ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[KaktoR]

Not without rewriting bunch of code.

I think the fastest "workaround" would be to include records.ini to setup.exe and let it unpack to temp folder (or let setup.exe create a new one instead). Before archive unpacking starts, use SaveStringToFile function and change "Source=" to source dir (from where you install) and "Output=" to target dir (destination of the game or whatever).

I have not looked up the code, but all needed info should be in "procedure UltraArc".

This way records.ini will be stored and read from %temp% folder instead of source folder (so it's not directly visible to the users).

The complicated way is to use ISArcExtract

if not ArcExtract(100,'Archive.arc') then break;

But for this much more code changing is needed.

After some trial and error i got it working thanks for the lead their and thanks for the script.

Yep, its not so complicated, i had this already done for my setups on asis. Just include the records.ini on the asis script to be copy over to the tmp folder just the same way you include an compressor. Then change on the script the src values to tmp for the records.ini. Works perfect this way

Here is a detailed way how to add it to asis (in my case i place the records.ini where the settings.ini file is). I add some more code so if someone wants to add it it can be located in easy way

First part on very top of the script:

#define ScriptVersion "7.1.0"

#include "Settings.ini"
#include "Compressor.ini"
#include "Records.ini"

On the same script a bit after:

Source: Include\ASIS.png; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy;
Source: Include\ASIS.bmp; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy;
Source: Settings.ini; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy; 
Source: Records.ini; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy;

And finally this:

  ExtractTemporaryFile('Settings.ini'); 
  ExtractTemporaryFile('Records.ini');

After all this 3 entries just on the same script look for all

{src}\records.ini

and change them to:

{tmp}\records.ini

Remember, records.ini should be placed on the root folder of asis this way.

thanks for posting such detailed information, i'm sure there will be more then just a few who may want to do this.
