Talking FXPacker v2.0 - A Data Protector for InnoSetup

FXPacker API


Introduction:

FXPacker started as a side project to 'FMXInno', primarily dedicated to safeguarding various data types, such as (graphical content: images, music, text, etc.), used in the installer from unauthorized access.


Changes:

This is Version 2. Let's review the changes it introduces.

Code:
1. Improved speed and reliability compared to previous versions.
   -- Note: This may cause compatibility issues with previous versions.

2. Now supports larger files.
   -- Please ensure that the total size of the files remains below 800 MB. 
      (Total_File_Size * 2 + Extra should be less than 2 GB)

3. Added new events: 
   -- OnProgress, OnDataSaving, OnItemUnpack, OnEncrypt, OnDecrypt.

4. Introduced additional functions.
   -- For a better understanding of how to use these functions, 
      refer to the examples provided in the attachment.

Simple Example:

Code:
Pack:

var
  FXOk: Boolean;
  BufferA: AnsiString;
  BufferW: WideString;
  Count: Cardinal;
  FSize: Integer;
  LPtr: Longint;

begin
  FXOk := FXPckrInit('@#123_Test', ExpandConstant('{src}\MySetup.exe'), False);

  if FXOk then
  begin
    // Img1
    FXPckrAddFile(ExpandConstant('{src}\Files\Img1.png'));
 
    // Img2
    FileSize(ExpandConstant('{src}\Files\Img2.png'), FSize);
    SetLength(BufferA, FSize);
    FXFileToBuffer1A(ExpandConstant('{src}\Files\Img2.png'), BufferA);
    FXPckrAddFromBuffer1A('Img2.png', BufferA);

    // Save
    FXPckrSave(ExpandConstant('{src}\Setup.dat'));
  end;


  { CleanUp }
  FXPckrFree;
end;

Code:
Unpack:

var
  FXOk: Boolean;
  BufferA: AnsiString;
  BufferW: WideString;
  Count: Cardinal;
  FSize: Integer;
  LPtr: Longint;

begin
  FXOk := FXUnPckrInit(ExpandConstant('{src}\Setup.dat'), '@#123_Test');

  if not FXOk then
  begin
    ShowErr('Failed to initialize the setup. The installation process cannot continue.');
  end else
  begin
    // Img1
    FXUnPckrExtract('Img1.png', ExpandConstant('{src}'));

    // Img2
    FSize := FXUnPckrExtractFileSize('Img2.png');
    SetLength(BufferA, FSize);
    FXUnPckrExtractToBuffer1A('Img2.png', BufferA);
  end;


  { CleanUp }
  FXUnPckrFree;
end;

@BLACKFIRE69, Thank you very much for the updates.
Maybe you can include an additional function...
function FXPckrAddFileList(const FileList: WideString): Boolean;

Usage like this:
Code:
StrList := TStringList.Create;
try
    StrList.LoadFromFile(ExpandConatant('{src}\FileList.txt'));
    FXPckrAddFileList(StrList.Text);
finally
   StrList.Free;
end;
You could also store files with a folder structure inside Data.dat.
To do this, use the character "|" as an option to inform the destination path in the internal structure of Data.dat. If "|" does not exist, add as a file without a subfolder in the internal structure of the items.
Code:
FXPckrAddFile('C:\my_test\filetest.txt|my_test\file_name.txt');
This would allow using files with the same names for different cases.
Thanks!
