This happens when I check "Launch [game]" after the install is finished. The desktop shortcut works though

"Internal error: CallSpawnServer: Unexpected response: $0"

See if the line given below does not contain ";" before the line, or if you correctly set the path to the game's executable relative to the {app} installation folder.

#define GameExec "bin\game.exe"

Language selection has skin, but now if some are not defined there is blank space in it's place

Sorry about that.

In the [Languages] section of the script, simply enter the text highlighted in red color below (on script line 294 here).

#sub CreateLangList
  #if defined(LangSection) && (FileLine != "") && (Pos(";", FileLine) != 1) && (Pos("[", FileLine) != 1)
    #expr LangList[Count] = FileLine
    #expr Count++
  #elif Pos(LowerCase("[Languages]"), LowerCase(FileLine)) > 0
    #define public LangSection
  #endif
#endsub

Thank you for responding! Yes, it does not contain a ; before the line but still didn't work. In the end I found that adding "runascurrentuser" to the flags made it work. Hope this helps anyone who had the same problem I did.

Added Light Installer Script 1.0.1.0 in first post.

- Added support for Persian (Farsi) language to Light Installer Script (Thanks to Gehrman for collaboration). 
- Added support for skinsharp skins (SkinH.dll library by Shegorat) to Light Installer Script. 
  >> The library of the skinsharp does not support special characters like cyrillic characters.
  >> So languages like Russian and Japanese and Persian should get broken using skinsharp.
- Fixed some minor bugs.

PS: SkinSharp skins only work if compiling with Inno Setup 6.0 or higher.

Hello, I would like to ask how I could make the setup remember the folder I install my games in, like FitGirl's?

The default is C:\Program Files, but for example I change it to D:\Games. I want the installer to remember so that the next game I install, it will default to that directory instead of going back to C.

FitGirl installers look for the next drive other than the drive the system is installed on and always install the game in a "Games" subfolder.
It doesn't memorize your last choice, it always installs in a "Games" folder and on the same drive.
Even if you choose "E:\My Games", assuming the system is installed on the "C:" drive in the next install it will suggest "D:\Games" as in the first install (Correct me if I'm wrong).

If you want similar behavior change the line in the [Setup] section of the script.

from:
DefaultDirName={#DefaultDir}\{#GameName}

to:
DefaultDirName={code:NoSD}\Games\{#GameName}

Then paste this code below into the [ Code] section of the script.

const
  DRIVE_FIXED = 3;

function GetLogicalDriveStrings(nLenDrives: DWORD; lpDrives: String): DWORD;
  external '[email protected] stdcall delayload';

function GetDriveType(lpDisk: String): DWORD;
  external '[email protected] stdcall delayload';

function NoSD(Param: String): String;
var
  Drive: String;
  Buffer: String;
begin
  SetLength(Buffer, 255);
  SetLength(Buffer, GetLogicalDriveStrings(254, Buffer));
  Result := ExpandConstant('{sd}');
  while Pos(#0, Buffer) > 0 do
  begin
    Drive := Copy(Buffer, 1, Pos(#0, Buffer) - 1);
    if (GetDriveType(Drive) = DRIVE_FIXED) and (CompareText(Drive, ExpandConstant('{sd}\')) <> 0) then
    begin
      Result := RemoveBackslash(Drive);
      Break;
    end;
    Delete(Buffer, 1, Pos(#0, Buffer));
  end;
end;

I hope that's what you need.
