I got an error message today with version 2.0.1.4:

The settings are not special, except that I have the files compared by MD5 (other options I have not tested) checksum.

Have I set anything wrong there? Whereas it worked with the same settings with v2.0.1.3.

And since I'm here: This "Disc format" is irrelevant for me and there would be no matter what I set (if I could change it - which probably currently not possible anyway?).

Does this error always happen?
You sensed the path used.
The paths used must not exceed 255 characters and cannot contain some special characters.

If possible, see if the error always happens.
try to move the folder files keeping only a few mb and recompress with the same configs and let me know if the error continues.

EDIT:
I did several tests here to check the hash and never once did this bug happen.
Maybe it could have something to do with some filename.

Okay, I think I found the "problem", after 8 hours: If I select, like on the first picture, in the bottom right corner anything (OTHER, STEAM, GOG, UWP) and in the tab "Game 1" at "List to filter exclude files:" delete the entries

_CommonRedist\*
_Backup\*

(they are already there or at least I didn't enter them), then I can reproduce this "XHashEx.dll" error.

If I add the entries again, everything works without problems.

Thank you for the informations.
I already asked BLACKFIRE69 to correct the bug in the XHashEx.dll library.

@César
I have a problem here.

- The file ccff7r.7z will not be extracted to Xtool_2020 folder.
- The file "oo2core_9_win64.dll" will not be added to Setup.dll for some reason.

Compression only works if I manually extract ccff7r.7z to XTool_2020 folder.

I made a mistake here?

What is the best method to compress Assassins Creed Unity using "DiskSpan GUI" ?

It seems there are two different method :

1.AFR 19+SREP+LOLZ
AFR 20 has some bugs & gives error !

2.Anvil Forge+SREP+LOLZ

Which method is better [Better compression results] ?

Source path to compress external folder

in Game # tab.

Do I have to use Inno Setup constants for documents folder like "{userdocs}" or Windows folder variable like "%userprofile%\documents"? And will this be added to records.ini afterwards?

By default you should use Inno Setup constants like {userdocs}.
The Windows environment variables are not expanded in the ExpandConstant function, so it would be necessary to change all the code for the environment variables to be expanded. I find it unnecessary since Inno Setup variables are popular.

I have a problem here. If I set SourcePath= key like this

SourcePath={userdocs}\Folder

the output path in records.ini is like this

Output={app}\

Shouldn't it use the same path like the SourcePath key? Because the files from "{userdocs}\Folder" will be extracted to {app} in this case.
