WTH ?!


Edit :

if not ISExec(0, 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.exe'), ExpandConstant('x -o+ -cfg"{tmp}\arc.ini" -w"{app}" -dp"{app}" "{src}\try.arc"'), ExpandConstant('{tmp}'), '...', False) then break;

Extract successul !

But ISArcExtract would be better....

try this:

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 100, ExpandConstant('{src}\data.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False) then break;

unarc.dll returned an error code : -2
error : unsupported compression method pzlib+srep+delta+lzma....

a picture to illustrate crc checksum error in inno ( ASC stops decompression but doesn't give this error)

I had to setup a test inno installer with existing script of mine for Skyrim SE....

it shows install dir for Skyrim SE but files are from Shadow Warrior 2 ...bin files as described in my previous post !

If I recompress "pc_arch_common.bin" alone it works ok at decomp but as soon as I compress several files together (big and small files mixed together with no sorting option in freearc) .... I have this CRC ERROR

I tried both inno and ASC and same results.... this bug might comes from pzlib
and was already present on V2 .... with a few games type of files! (MGSTPP, Skyrim SE and previous versions, also had this bug on DarkSiders 2 files)

I tried on xeon 3440 + 8Gb Ram, and i5 3570 + 16 Gb ram , fully stable machines ....same results

shazzla What game is trying to compress?

[shazzla]

crysis 1

[LuzhinE]

Your system is 64 or 32 bits

[shazzla]

x64.

but as i wrote before :
I can unpack the archives using isdone with ISExec.

IsArcExtract doesnt work. And i dont know why..... :/

[LuzhinE]

X64 version
You do not need to add anything else
You can open pZLib.exe directly to read its documentation

I hope you understand, if you get CRC error try changing to -m1 or use reflate for some games

[shazzla]

everytings clear as it was before. btw thanks !

[zouzouni]

OK... I finally succeeded in compressing Shadow Warrior 2 bin files

after numerous attempts.. I found "THE SETTING" : ) for this game and no more crc checksum error at decomp ....installation is ok in both ASC and INNO

for that used pzlib x86 (instead of x64) v3H, I had to split games files in 4 parts and I had to get rid of -c# setting and apply :
packcmd = pZLib e -m2 -st50p -ct8 -b1024k - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

I had to "sacrify" size (from 8.4Gb to 8.53Gb) but still I am happy with it !!

Thx again Razor for sharing this fantastic tool , I will never forget to give you the credits for it! ...brilliant work

add raw2hif_dll.dll , hif2raw_dll.dll and pzlib.exe in your script

post#71 has the following & used x86 version NOT x64 versions.

packcmd = pZLib e -m2 -st50p -ct8 -b1024k - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

simple copy / paste into your arc.ini to see if it helps any, try using pZLib instead of pzlib
don't think it matters any but try as suggested.

Thanks Very Much ... Extract Perfect ... Finally

Can you please provide the code & resource files you used in your script that you used to decompress the pzlib based archive. I'm suffering from the same issue, my installer can't extract. I'm just asking for the required code and resource files that instruct the installer to extract the pzlib archives.
Please..
