While I successfully implemented the function, I encountered an issue when attempting to close the installer using the newly added functionality. Specifically, I received an error message. To troubleshoot, I meticulously reviewed my code and made adjustments based on your original script.

The modified version now resides in the file below, and I'm pleased to report that it works seamlessly without requiring any additional lines of code such as WizardForm.Free. However, there are only one remaining challenges:

Minimizing and Maximizing Animation Not Displayed: Despite the improvements, minimizing and maximizing animation doesn't appear as expected.

I kindly request your assistance in resolving these issues. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.

I think combining AnimateWindow will not work together with this code.
You could throw AnimateWindow into the WizardForm.OnShow event.
I modified the code a little and added timers for FadeIn/FadeOut (see attachment).

Thank you. It took some time, but it's finally done. This is a gift for you, as a token of my appreciation for your help with the previous post.

Thanks for sharing.

But I would like to inform you that the VRAM is not reading correctly...
Reading is limited to 32-bit integers.
Should have returned 12 GB of VRAM here (see first image).
Also the windows identification is not being displayed correctly. It is labeled as "Windows 10 Interprise" and is "Windows 10 Pro" (see second image)
I attached a code that detects VRAM above 4 GB in case you want to use part of it for your module (see third image).

EDIT: I think you should use the "Extended" type (not Int64) to make it compatible with previous versions of Inno Setup such as the IS Enhanced 5.51 version that many use due to the excellent programming/debugging interface and extra classes offered in this version.

that`s not possible because the GetPhysicallyInstalledSystemMemory api function will only one work with Int64 type.


well done, i hope this release should work as expected, and also if you have windows 11, please test this release on that machine to see if every things work`s well or no.

Edit: i also modified the GetCPUArchitecture function to work with GetNativeSystemInfo and IsWow64Process api function.

INFO:
- Contains a MsgBox in the module's GetCPUArchitecture function.
- Keeps returning "Windows Interprise".
- You cannot use "RoundUp(Round(GetGPUVRAM))" in the example.
You can use RoundUp only after converting to MB.
RoundUp rounds the values ​​to a multiple of 64, because for example if you get 493 MB it would return 512 MB (Which would be a multiple of 64).
You can change the example script to:

+ 'GPU VRAM: ' + ConvertUnitFormat(GetGPUVRAM, In_Bytes, In_MegaBytes, 0, False) + #13#10

Attached is a solution for compatibility with Inno Setup 5.51.ee2

Thank you for helping me improve this module
