You have to create Support\DirectX\DXSetup.exe for yourself! Thats a Folder Called Support, in this Folder you make a new Folder Called DirectX in this Folder comes DXSetup.exe.

The Folder Support you must copy next to your Setup.exe. This works also with _CommonRedist Folders which been Installed with a Game.

Hi inge what i meant was in the installer creator i have started to make my first repack and have come to the part where it asks you to put this command {src}\Support\DirectX\DXSetup.exe into the resources but when i type it in on the resources panel in the creator, it is staying blank. How do you make a dxsetup.exe file and do you have to make one everytime you make a repack.Or i have just found this command will this one work path-to-redistributable\dxsetup.exe /silent.

remove {src} ONLY needs the Support\DirectX

...come to the part where it asks you to put this command {src}\Support\DirectX\DXSetup.exe into the resources but when i type it in on the resources panel in the creator, it is staying blank.

FIRST click Add, then Type your Stuff.

How do you make a dxsetup.exe file and do you have to make one everytime you make a repack.

You can find Direct X on Microsoft Page When your Game got a _CommonRedist Folder then you find DX and Visual C in there. Just type the _CommonRedist in Task Tab of IC.


The Redist Folder you must copy next to your setup.exe for Install.

Try out different Sizes for Autorun and Setup Window, also for Button Positions and Text Background (size and position). Check if you write anything correct in Executable and Task tab.
For External Compressed Files click Run->Build
For Internal, Run->Compile

Thanyou for this inge has this s my first installer i have been wanting to learn for some time now. Also inge i am going to change the progress bar has i did not like the one i made i have made a slightly better one.

About directx do i have to download the directx runtime web installer and add that into ic seperately from the game folder or add it to game folder before running repack.

You don't have to. But it works also with web Installers. ALWAYS copy Redist to DVD No 1.
I'll tell you if it works on other side.
