When trying to create installers for larger games (at least a couple of GBs) using the template provided, I need to enable disk spanning. However, the size of each bin file is at most ~2GB. I've been searching the forum for a workaround but have not found any. Is there any (easy) way to circumvent this? In a 10GB game it's no big deal, but for larger games it creates so many bins.
