Not directly related on innosetup, more with the compression:

I want to use srep as I am unable to compress a game to the required size I need, I have downloaded freearc and the powerpack and added the
"[External compressor:srep]
packcmd = srep {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep -d {options} - - <stdin> <stdout>"
Line to my 'Arc.ini' in my freearc bin folder.

The problem is that the GUI does not have any new options for srep or anything, so how on earth do I use Srep?

I have checked the batch file in the "INNO TROUBLESHOOT - Tutorials and Answers about INNO Setup" section but to me it simply looks like someone facerolled on their keyboard and made it a .bat file. He talks about different parameters and such, without explaining any of them, then gives an example with a whole lot of extra stuff in it that wasn't explained (eg; "arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ .\data1.cab [email protected]" has 0 explanation and I cannot comprehend it at all).

And where would I put the Game Directory?

If explaining is too hard, Could someone give me an example of a batch use purely for Srep?

Please, i am desperate.

particularly this bit here:
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ .\data3.cab

It seems like it has something to do with running freearc (hence the 'Arc'), with a few options (Such as a -ep1 -r -w), followed by the destination of the archive once it is made.

The problem is, I do not know what each parameter does, and I cannot see where the destination starts and parameters end (the -w.\.\ is confusing me, is the first '.' part of the parameter, or the destination? I have not seen a -w parameter on freearc so I do not know where it comes from). Also, the 'ep1' isn't explained either.
