FirstBGImage= key serves to inform which first slide image belongs to each component.

Example, if you have three components (games), and you put 5 images of each game, then if you correctly set FistBGImage as 1,6,11 respectively for components 1,2,3 then when selecting only components 1 and 3 the images 6 to 10 will not be displayed on the slides as component 2 has not been checked.

That depends on ur image editing skills.....
U can create Autorun.png/Installer#.png yourself without any rounded corner in any photo editing software.....

I have a question about [CMDCommands]

Are the commands executed from {app} or {tmp}?

I have to create a folder shortcut inside the {app} folder.

[CMDCommands]
@echo off
mklink /D ".\ModData\Data" ".\Data"

You could try:

[CMDCommands]
@echo off
echo %cd% >> "C:\mylocation.txt"
pause

It will save the location to the specified text file

I just found out you can use the IS constants inside the batch, so all ok

Added CIU 3.0.0.1.b8.u3 HF4 in the previous post (Along with the latest CIU source code).
In a few days I will share a version of the CIU with support for "DiskSpan GUI 2.0.0.1".
I didn't have a lot of time to make the necessary changes to the CIU code because it's pretty messed up after testing the inclusion of protection for the design images.
Wait a little longer!

[Cesar82]

Updated CIU 3.0.0.1.b9 compatible with DiskSpan_GUI 2.0.0.1.
For change information take a quick tour of the changelog files.

INFO:
1) Download the attachment and also the latest DiskSpan GUI from DiskSpan GUI thread and extract boot files using WinRar or 7Zip.
2) Move the "COMPRESSOR" folder from the DiskSpan_GUI attachment to the CIU source code folder.

P.S: I shared the attachments separately so that the same attachment from DiskSpan_GUI can be used for other installers such as ASIS, LIS or others installers.
Also read the changes in the changelog because many keys have changed or no longer exist, and also some files need to be renamed or are no longer supported.
It may contain some new bugs in CIU because a large part of the code has changed.
So I ask you to report the bugs found so they can be fixed.
Thanks to everyone who contributed testing and reporting bugs in previous versions!

EDIT:
Added hotfix 1.
- Fixed infinite loop (freezing installer) when reading records.ini files when using tasks and also when using maintenance page.
